Meet Allison Mooney, CSP

Allison Mooney is an international, corporate award-winning speaker and author of vast experience.

“I can’t, I’ve split my trousers!”

Allison first came to notice for outstanding customer service as Manager of Ansett Airlines Golden Wing in Auckland, New Zealand.

Here, her benchmark legendary customer service record came to be immortalised in the “I can’t – I’ve split my trousers!” advertisement, part of a group of TV commercials which were based on true life service experience.

She courageously changed careers at forty to become a professional speaker. Allie infuses a desire in her audience to significantly increase their own performance, while constantly improving the quality of their lives and the lives of those they come in contact with.

Personality Plus

Allie says “Regardless of what organisation we are in, we all deal with people.”

“We hire great talent only to find the tremendous amount of conflict arises when working with others, creating stress, increasing sick days and losing productivity.”

Allison says “The Golden rule should read…

“Treat others not as you would like to be treated, but as they would like to be treated”

By using a simple, practical tool, delivered by Allison’s trademark “energy passion and humour”, Allie will help you get the best out of your people.
