Welcome to the stage…
Dr Alison Edgar MBE
Global Motivational Speaker
As seen on…
According to Gallup*, 90% of the UK workforce are either not engaged or actively disengaged.
Are your team:
Siloing in their departments, resulting in a breakdown of communication?
Resisting change or change fatigued?
Missing deadlines or misunderstanding priorities?
Demotivated and down right unhappy?
Stuck in a “that’s how we’ve always done it” mindset?
Chances are, disengagement has already taken root in your organisation. If you don’t take action, it can spread like wildfire.
Dr Alison Edgar MBE has the solution
With an MBE for Business and an Honorary Doctorate of Education, Alison knows exactly what it takes to transform your team.
Some of the companies Alison has already helped:
Hi I’m Alison…
I created my signature session, The Intrapreneur Mindset, to empower employees to take ownership of their roles by viewing the business through a fresh lens.
When employees feel valued, they become naturally more engaged. They show up at their best, take accountability, and they start asking themselves: “What would I do if this was my business?”
Would I be reactive or proactive? Would I ghost my colleagues? Would I would miss deadlines? Would I accept that change is an inevitable part of growth, both personally and professionally?

How does it work?
Step 1.
We start with a short call to understand your event, audience, and objectives. This is what sets the foundation for content that truly resonates, and means we can tailor the content specifically to ensure maximum impact on your audience.
Step 2.
Off the back of that first call, Alison and the team craft a bespoke talk, reverse-engineering your audience’s challenges into practical, actionable takeaways.
Step 3.
Before the big day, Alison delivers a full virtual dress rehearsal of the session pack. This gives you the chance to make any final tweaks and sign everything off, so there are no surprises when she steps on stage.
This will give you confidence that the session that you are investing in is going to have the impact and desired outcomes that you are looking to achieve, and that Alison Edgar MBE will exceed your expectations of a motivational speaker.
Why do you invest in a speaker?
Is it for an hour of entertainment? Or is it to truly make an impact on your people?
I NEVER just deliver an inspiring story and leave. The whole team at Alison Edgar Ltd work hard on the lead up to your event to ensure the impact lasts long after the applause ends. We do this by:
Getting to know your organisation and the specific challenges you want to address
Shaping bespoke content so the session speaks directly to your audience
Keeping communication clear and simple, so you feel confident your event is in safe hands
Intrapreneurship is my core topic, but I’m often invited in to tell my story (who’d have thought it, wee Alison from the high-rise council flat in Clydebank!)
Most keynote speakers stand on stage and talk about themselves.
Their achievements. Their journey. Their success.
But sometimes that can feel more demotivating than inspiring. Does “that’s great for them, but I can't do that” sound familiar?
I recognised this early on, from my days as a delegate. Not only do I now walk the corporate corridors as an advisor, but I was once an employee too. I see both sides of the coin, so I truly understand the unique challenges teams face. That’s why I tell my story differently.
Yes, I went from leaving school with no qualifications to becoming a bestselling dyslexic author, a global speaker, and earning both an MBE for Entrepreneurship and Business and an Honorary Doctorate of Education. But I only share my journey as proof that obstacles can be overcome - regardless of the cards you've been dealt.
My real focus is showing teams how they can succeed in the face of adversity, whatever that looks like to them.
That’s what makes my sessions different. My story isn’t the message. Your people are the message.
