We think that people need to feel alive to do creative work, when people really need the agency to do the creative work that brings them alive.

ABOUT

What brings you alive?

Over 15 years ago, working in public education, Alisha was charged with helping her failing school district improve culture and performance. Not an easy task but she was up for the challenge. She turned to a deceptively simple approach - Positive Deviance, which stands on one belief.

In every organization there are people whose outlier practices are generating remarkable outcomes despite facing the same barriers as everyone else. With their innovative ways living outside of the conditioned, cultural norms of the community, their solutions are hidden in plain sight.

After years of experiencing burnout and the isolation that comes from challenging conventional thinking, Alisha recalls the feelings of hope and aliveness that came from being given the agency to discover and scale the solutions that mattered most. This changed EVERYTHING about how she viewed problems, their solutions and how to engage people in a way that brings them alive.

Alisha doesn’t merely disrupt the status quo, she redefines it with a bold and purposeful vision.

While Alisha’s efforts went on to transform the system of education across NJ, her influence began to spread across industries. In 2019 she was invited to speak to corporate audiences to help address the toxic work cultures, escalating mental health issues, disengagement, siloed innovation, resistance to change and ineffective leadership strategies that were plaguing companies.

Leaning on more than 20 years of combined experience as a speaker, high-performance coach, educator and therapist, Alisha shares a proven framework to help leaders uncover and scale positive disruption.

Her riveting keynote speeches and workshops provide the tools and frameworks to help teams infuse aliveness back into their work, revolutionize corporate culture and amplify the solutions already alive within organizations and just waiting to be discovered.

We must create the spaces where people don’t just fit in or stand out but thrive with each other.
