“I watched as the entire room rose to their feet in a standing ovation. Her work is phenomenal, and life altering."

"I can’t tell you how many keynotes I have sat through with this company, and I have never seen the crowd so affected. As I looked around the room, the audience was overcome with emotion; riveted, gasping in response at times, welling up with tears at others. As Allison closed… the entire room rose to their feet in a standing ovation, another first for this group. Allison was able to show up with exactly the message we needed to hear. I watched afterwards as executives came up to her one by one sharing how they had been touched personally. I don’t believe there is a group who could sit before the pure magic Allison brings to a room and not be forever changed.”

“An absolutely scintillating presentation! …It was my hope to reach the personal level of the audience, to engage them in a meaningful, internal way, and your story, your art, your words, were incredible, and set the tone for a fabulous conference.

“A Harvard professor, Daniel Gilbert, in a fascinating book, Stumbling onto Happiness, discusses the fact that often the anticipation of an event or meeting is not met by the actual event... which often disappoints. In the case of the ICSI Colloquium, he was wrong. While I had great expectations for your message and presentation, the actual event exceeded the highest of those expectations. As I held back the tears in my ears, noted the choked sensation in my chest, felt the inspiration exuding from your powerful words. I felt a powerful surge of feeling which I knew was being replicated across the audience. It was my hope to reach the personal level of the audience, to engage them in a meaningful, internal way, and your story, your art, your words, were incredible, and set the tone for a fabulous conference. Saying thank you for a wonderful presentation seems inadequate, but it was an absolutely moving, heartfelt, and powerful moment… THANK YOU!!! There, I shouted it.”

ICSI Colloquium

“If you are looking to have a motivational speaker who can not only hold your audience rapt with attention, but at the same time leave an inspiring message, I would highly recommend utilizing Ms. Massari.”

“I am writing on behalf of Allison Massari and her very strong and moving message of motivation. Recently she spoke at the RIMS Global Annual Meeting in Philadelphia and addressed the global risk managers in attendance with a theme that resonated to all. My role with RIMS (Risk and Insurance Management Society) as Vice President allowed me the honor of being able to speak with her one on one, and the passion and energy she radiated came thru both during our conversation and as she addressed our audience. Many times we engage motivational speakers in an effort to teach and educate our attendees on risk related situations and how to overcome them. Ms. Massari related her experience with both warmth and sincerity, while at the same time, driving home the point of “moments in time” that are measured by seconds and can make the difference between life and death. Our audience was very receptive and appreciative of hearing not only of her personal issues, but how it relates and extends to all of us to one degree or another in the risk management profession. If you are looking to have a motivational speaker who can not only hold your audience rapt with attention, but at the same time leave an inspiring message, I would highly recommend utilizing Ms. Massari.”

Robert Cartwright Jr
Vice President
Risk Insurance Management

With her gracious spirit and gentle voice, she took our 2,500 leaders Hackensack Meridian Health on a breath-taking journey through her story that left them uplifted, tear-filled and reconnected to purpose in a way that’s difficult to describe.

Allison is effortlessly compelling and soulfully authentic as she speaks directly to your heart, reminding you that we are here on this earth for each other.

Yes, Allison left a memorable dent in our universe—our brand-new organization that aspires to humanize health care. Her words, her energy, her unmistakable presence reminds me of a Flavia Weedn quote:

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.”

I am so grateful that many of us at Hackensack Meridian Health now sport Allison’s footprints on our hearts and will never, ever be the same.”

Chrisie Scott
