About me.
Welcome to my blog! I’ve recently delve into the world of creating content for social media and it’s inspired me to make a new blog. A blog, to be honest, that’s more for me to write my thoughts and share IO psychology with those in the world who have no clue what it is! So if you happen upon my blog, welcome and I hope you enjoy or learn something!
My name is Allison and I was born and raised in Plano, TX. To understand my perspective on life, it’s important to know where I come from since my experiences are likely highly different from most readers out there. Plano is a middle-upper middle class city, depending on which side of Plano you hail from, personally I come from the more middle class side of Plano, but I’m still aware of the privilege that I came from. The privilege to be born to 2 loving parents, with 2 older siblings looking out for me, in a city that has plenty of residents that look like me and welcomes who I am, with teachers throughout my education supported me and told me I could be anything despite my gender or the color of my skin. These are all privileges that I was born into and from these privileges and this upbringing I have formed my values, my experiences, and my own perspectives on life.
A quick re-cap of the past 26 years:
Born in Plano, TX
Montessori school, elementary school, middle school, high school all went by pretty normally until my senior high years
Attended TAMS which is Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (nerd alert). It is a high-school college program, where we stay at UNT for 2 years in our own high school dorm, take college courses, and live the dramatic high school years out 24/7 with our other nerdy peers.
Went off to college at UT Austin, thinking I wanted to be a pediatrician this whole time, until I joined a child psychology research lab and decided medical school wasn’t the place for me.
Graduated from UT Austin in 3 years, took a gap year to figure out my life, what I wanted to do next and with my career. Ultimately, I decided I wanted to be an I/O psychologist - a thing I didn’t know existed until after graduation.
Took my GRE, applied to grad school, got into grad school, picked a grad school.
Started grad school, only to endure stressful years with studying, being a TA/TF, doing research, writing and defending my Master’s thesis (woo I’m a Master!), studying for and successfully passing comprehensive exams (otherwise known as qualifying exams - only the hardest exam I’ve ever taken and I took physics y’all...), interning, and now finalizing my dissertation.
It’s been a crazy couple years, which I’ll slowly hash out as I continue this blog. But I hope you enjoy reading about my past, present, future, and any IO psych ramblings I have (cause you know I’ll have a lot).

I’ve spent today reworking some areas of my Lit Review. The only problem with doing this is I keep finding new and interesting rabbit holes that apply to my topic...I mean, it’s fine since I was 10 pages shy, in the first place, of the 30 MINIMUM page count...but, I’m afraid I’m going to get on a role and go over the 50 MAXIMUM page count....

Where technology takes us... possibilities are endless. The only thing I could think of when reading this article is about what that meant for the state of our declining culture of customer service, client facing and interactions. These advancements are great but data is continuing to make its way in and people are making their way out. 😭 Is this a result of customer service issues, or interest in innovation and shopping experience? This venture can help brick and mortars, but how many brick and mortars would be able to afford the updated features. Things that make you go hmmm 🧐 and at C.Wonder we thought giving the shoppers the opportunity to customize their fitting room music was cool... and it was! 🙌🏾#fashionretail #retailtherapy #fashion #retail #therapy #alibaba #guess #customerservice #design #innovation #cx #shoppers #retailbusiness #business #chinesefashion #iopsych #industrialdesign #organizationalpsychology

