Speaking
Alana Cummings speaks at women's leadership events, conferences, ERGs, retreats, and panels. Her talks blend 13+ years of corporate leadership, coaching wisdom, personal storytelling, humor, and practical tools. Audiences leave more confident, grounded, and sure of themselves. She also produces her own signature live event, Give Yourself Permission.
Every topic below can be shaped to your room. These are their natural homes.
What becomes possible when you stop waiting for permission to want more, speak up, change direction, or trust what you already know. A powerful conversation about self-trust, identity, and having the courage to create a life and career that actually feel fulfilling.
Fear will always have something to say, but it doesn’t have to drive your decisions. Through personal storytelling and practical reflection, Alana explores what changes when we stop letting fear, judgment, and uncertainty cast the deciding vote on our careers, next chapters, and lives.
High performers don’t always lack competence. Often, they lack trust in their own competence. Explore what drives overthinking, over-preparing, approval-seeking, and decision paralysis, and how leaders can create cultures where capable people trust themselves enough to act.
A practical, interactive workshop for women who are ready to speak more confidently, set clearer boundaries, and stop outsourcing their authority. Participants leave with tools to navigate self-doubt, communicate what they need, and lead more fully as themselves.
Strong leadership isn’t about getting more out of people. It’s about creating the conditions where people can do their best work. This session explores trust, emotional safety, communication, boundaries, and the everyday leadership behaviors that build healthier, higher-performing teams.
For women navigating demanding environments where they may feel pressure to constantly prove themselves. Explore how to stay grounded in your own voice, navigate visibility and pressure, advocate for yourself, and lead with greater confidence and self-trust.
30 to 60 minutes on your main stage. Story-driven, funny where it should be, serious where it counts.
60 or 90 minutes, hands-on, or a half-day or full-day retreat. Your people do the work in the room.
Team coaching, custom leadership experiences, ERG series, and internal coaching days where employees get one-on-one support.
From sold-out women's events to corporate leadership teams. Alana has spoken for organizations across Rochester and beyond, and was featured in Rochester Woman Online.

Highly recommend the inspiring Alana Cummings to any business seeking a transformative workshop to re-energize and uplift their team. In today’s session with our Women in Business Group at First American Equipment Finance, Alana challenged us to reflect on a powerful question: Am I living as my most authentic self? It was a meaningful opportunity to pause, step away from the daily hustle and constant noise, and refocus on what truly matters. A great reminder that the most valuable investment you can make is in yourself.
Our organization had the pleasure of working with Superbloom Coaching for our organization’s women’s group, where Alana presented “Passion Meets Purpose: A Workshop to Reignite Your Why.” From the start, Alana was thoughtful and collaborative, consulting with us in advance to tailor the session so it would resonate with a broad and diverse audience… Our team appreciated the thoughtful balance of reflective exercises and practical tools designed to bring energy and clarity to both our personal and professional lives. I would highly recommend Alana for corporate learning, development, and training initiatives!
