Hey! I’m Allyson Brunette,
the “Local Government Whisperer”
I helps local governments and leaders across sectors thrive—through culture transformation, strategic coaching, and data-driven problem-solving. Based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I bring over a decade of experience in community and organizational development, offering innovative services like Data Analyst On-Demand and the Civic Health Check™ to help governments lead with clarity and purpose.
I became a certified coach after facing burnout myself — a turning point that completely reshaped how I approach work and well-being. Today, I support professionals from many walks of life by maximizing their impact without sacrificing balance, helping them lead with focus, confidence, and renewed energy.
As a keynote speaker, I’ve built a reputation for my engaging, no-nonsense talks on building workplace culture, workforce resilience, and next-generation leadership. My sessions spark action, shift mindsets, and leave audiences inspired to rethink the status quo.
