Alison Fragale ‘97
Alison Fragale is an organizational psychologist, professor at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, and bestselling author of Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve. Her academic research on status, power, negotiation, and influence have been published in her field’s top academic journals as well as national media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. She is a sought-after keynote speaker who uses behavioral science to help individuals, especially women, excel. Prior to her academic career, Alison worked as a consultant for McKinsey and Company, Inc.
She holds a B.A. in mathematics and economics from Dartmouth College and a Ph.D. in organizational behavior from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
Alison resides in Chicago with her husband and her three children, who are all named after professional athletes. She also loves, in no particular order: cheap coffee, not-so-cheap wine, fabulous shoes, sushi, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Peloton workouts, Hallmark movies, and The Golden Girls.
Paula McLeod ‘78
Paula McLeod is a proud member of the Dartmouth class of 1978, the third class that matriculated women. She chose Dartmouth in part so she could be a pioneer.
After a successful and varied professional career in marketing, consulting, and publishing, including 11 years in Asia, in 2013 Paula chose to follow her personal mission and become an executive coach. She says, “We spend too much time at work to be unhappy and unfulfilled. My mission is to help people find fulfillment and success at work, however they define it.”
In addition to being a highly sought after and credentialed coach, Paula regularly facilitates women’s groups and loves to interview other successful women to discover their secrets. She is the founder of Women of Dartmouth’s THRIVE webinar series, a series of 46 webinars of varied topics popular with Dartmouth’s women alumnae.
Paula divides her time between Chicago and the island of Nantucket where she lives in the circa-1745 house that she rescued and preserved. When she is not leading other women to become better sailors she’s probably reading a book on the beach or spending time with her husband, two kids, or dog Brio.
This event is co-hosted by Dartmouth Alumni Relations, Women of Dartmouth, and the Dartmouth Club of Chicago.
