You are a coach that cares and is willing to go above and beyond. You have made a huge impact for me and my life (your coaching touches more than just business). I appreciate your help and friendship.

There are many things I love about the business support at Deliberate Directions. Allison has a true gift of being able to dive deep into my goals, fears and roadblocks. I very much enjoy the 90 Day Business Planning, as it breathes new life into my actions every quarter. It's one day that provides so much clarity on why we are doing what we do but also the HOW, broken into bite sized pieces. Highly recommend!
President, Property Management
We have some good news -- our studio was featured by Good Morning America as a business adapting creatively in the face of the pandemic. Thanks again for guiding us especially at the start of quarantine -- it really helped us keep forging ahead instead of panicking. We appreciate you motivating us along the way!

Allison Dunn helped my team with our midyear look-back and goal setting to achieve our 2020 vision. Keep an eye on my customer spotlight posts. My team will be launching some amazing e-government services this year and planning several big leaps forward in 2020 for Idaho citizens.

As I progressed in my leadership journey, I ran into a significant roadblock. Searching for a mentor outside of my routine professional network, I found Allison Dunn. Allison’s guidance activated not only professional success but helped me to become a better Father, Leader, Manager, and Entrepreneur. With the Engage & Grow Program, she took our team and transformed it into a group of leaders that creates a positive and results-driven culture through team connection and simple leadership principles. It was a game-changer for myself and my team. During the time I worked with Allison, I have experienced significant growth in both business results and personal success.

Allison's coaching has been tremendously valuable over the past 6 months by building on to my foundation of leadership theory, extracting critical takeaways through her analytical line of questions, and being held accountable to my stretch assignments. I've noticed an improvement in the outcomes of my crucial conversations, am more aware of my strengths and weaknesses as well as of those around me, and am thinking and operating more strategically and deliberately.
Chris JohnsonVice President of IT, Scentsy

Every business owner should have a business coach! Not just any coach though, Allison Dunn specifically! She is like having a business partner for a solo entrepreneur like me. She helped me set a direction for my business and achieve over 30% growth in 2017! The most significant thing Allison did was give me the tools to run my business instead of having it running me! Her whole team is amazing and accommodating. I always feel like a VIP when working with them and her new office feels like home!

Our strategic planning team started with coaching and team building facilitated by Allison. She is outstanding. You must consider Allison for coaching and other leadership services.

After looking for a coach to help my business get to the next level I was introduced to Allison. She knows where to press the right buttons, help me get a clear direction, as well as find blind spots so we can continue to grow. I can honestly say that we are much better off with Allison as part of our team. Her guidance has allowed me to own my leadership position in my company rather than be stuck in the day to day operator role.
Josh MattsonDirector of Clinic Relations and Events, EGOSCUE
Josh Mattson
I not only have had the pleasure of working with Allison, but have been in the position to watch and learn as she has coached others. What you need in a coach is someone that can tell you what you need to hear in order to be better, and not just be a cheerleader. Allison blends those skills together in a way that helps you be accountable and at the same time feel supported. It's easy to say you want to make a change. When you truly are ready to make a change I would highly suggest sitting down with Allison.
Jeremy MillerExecutive Director, BNI of Southern Idaho
Jeremy Miller
Amazing business coach! Allison really helped us identify our weaknesses and improve our strengths! Our team is the strongest it has every been due to many of the tools that Allison has shared with us.

Our company was looking for guidance to get through some new challenges based on growth. Allison Dunn has been more than advertised in her knowledge and understanding on multiple levels of the business. She's been able to help our leadership development, team cohesion, and operations. Whether direct coaching or attending workshop offerings, Allison really gives her all in helping business owners like us.
Paul SchellManager, EGOSCUE

Allison is such a delight! She knows the right way to help businesses find their weak areas and improve upon those as well as their strengths.

Allison is the best! I own a small DJ company and don't have a lot of experience running a business. Allison has been a valuable mentor to me. The skills and insights she teaches have helped take my company to another level. Her classes and workshops always leave me feeling inspired and motivated. I highly recommend Allison as a business coach!
