An inspirational and irreverent keynote that challenges and inspires us to pursue a more intentional life by confronting our mortality head-on, crafting a life without regret, and harnessing the untapped power that lies within each one of us to live every day like there’s No Time to Waste. Bringing light, laughter and intensity to a dark topic enables Alison to help audiences realize they don't have to wait for a health scare, a brush with death, or rock bottom to realize life is short, offering the tools and motivation so they, too, can carpe the sh*t out of life.
Leaning on terror management theory research and drawing from her own personal experience battling metastatic breast cancer, Alison explores our avoidance of death and challenges us to confront this universal inevitability head-on in pursuit of a richer, more meaningful life focused on gratitude, human connection, and joy. None of us know when our time’s almost up, so Alison shares three easy ways to start living a highly-intentional life before the audience leaves the room.
Most people find themselves on their deathbed wishing they’d done life differently, sharing common regrets related to authenticity, relationships, vulnerability, and happiness. Don’t be one of them. Alison explores the top five regrets of the dying and challenging audiences to reflect on the way they choose to live their lives in this funny yet inspiring Keynote.
What do you want to be remembered for when you’re gone? This Keynote explores mortality legacy awareness and the driving need to leave something behind to help us manage difficult emotions and face the prospect of death. Alison takes the audience through a highly interactive experience that prompts self-reflection and helps craft the vision for a legacy that will live on long after they’re gone.
