ABOUT YOUR HOST
Allison Keeley
Allison Keeley is a Professional Communication Coach and Trainer, and veteran public speaker. Her fascination with human language and communication began when she lived in Europe as a young child; everyone spoke more than one language and none of the television was in English! She also had a lifelong love affair with animals.
While pursuing a degree in Social-Psycho Linguistics, Allison explored opportunities to work with wild and domestic animals. This exploration led her into a career that spanned more than 20 years, interacting with the animals and the public as a zookeeper and trainer.
The unique approach that Allison uses to help her clients understand and dissolve their communication blocks is a direct result of her understanding of how humans and animals communicate. She combines insights from the animal kingdom with her own knowledge, skills, and intuition, helping people bridge the gaps created by communication misses that are often a result of our animal instincts. In this workshop, she shares how these insights can help you navigate the jungle of networking.
