Allison Blankenship, who is president of Precision Speaking, Inc., which offers keynotes and workshops on communication and presentation ski

Allison Blankenship is the go-to person for developing and implementing new ideas, strategies and start ups. Allison’s message of “The not-known is the new normal” is hitting a nerve. What worked last year or even last month is no longer valid. People need new critical thinking skills to navigate unexpected change and create sustainable success. She has co-authored three books on leadership, productivity and communications, plus multiple audio series. Her latest book is Upside: How to Zig When Life Zags (Collage Books, 2010) co-authored with Bonnie Michaels, and it’s creating a buzz both in the boardroom and on the bus.
