In 2023, Claire’s perspective on resilience was profoundly reshaped when her five-year-old daughter was diagnosed with high-risk stage 4 neuroblastoma. Following her daughter’s treatment, Claire made the intentional decision to step away from her corporate role and pivot her career toward helping individuals and organizations navigate adversity, build resilience, and lead with purpose. Alongside this work, she founded the Strong Like Sloane Foundation, which has raised over $387,000 in support of pediatric cancer research and families.
Claire’s work bridges personal experience with practical insight, offering audiences a grounded, credible approach to thriving through change and making meaningful impact.

Alysia’s athletic career began with exceptional versatility. In Grade 12, she was offered scholarships in four different sports from Canadian and American institutions. She ultimately chose basketball, playing five years at the University of Alberta while earning her bachelor’s degree.
In 2012, while exploring her next career step, Alysia decided to try the sport of bobsled. Within just five and a half years, she rose to the elite level of the sport, representing Canada at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Along the way, she made history in 2015 by becoming the first woman to pilot a four-man bobsled with an all-female crew in an international race. She remains one of the few athletes in the world to have piloted all three types of bobsleds: monobob, two-man, and four-man.
Alysia retired from competitive sport in 2022 after an injury and the challenges of the global pandemic led to her missing the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games despite qualifying. Today, she continues to apply the discipline, resilience, and leadership developed through sport to her professional career.
