I BIO: Thought Strategist ... what an ideal way to describe Alison Donaghey who also serves as a speaker, successful business owner, consultant and author of Think Opposite: Using the Domino Effect to Change Your Business, Change the World. Alison specializes in challenging people to suspend their belief and explore the opposite of what they believe. Then they proceed with clarity because they either remain firm in their original belief or they shift to apoint of view that they are more aligned with. She can share countless examples of how encouraging others to question their status quo often leads to improvements not only in their world but the world.