No Matter the Speed
“It doesn’t matter how slowly you go—so long as you do not stop.” ~Confucius
You know, ever since I graduated college back in 1802 (lol), I’ve had this belief that I should be following the same path as my high school classmates and collegemates. For the last umpteen years, I have felt “lost” (from majoring in one thing, changing to another, and adding another) because I haven’t truly decided who I am or what I want to do. For most of my young life, I thought my path was to go in one direction; thusly, I prepared my brain, my academics, my life for that particular way of life. When it didn’t turn out that way, I have felt like I wasn’t sure WHAT I was supposed to do in or WITH my life. Then seeing friends starting careers (some lucrative), getting engaged/married, starting families, and here I was, per usual, sitting on the sidelines. Like I was waiting for a bus to pick me up and take me to my destination.
So over the years, I have considered various careers—medicine, psychology, law, business. I didn’t want to truly pigeon hole myself into a typical, lower-paying gender-typical occupation. Plus, I like challenges. But as I lack a lot of confidence in my abilities, I never could truly pinpoint what I would be good at, what would satisfy me, what I’d get enjoyment and fulfillment from. It often remained a mystery. And yet, I was pushing and pressuring myself to “make a decision quickly” because “time is passing you by!” I felt like I had to decide on SOMETHING, but WHAT?!
Well, recently, and almost quite comically, I “rediscovered” an area that I have circled back to almost as many times as I have changed my mind on industry. Prior to graduating from university, and getting close to earning my second bachelors (this one in psychology), I had learned of an area of study called Industrial & Organizational psychology. I knew I could NEVER be a counselor; the woes and troubles of another would eventually wear me down and break me. So, read up a little more about this particular field and realized it piqued my interest.
Although I had found a school that was one of the best for this field—Bowling Green State in Ohio—I chickened out because “I can’t take the GRE! I’ll surely fail!” So I passed on that field like an idiot. Instead, I graduated, went through paralegal school, prepared to go to L school, but NOT before getting my MBA.
Well, after earning my Masters, and having completely forgotten about I/O Psych, I was lost as to where I was going to take my business degree. Again, asking myself, WHAT am I actually good at? For a brief while I considered marketing. In my clubs at university, I was always the one doing the marketing/advertising (making flyers, contacting people, etc). Also at this time, I was getting into Nascar, so I thought, “HEY! Why not SPORTS MARKETING?!” So I enrolled in another masters program, this time for Sports Management and Administration (basically a sports MBA). I moved out to Charlotte, North Carolina, but to no avail. This is one industry that you REALLLLY need to “know someone who knows someone” and I didn’t. So once again I felt lost, confused, stressed, depressed…you name it.
At this time, ironically, I revisited the general concept of I/O psych—management consulting. How cool would that be to NOT run a company but tell those who do how to do it better?! LOL I got books, helped out a friend with his mobile app company, but still lacked the confidence. [Besides knowing that most management consultants work for Boston Consulting Group or Deloitte or some big name firm like that, because they went to a top-tier B school, something I didn’t.] So I thought, well this isn’t going to happen, either! Nothing I plan for tends to work out! How am I ever going to get on my feet and actually START living, start a career, not worry about finances. At this point, I had maxed out in student loans, which were starting to loom over my head. Like THAT didn’t add to my already stressed mood about life.
So I tried to figure out what else I could do. Since I couldn’t go back to school (no financial aid!), I KNEW I needed to utilize my business degree SOMEHOW. I was forcing myself, AGAIN, to figure this out, “JUST PICK SOMETHING, DAMNIT!”, but I had no clue. I KNEW I wasn’t good with numbers, so accounting, finance, and investment banking and stuff wasn’t for me. I liked marketing, but I honestly HATED the actual tediousness of the “research” aspect. At the time, I wasn’t into Human resources, primarily because I don’t like being interviewed, so I didn’t want to deal with interviewing someone else. (I know, stupid). So I was at a loss. HOW can I use my MBA?!
Enter Amazon. Yes, Amazon. The global monopolizing retail giant. (haha) I started working at a sortation center in Concord North Carolina in May 2016. My initial thought was, OMG I f**king hate this job. (It was PT, and the work was laborious.) But seeing all the different roles, learning all I could, I started seeing options that I had never considered before. While promotional opportunities haven’t presented themselves, a lightbulb started to shine for me. And lo and behold, it was something I had revisited various times in the past several years.
Enter Training and Development. This was the stepping stone for me. I started getting excited about creating, designing, implementing training programs. At Amazon, I had trained many fellow associates in various aspects of our warehouse—problem solve, sort slide, smalls, customer returns, etc. While I had always considered myself NOT “teacher quality” (and I don’t think I could teach younger humans), adult learning is different. So I began to consider this possibility. It legitimately piqued my interest. I have bought books, have been studying online courses. I even looked up T&D on Wikipedia (one of my go-to sites!) And surprise! T&D is a faction of Organization Development. And surprise AGAIN, Org Dev is a subfield of, wait for it, Industrial & Organizational Psychology. Imagine my astonishment that, YET AGAIN, I returned to what I SHOULD HAVE done after graduating from university.
So, I’ve been researching programs, and while I have no financial aid, there is one that I can make pretty reasonable monthly payments (I just need to find me a better job). Long story, short (too late for that!), I guess it goes to show that although we FEEL that we need to follow a set, ordered or sequential path in life—go to college, get a job/career, get married, have kids—we can’t give up on what we want in life. As long as we eventually get there, we should be proud of ourselves, proud of who we are, whom we’ve become, and how we got there. Each of us has a different path; we can’t compare ourselves and our possible evident “delays” to another’s. Our path is ours alone to travel. Sure we will make or have made mistakes. Certainly, we lost sight of our end game, but if we pay attention, we will see we will always be directed back to that “right” path eventually, as long as we keep trekking. Somehow, someway, we will get to where we are going, regardless of the speed of our journey.

