“Allison’s impact has been nothing short of transformational. Her deep understanding of the AEC industry, paired with a truly unique approach to interview coaching, has elevated the way our teams show up in high-stakes presentations.

What sets Allison apart is her ability to go beyond the standard do’s and don’ts of interview prep. She dives into team psychology, helps participants manage stage fright, and shares tactics and real-world stories that resonate long after the training ends. These insights have changed the way we approach interviews and more importantly, they have helped us win work.

If you are looking for someone who can bring out the best in your teams and leave a lasting impression, I highly recommend AEC Pursuit Strategies.”
