Happiness is the Foundation for Greater Impact with Alissa Quinn

In this inspiring episode of "Get Your Happy Back," host Nina Lockwood is joined by Alissa Quinn, a seasoned financial advisor and international award-winning ballroom dance enthusiast. Alissa shares her personal experiences, from her idyllic upbringing and career progression to overcoming unexpected life challenges, including a battle with ovarian cancer.

Alissa reveals her secrets to reclaiming happiness through a holistic approach which includes self-care, meditation, healthy nutrition and community engagement. She emphasizes the significance of spiritual connections, embracing diversity and inclusion, and the profound consequences of forming "impact circles"—supportive communities that focus on mutual growth and well-being. 

Alissa Quinn has been a trailblazer in the wealth management field as one of the few women advisors to emerge in the late 1980s. For the past three decades, she has served as Senior Vice President/Financial Advisor of the Quinn Wealth Management Group, receiving multiple accolades and awards. Her motto is “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” 

Alissa believes in the value of making a difference for others as demonstrated in her creation of several “impact circles”: one for executive women in business, a second for professional women prioritizing parenting, a third for women leaders touched by cancer and a fourth for women navigating life transitions. Her forthcoming book, The Power of Impact Circles, documents her experience and provides a roadmap for those wishing to create their own impact circles.

Alissa was inspired by her parents to become a ballroom dance enthusiast. As an optimist, Alissa has learned that “taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it’s a cha-cha”!