“What is I/O Psychology?”
If you’re an I/O psychologist, or anyone who works in an obscure field, you get this question ALL the time - I can’t even count how many times I’ve had to explain to my parents over and over again what I/O psychology is. And let me preface this post with: we. are. not. just. HR. (the response of “oh you’re just a glorified HR” has hit me one too many times)
I’ve thought about how best to describe I/O psychology a lot this year after I volunteered with LPS (Letters to a Pre-Scientist). This program matches scientists with young scientists (or even non-scientists) as pen pals for the school year. One of the hardest parts of the program for me was explaining what we do to a young student. The best I had was: “I do research to help people be happy at work.” - was this the best explanation? Probably not, but it was the best I could come up with at the time.
So what does that mean really? Let’s get into it.
I/O psychology, or industrial/organizational psychology, is the application of psychological principles, theories, ideals, etc., to the workplace. We use science-based practice to understand different human experiences at work: teamwork, engagement, productivity, performance, leadership, and all that jazz. Because we are so versatile in applying what we know and do to all different areas of the work experience, I/O psychologists are employed in all different types of settings to do very different types of work. So, when people asked me what I’ll do in my future or what jobs I/O psychologists do, it’s not an easy answer.
In my own experience I have two different areas where I’ve worked in I/O psychology: (1) as a graduate student, I’ve got the academia experience and (2) in my internship and job, I have a very specific applied experience. I
In academia, I/O psychologists do a lot of...you guessed it...RESEARCH! Most I/O psychologists in academia spend a large amount of their time coming up with new research ideas to solve workplace issues and conducting that research. However, research in academia is not always free or easy! Many academics spend a substantial amount of time writing grant applications looking for money to fund their research! Another thing they do is attend conferences and possibly do talks and presentations for companies or other universities. All in all, it’s all about their research!
My job in the applied world is much different, and it’ll be very different from the next I/O psychologist’s. I was hired into my company to focus on people insights and measurement - mostly a fancy way to say I focus on employee surveys, analyzing the surveys, and pulling insights from them. I get to design and execute a lot of HR and even non-HR employee surveys and develop dashboards in order to share data with people who may not be able to interpret the data as easily. I give my own insights based in my I/O knowledge as to why we are seeing the results we are getting from surveys and what it means in the big picture (insights!). This data is normally used to improve work processes and create a better employee experience at the company (aka - make employees happy at work!!).
This has been enough rambling for a Sunday night after watching a day’s worth of football (go cowboysss! - phew today’s game was a doozy), and now throwing it back to watching some Hannah Montana (please don’t judge me). I’ll get more into I/O topics and jobs in future posts!

Do you have to deal with "people issues" at work? Do you wish you knew more about why these happen, and how to manage them better? Our podcast tries to answer such questions by interviewing experts in organisational psychology.
For example: Where, when & why do workplace bullies bully? Why do some of the best workers burn out? Why do interviewers so often pick the wrong candidates? How do workplace attitudes and values affect practical things like safety?
Hidden amid the noise of management fads and self-help gurus is a field of scientific study and practice -- called organisational psychology (or #IOPsych) -- that focuses on people in the workplace. This field offers fascinating and valuable insights into why "people issues" happen at work, and how we can manage them effectively.
MIND ON THE JOB is a podcast in which organisational psychologist Dr Ben Searle (🐥@drbensearle) discusses these issues with experts from research and practice. The podcast is available through iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/mind-on-the-job/id1234129009?mt=2) and most other podcasting apps. Subscribe and keep up as we launch new episodes! 📻🔊
Episodes available so far include:
1: I/O #Psychology, #HR, & Workplace Excellence.
2: Workplace #Bullying: How Can We Discourage It?
3: #Burnout & Wellbeing At Work: How Should We Manage Them?
4: #Assessment for Selection: Insights Into Effective Hiring.
5: Climate & Culture At Work: Why They Matter & How To Change Them.
6: Terrific #Teamwork: Designing, Coaching and Assessing Teams.

Inclusion #PSA
ATTENTION :
#CEO's, #BusinessOwners #Leaders #HiringMamagers here is an example of why it's in your best interest to make a conscious effort to hire #blackwomen.
If you can't fathom that someone in her shoes would have this type of attitude and be so focused on encouraging others, then you really need to hire more of us. Because this is how many of us have learned to survive the disparities and lack of equality we experience while continuing to #BeTheChange.
