Allison Massari Reviews

  • “You were OUTSTANDING! We have been talking for years and years about the need to address burnout with our physicians and pharmacists, yet, frustratingly, we did not know what to do and we have never done anything about it. YOU just DID!! Thank you so much!”
    McKesson - Mar 04 2024

  • “Powerful! In 25 years in Financial Services I’ve heard countless keynotes and I cannot recall a single one that moved me the way Allison’s did.”
    Global Investment Firm Ranked 57 on the Fortune 500 - Feb 15 2024

  • “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… when the entire room rose to their feet in a standing ovation, it 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.”
    Eli Lilly 2019 - Feb 15 2024

  • “SO SO AMAZING Allison. Everyone loved it so much. I’m getting amazing feedback. Thank you once again! We are so thankful for the experience working with you!"
    Microsoft 2023 - Feb 15 2024

  • “Your bravery is astounding. You are completely AMAZING!! Thank you for your insightfulness! Thank you for your courage! Thank you for giving us energy and hope! You are without question brilliant like the very sun.”
    Capital One 2022 - Feb 15 2024
