Keynotes
Trust Over Fear
The concept Alana’s whole practice revolves around. What changes when you stop letting fear cast the deciding vote on your career, your relationships, and your next chapter.
The Confidence to Be Seen
On visibility as a skill, and why competence alone never made anyone feel sure of themselves.
Workshops
Self-Worth Is a Leadership Skill
The corporate case for the inner work: leaders who trust themselves communicate more clearly, decide faster, and build stronger teams.
The Hidden Cost of People-Pleasing
What saying yes to everything is actually costing your people, and the boundaries that give teams their honesty back.
Becoming More Sure of Yourself
Practical tools for the quiet middle of a career or a life: less second-guessing, less proving, more of your own voice.

From the rooms
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!
