ABOUT ALISON HOWARD
Alison Howard is a speaker, coach, and on-camera personality who helps entrepreneurs, coaches, creators, and experts become the trusted face of their business through confident visibility. She teaches business owners how to leverage video, storytelling, and authentic communication to build trust, attract the right clients, and grow their business by becoming known for who they are, not just what they do.
With more than a decade of experience speaking, coaching, and presenting, Alison has built multiple successful businesses and coached thousands of entrepreneurs in confidence, communication, business growth, mindset and personal development. Her practical approach combines authentic connection with strategic visibility, helping clients use their personality as their greatest competitive advantage.
Born in California's Central Valley to Portuguese immigrant parents with an entrepreneurial spirit, Alison grew up surrounded by hard work, lifelong learning, and courageous risk-taking. Those values shaped her passion for communication, leadership, and helping others pursue meaningful work.
After studying at California State University, Fresno, Alison founded a successful wedding planning company in San Diego, where she planned more than 200 weddings and events over the course of a decade. Her work was featured in The Knot, Brides, and Exquisite Weddings, and she became a nationally recognized educator after developing one of the industry's first comprehensive training programs for wedding planners. During that season, she was selected to film a television pilot, invited by ABC Daytime to audition as a talk show co-host alongside Tyra Banks and Chrissy Teigen, and became the first wedding planner in the world to secure a paid YouTube partnership.
Today, Alison coaches, speaks, creates content, and continues to pursue opportunities on stage and on camera while helping entrepreneurs confidently step into the spotlight themselves. Through video, social media, speaking engagements, and authentic storytelling, she lives the very principles she teaches: showing business owners how to build trust, grow their influence, and become the trusted face of their business by simply having the courage to let people see who they are.
Alison believes that expertise earns credibility, but visibility builds trust. She is passionate about helping business owners stop hiding behind their work and start showing up with confidence because people don't buy from businesses, they buy from people. Through the power of video and authentic communication, she equips entrepreneurs to become recognizable, memorable, and trusted in a crowded marketplace.
Alison lives in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with her husband and their three children.

Trust has become one of the greatest drivers of buying decisions, and video is the fastest way to build it because it allows people to experience who you are before they ever meet you.
My passion is helping entrepreneurs confidently step into the spotlight, use their personality as their greatest differentiator, and become the trusted face of their business.
