About CSC

The CSC Mission:

Canyon Springs Consulting exists to help leaders and teams create meaningful, lasting change in their work and in their lives, by offering in-depth guidance that is customized specifically to the unique needs of each client.

My Background:

I arrived at my current profession with a strong and varied background in small business, nonprofit work, behavioral health, and outdoor education. I earned a MA in Applied Behavioral Science from the Leadership Institute of Seattle , and a BA in Counseling Psychology from Prescott College . My credentials also include certification as a Certified Retreat Coach . When I'm not in working, I love spending time in the outdoors – rafting, kayaking, skiing, biking, and hiking (And snorkeling when I can!). Managing a small hobby farm with my husband also fills my days with joy and countless life lessons, as we care for over 29 animals and a variety of plants. We currently divide our time (and our farm!) between Moab, Utah in the United States , and Bella Coola, British Columbia , in Canada.

You can also find out more about me on my two partner websites, the Retreat Coach Network , and Global Expeditions . And, join my mailing list , which will give you periodic updates of my retreats, teleclasses, and travels.

Owner of

TESTIMONIAL

“Alison facilitated our management team year-end debrief and planning. We walked away with numerous ideas on guidelines and structure for future meetings, and increased awareness of interpersonal communication…we all learned new skills and developed more self-confidence in approaching other managers and our employees with difficult issues.”

- Trevor H.
Executive Assistant
Global Expeditions, Inc.

"The work of Alison Kennedy-Sayers proved invaluable to our organization.  Her thoughtful processes guided us towards greater clarity and organizational insight...just what we were looking for.  In addition, her training better prepared us to handle change, conflict, and growth as individuals and an organization.  We were able to work out difficult answers, but more importantly, we better know how to phrase the important questions.  She is a master of her art."
