"How do I begin to explain the gift of spending time with Allison Massari? You had the audience member’s heads and hearts from the moment you began to speak. Heard nothing but rave reviews as folks were leaving the event. Our president was (and still is) OVER THE MOON with joy because YOU were our Keynote Speaker. I suppose everybody says these things after an Allison Massari experience.”

“You were simply outstanding! Brilliant!”
“As you know, our Bridge Conference attendees are fundraisers who are mission focused and work hard every day to raise funds to fulfill their organization’s mission. So, when we are identifying a closing keynote speaker, we look for a person who will inspire, motivate and encourage our attendees. After 3 days of a steady diet of learning best practices, industry trends and innovative ideas in fundraising and marketing, your presentation was the absolute perfect closing!
Your talent for storytelling… your passion… and your authenticity touched the core of our audience. In our very digital world, where people are connecting more via electronics – you connected to the audience with your heart. As fundraisers, they see a lot of hardship everyday – and your story of triumph gave them hope. I must believe that your profoundly genuine story of overcoming a major life-threatening trauma will help many of them re-commit to their mission, to continue diligently working to save lives, save animals, save the environment, etc.… i.e., to continue to make a difference.
On a personal note, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and hope that we stay in touch. If you are ever in the DC area again, please, please do reach out to me.
You inspired others to triumph over adversity... helping others to make the world a better place. Well done!”

“Allison Massari, you moved the group attending Craneware’s Financial Performance Summit to their very core - gave all of us a special piece of you. We belong to each other now.”
“‘Shine like the sun,’ said Allison Massari, our keynote at Craneware’s Financial Performance Summit yesterday afternoon. Her powerful story illustrates that we leave a little piece of ourselves with every person we encounter - let that piece be kindness, caring, mercy.”

“She was mesmerizing while telling her story. Her presentation was absolutely amazing.”
“Allison was incredible. She is one of the kindest, most gentle souls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. As I do with all our functions, I am continually looking around the room to see how the audience is reacting to the speaker. Thursday night, I have to say, was a first for me. As I gazed around the room, every person in the room had their eyes on Allison. There was no phone usage or talking to their neighbor, not one person got left their seat for the entire presentation. She was mesmerizing while telling her story. Her presentation was absolutely amazing.”

“A long, well-deserved standing ovation.”
“Allison Massari delivered the keynote address to over 1,000 people at our annual event. She captivated the audience for 45 minutes. No one made a sound other than in reaction to her incredibly inspiring story. Allison is a survivor of a horrific car accident. As a visual artist, she used her skills to take the audience through her journey in a playful, pointed and creative way. Projections of her unique art illustrated her insights, emotions, and resilience. The healing she experienced, and now shares, deeply affected the audience which recognized her with a long, well-deserved standing ovation. Allison is a beautiful person with an incredibly important perspective on health, happiness and joy. All who are fortunate enough to hear her speak will forever be grateful for the opportunity.”

“When I began our journey of looking for a keynote speaker I never thought my life would be touched forever. I knew speaking to Allison on the phone prior to our conference she was different. She had a calmness around her that made me feel like she was a perfect speaker who is truly the spokesperson for triumph over pain. From the moment Allison began her presentation I was so moved and inspired. Allison shared that the simple acts of kindness were the things in her journey that made the real differences. These are things we can practice on our own lives each and every day.”
