What Lens Are You Seeing Through Today?
Everything Changes When The Lens Changes.
Listen to the Audiobook
Narrated by Alaina. Listen to a sample or get the full audiobook below.
Listen to the AudiobookYou have multiple degrees. A framed certificate on your office wall. Twenty years of being the most prepared person in the room and one of the last to be heard. You have practiced your face in your car at 7:51 in the morning. You have watched your idea come back to you in someone else's mouth, and smiled, and helped them sell it. You have been told you have too much executive presence and not enough — in the same career, by different people, neither of whom could tell you what either phrase actually meant. You have read the leadership books. You have done the therapy. You have done the affirmations. And you are still tired. You are not the problem.
Simple. But Not Easy. Can You See Me? is more than a leadership book. It’s an invitation to see what has been shaping the way you see yourself, others, and the world all along.
Written by a leadership expert with more than thirty years of experience and the unique perspective of a certified, accredited hypnotherapist, it offers something rare: a path that reaches beyond conscious awareness to the place where unseen lenses quietly influence our thoughts, beliefs, decisions, and relationships.
Because affirmations alone may not reach the control room.
Therapy alone may not reach the control room.
Insight alone may not reach the control room.
The most powerful tools can only create lasting change when they reach the place where those unseen lenses were first formed.
Inside, you will meet Elaine — a brilliant Black woman doing the math in her parking garage at 7:51 in the morning. You will recognize her. You may even know her by another name. Your own.
You will learn:
* the invisible glasses you didn't choose to wear, and where they came from
* why the armor that kept you in the room cannot take you the rest of the way
* where your deepest beliefs about yourself were shaped — and why change begins there
* what becomes possible when a brilliant woman finally stops performing and starts leading from her whole self
Meet Alaina.
When companies need their leaders to actually change — not just learn — they call me.
For 20+ years, I’ve been the trainer that companies like Toyota, Morgan Stanley, Delta, Allstate, and Abbott bring in when their people need more than another slide deck. I’m a mindset coach, certified hypnotherapist, and Amazon bestselling author. My leadership book Simple. But Not Easy. Can You See Me? is available now. I’m also the founder of M-Power Management Group and EnterPeace.
My work sits at an unusual intersection: corporate training meets the subconscious mind. Most leadership programs hand you new behaviors. Mine change the beliefs underneath them — because the behaviors don’t stick until the beliefs do.
I didn’t come to this from theory. I came to it as a twice-divorced mom of four sons who had to do the inner work to rebuild a life I actually wanted. That’s the work I now do with executives, teams, and individuals — and the message is the same in every room: you are good enough, you are powerful, and you get to choose what comes next.
That's the work. Let's get into it.
These high powered attorneys had a BLAST in my class!

the Facilitator
The best training doesn’t just teach new skills. It changes the way people see themselves, each other, and what's possible.
For more than thirty years, I’ve partnered with organizations to develop stronger leaders, healthier teams, and more effective communicators. From emotional intelligence and conflict management to leadership, customer service, communication, and human performance, my workshops are practical, engaging, and designed to create lasting change long after the session ends.
I believe every result we produce is filtered through the lenses we wear. That’s why I don’t just teach new skills. I help people recognize the beliefs and perspectives influencing how they lead, collaborate, communicate, and perform.
Whether I’m facilitating a keynote, leading a workshop, or consulting with an organization, my goal is the same: to help people think differently so they can lead differently.
Because when we change the lens, we change what’s possible.
Inside my training rooms, leaders have:
• Laughed, cried, and had breakthroughs they didn’t see coming
• Built real skills in Insights Discovery, emotional intelligence, executive presence, communication, and conflict mastery
• Done the work beneath the work.
The best training doesn’t just teach people what to do. It helps them see what has been influencing what they do.
And yes — sometimes there’s singing. Sometimes there’s dancing. Because the moment people stop performing and start choosing is the moment the training actually works.

Keynote: Can You See Me?
The Invisible Lenses Shaping Leadership, Performance, and Human Connection
We all see the world through invisible lenses shaped by our experiences, beliefs, and the stories we’ve been telling ourselves for years.
Those lenses influence how we lead, communicate, build relationships, handle conflict, and even how we see our own worth.
In this powerful keynote, Alaina McMurtry challenges audiences to examine the lenses they’ve been looking through all along. Blending more than thirty years of leadership experience with the unique perspective of a certified, accredited hypnotherapist, she helps people understand why insight alone isn’t always enough and why lasting transformation begins when we finally see what has been shaping us.
Audiences leave with more than inspiration. They leave seeing themselves, each other, and what’s possible through an entirely different lens.
Spoiler: You don’t need fixing.
You need reminding. I got you!

At EnterPeace, I use the power of hypnotherapy to help you reset your mind, release limiting beliefs, and rebuild confidently from the inside out. My voice alone will relax you—but the real magic happens when we go deeper.
Through guided relaxation and subconscious reprogramming, I help you:
- Quiet the overthinking
- Let go of old stories that no longer serve you
- Reduce anxiety and emotional exhaustion
- Reclaim confidence, clarity, and calm
- Create space for joy, rest, and renewal
Whether you’re healing from, divorce, corporate politics, burnout or just tired of surviving on autopilot, EnterPeace is a safe space to return to yourself.
This isn’t surface-level wellness.
This is real mental reset, deep emotional healing, and a powerful shift toward who you’ve always been—before the world told you otherwise.

What My Hypnotherapy Clients Have to Say
"She created a sacred space and helped me zero in on a goal. My three favorite things about the session were: the imagery she used for the visualization, the calm and nurturing tone of her voice, and the clear commitment she has to uplift others."
~Sue Van Zante-Peiser, MSW
"Alaina talked through a picture in my head and this has stuck with me. Every time I feel my confidence dipping and the fear rising up, I go back to the picture she painted in my mind and I’m able to bring everything back into perspective."
~Kimberley C.
"I had a MAJOR breakthrough today regarding my unconscious blockage to weight loss. So now that I’m consciously aware of the positive and negative FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, AND EMOTIONAL BEHAVIORS, I can associate/disassociate them by consciously making “healthier” choices with MY OWN LEADERSHIP over spiritual and physical FOODS.
I’M TAKING BACK MY POWER OVER MY BODY NOW!!!!"
~Anissa L.
Why Hypnotherapy Works at EnterPeace
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that accesses the subconscious mind, where deep-seated patterns and self-perceptions reside. By guiding you into a relaxed, focused state, we can reframe negative thought patterns and instill empowering beliefs.
Research supports hypnotherapy's effectiveness in reducing anxiety, enhancing self-esteem, and promoting lasting behavioral change. For instance, the Cleveland Clinic notes that hypnosis can assist in managing conditions like depression, panic attacks, and PTSD, as well as chronic issues such as insomnia. Additionally, a meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Medicine highlights hypnosis as an effective treatment for pain, anxiety, and insomnia, often with fewer side effects than pharmacological interventions . Other notable publications like Time Magazine promote hypnotherapy too.
Clients often report feeling more grounded, assertive, and aligned with their true selves after sessions.
Whether we meet on a conference stage, in a workshop, or in a hypnotherapy session, my mission remains the same:
To help you see yourself more clearly than the world has ever allowed.
Because when you change the lens, you change what becomes possible.
You are powerful.
You are worthy.
And you get to choose what you see next.
Let’s build that transformation together.
