Allison Graham inspires and empowers better problem solving to increase productivity and happiness while minimizing destructive stress, burnout and team turnover. Driven by her belief that most negative stress is unnecessary, Allison shares her signature concepts with audiences of highly-accomplished, forward-thinking professionals.

Allison’s programs are the result of a decade-long journey that started after a botched surgery caused neuropathic pain. Doctors told her that she would be on pain meds for life and would not work full-time again. They were wrong.

Allison was frustrated with trite, yet typical, stress management and resilience advice. She dove deeper to uncover a better, less stressful way to navigate tough times. She discovered that the answer is to systematically solve problems with less fanfare and to fundamentally shift one’s perspective of issues that steal personal capacity each day.

Her latest book Take Back Your Weekends: Stress Less, Do More, Be Happier illustrates how to apply her 3-Part Problem-Solving Framework to the issue of having too much to do, with too little time and too few resources.

Speaking professionally since 2006, Allison engages audiences with her conversational presentation style and provides a stress-free speaker experience for her clients.
