Corporate coach Allison Clarke was on a plane to Atlanta when she
realized that in order to fully live, she had to first be
surrounded by death. Sounds strange, doesn't it? Not to Allison: a
fearless mother of two who built her own consulting firm from the
ground up. To Allison, it felt like a challenge, and as soon as she
got home, she met with a funeral director. Her idea was simple:
attend the funerals of exceptional strangers and learn from their
adventurous lives. It began with the newspaper. She read countless
obituaries, looking for people who interested her. It didn't matter
specifically what they had done. Her thirty funerals ranged in
scope from basketball fan to hundred-and-four-year-old Austrian
immigrant. What mattered was the effect they'd had on the lives of
their friends and families. Once the choice was made, Allison
donned her black dress and headed to the cemetery. Some people
might scoff at this behavior. However, when Allison thought back to
the funeral of her own grandmother, she realized she would have
been proud to have strangers there -- proud to tell them, "That was
my grandma, and she was amazing." In the end, Allison attended
thirty funerals over the course of sixty days. At each, she learned
a little more about living life to the fullest ... and what is life
if not lived bravely, passionately, and with heart? Allison Clarke
is the founder and president of Allison Clarke Consulting, a
