Uplift Your People — Uplift Yourself — Be the One℠


“We can each defiantly choose to bring goodness into the world, no matter what is happening. Instead of waiting for the WORLD to give us what we want and crave….. We can make the decision to GIVE what we want to RECEIVE—To Be the One.”
— Allison Massari

Activate a Buoyant Aliveness and Inner Vitality for your Work and Life.

Company culture has never been more important. It is a key driver of success for both individuals and businesses, and is a tremendous differentiator in the marketplace—attracting clients and employees and setting the stage for long term business profits and growth.

Your people define the identity and uniqueness of your company. 

According to Gallup polls, when people feel aligned with their company culture, they perform better. Managers view a candidates' connection to the culture of equal importance to their skills and experience. 

In today’s hyper-evolving world, if you want to retain top talent, combat burnout and turnover and succeed on every level—make your work culture so good people don’t want to leave.

An exceptional company culture creates a work environment where:

  • People feel engaged, supported, valued, and trusted

  • They experience a sense of purpose and impact in their work

  • They feel genuine care within the workplace

  • They can grow professionally—in their knowledge and skills

  • They are in alignment with the greater mission of the company

The best work culture starts with inspired leadership. Allison Massari’s groundbreaking keynote boosts confidence, celebrates genuine care and new ideas, and stimulates empathic leadership. Hiring Allison signals to your people that you are investing in each of them personally and professionally, and that their happiness and well-being is valued and is a part of your culture that you celebrate.

As Allison explains in her stunning presentation, heart-led leadership is also about self-leadership. When each individual recognizes their own vital role in the work environment and the success of the company—they are taking charge of their culture and radically transforming their experience of their work and life. Through Allison’s encouragement and the profound lessons of her speech, each person is ignited to be a force of light for themselves and each other. 

"Yes, we want to empower people to feel their autonomy and dial into their gifts and contributions as individuals… AND we want to pull people in—to feel a sense of community, a sense of loyalty—to feel genuinely connected to others and to their work. There is a deep satisfaction in going beyond oneself as an individual and feeling part of a team."—Allison Massari

“I can honestly say that after 20+ events in the last 8 years we have never had such a positive reaction from our attendees. Allison has an incredibly intelligent and artistic way of presenting her emotional story.  From the moment she said hello, she had the undivided attention of everyone in the room.”
“Her delivery was exceptional and unlike any I’ve seen before, as she has an amazing ability to appeal to the audience’s multiple senses and emotions.  Would we hire Allison again?  Absolutely!  But I think we’ll have a very hard time finding availability based on the reaction of the meeting planners in our audience that wanted to book her for their upcoming events.”

“What’s the lesson? Plain and simple—it’s the little moments in life that have the greatest impact and you never know what little moment is going to change the world, so you better be prepared for it. …If you had been at Centricity LIVE, you could have seen the three-minute standing ovation that Allison got after her talk yesterday.

“When we opened the TEDxZaragoza conference with Allison, it was like dropping a bomb… Her work is so thorough, so careful. Every sentence, every comma, every pause, the pronunciation of every word, are doubly, triply checked and pondered. It is plainly counterintuitive that the result is so incredibly emotional despite this infinite attention to detail. Yet it is. As I later said to her, “It is a great power to be able to make people laugh and cry in only 18 minutes. How does she do it? My guess is that one of the secret ingredients is to tell exactly what you think, to show what you feel… to actually feel it on stage! It is very different from the careful work of an actress, who strives to convince that she feels something which is not there. Allison’s only aim is to accurately and intensely communicate what she actually feels… and the laughs and the tears in the audience confirm that she achieves it remarkably.”
