Alison Deutsch thought she “had it all” – a marketing executive at the Pepsi-Cola Company, happily married, with two children, about to renovate her dream home. Then she and her husband made a decision that unexpectedly altered the trajectory of their lives, and led Alison to question everything she had learned growing up about success and happiness.
Seeking new answers, Alison returned to school, earning two new certifications: one in Applied Positive Psychology and the other as a Certified Professional Coach. As a result of her training in the science of happiness and success, Alison now practices as a "Joy Evangelist" – helping her clients shift their automatic thinking patterns so they too can reconnect to the joy that already exists within them. She believes that starting with finding the joy within is essential because getting happier is the key to creating the foundation for any change we desire.
