 Alison Lanza Falls, a Certified High Performance Coach™, works with individuals and teams to transform their lives from where they are to where they want to be.

Ali’s meditations primarily focus on Mindful Leadership and are integrated into her coaching practice, offered as free sessions and published on Insight Timer. She combines experience from a career on Wall Street and her practice coaching leadership and high performance habits with the science and tools for meditation, mindfulness and energy alignment. Her meditations integrate lessons on clarity, energy, effectiveness, persuasion, and leadership, which are proven skills that move the needle to your next level. 

 Ali has an award winning book, Be Happy NOW! From Wall Street Ambition and the Illusion of Success, My Path to Happiness. In this book, Ali starts her journey on 9/11, realizing she was looking for happiness in all the wrong places – looking outside, to what she accomplished, where she lived, how much money she made -- and discovering conquering the “inner empire” was the key to finding happiness. It is a personal journey shared with vulnerability and courage to help others on their unique journey.
