In 2011 Alice co-founded one of Scotland’s leading social enterprises, Social Bite, famous for feeding, employing and housing the homeless community, and bringing the likes of George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harry & Meghan and more to Scotland.
Social Bite achieved amazing things thanks to the hard work of a small, dedicated team of young adults who worked with Alice to build Social Bite. Alice and her team took the term “business agility” to a whole new level, working tirelessly to pull off exciting and meaningful work, opening stores throughout the country, holding events such as Sleep in the Park (18,000 people) resulting in more than 600 homes through the ‘Housing First’ programme for people who’d been street homeless for years, and building the first of its kind, the ‘Social Bite Village’ for up to 20 people with 24/7 on-site support.
In 2020, with Social Bite fully established as a respected organisation nationwide and employing over 100 people, Alice decided to leave. She found herself burnt out, and ironically, unfulfilled from a decade of high-pressure business expansion and professional growth which was both an invaluable and conflicting experience for her.
She flew the nest to begin a new chapter focusing on understanding professional well-being, integrity and the limitless potential inside of us all when we harness it in the right way and understand ourselves on a deeper level. Alice retrained as a Professional Coach, utilising her vast and varied experience in business and social impact and prides herself on a science-based approach combining neurochemistry, cognitive behavioural coaching, the enneagram of personality and breath work.
These skills have created tangible results for her and her clients. She uses her expertise to listen, guide, challenge and address her client’s limiting beliefs, facilitating a structured process that accesses their true potential. She holds a Higher Diploma in Coaching, a Higher Diploma in People Management & a certificate in Neurochemistry and The Enneagram of Personality.
Alice holds three Honorary Doctorate degrees, an ITV Pride of Britain Award, a Higher Diploma in Coaching, a Higher Diploma in People Management & several certificates in Neurochemistry and The Enneagram of Personality, as well as a TEDx talk which is available here.
