About Alyssa Hi there, I'm Alyssa. I know a lot of moms start by saying they're moms but really, that's my favorite title. So I'll start there. I love people and have a passion for their stories and development. I don't get stressed by a lot. I truly believe everything is working in my favor and trust in God's greater plan for my life. My professional background is 15+ years in sales, 10+ years in sales leadership. I've been on large teams like Viacom, small startups and everything in between. In 2019, I started to toy with the idea of leadership coaching. I had always lead engaged, overperforming teams and wanted to replicate my secret sauce to other leaders. In 2022, I got the push to get my coaching certification and have been working with leaders ever since. I mention my ability to stay calm in times if stress because I believe this is what distinguishes great leaders. The ability to stay clam, to reframe stressful events, to understand your reaction is all work I do with leaders in my 1:1 coaching. Knowing how important this is, I created a resource exclusively for the Toxic Leadership Audience which can be found here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/64e667398ae79e9ed264b418The Toxic Leadership PodcastInstagram: @ToxicLeadershipPodcastTwitter: @ToxicLeaderShow Dr. Kevin Sansberry II is a behavioral scientist and executive coach with expertise in toxic leadership, human capital strategy, and creating inclusive cultures of belonging to enhance organization performance.
