Testimonials for Alison Keane

Alison Keane’s gentle style and belief in the power of mindfulness to contribute to the health of individuals and organisations was evident from the first time we met with her.  Throughout 2015 and 2016, Alison delivered a rolling series of 5-week mindfulness courses to SLQ staff, in addition to a one day workshop for our senior and executive leaders.  Feedback on the mindfulness training delivered by Alison was glowing.  The calm, patient and careful manner in which she leads groups was evident throughout our program and our staff appreciated Alison’s insights and encouragement to become more aware of themselves, their reactions, behaviours and their wellbeing. Alison’s contribution to the leadership program at SLQ was valuable and her knowledge and flexibility ensured that our program was successful – as testament to this a group of SLQ staff continue to meet for a mindful meditation every week.
