“My work is a celebration of the power of the human spirit. I provide truly unique tools for self-mastery and self-leadership—to alleviate burnout, elevate company culture, and definitely choose to shine your light no matter what is happening to you, or in the world around you.”—Allison Massari

In today’s shifting workforce, the role of leaders has changed dramatically. Employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention are top priority, along with the consistent strain from regulatory pressures, board and stakeholder demands, and needing to do more with less.

Additionally, leaders are asked to assume the role of coach, mentor, friend, motivator, and career counselor while simultaneously maintaining an executive presence with clear vision and direction. With keen insight and appreciation for the challenges faced by leaders today, Allison teaches the mindset to successfully manage adversity and lead with heart—while addressing the personal side of their leadership and the everyday challenges of being human.

This dynamic and poignant program provides innovative leadership lessons that invigorate and fortify participants to be able to tackle their work with newfound vigor and expansive thinking.

“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 and Company

Allison’s life-changing healthcare keynote illustrates the fact that every healthcare professional—including those who do not have direct patient contact—have a crucial impact on person-centered care. Passionate about tailoring her keynote to address the specific issues affecting each audience, Allison has worked with diverse groups within healthcare including: Leaders, Physicians, HR, Nurses, Finance, IT, Environmental Services, Laboratorians, Diagnosticians, Pharmacists, Physical Therapists, Insurance, Pharmaceutical Sales, and more.

By specifically recognizing the ways that their work is directly tied to a human being, Allison generates a deeper connection to the patient experience for each participant. They learn that their expertise, attentiveness, and devotion improve the health and success of patients while boosting their own sense of well-being and directly affecting the bottom line.

This groundbreaking and uplifting program can be offered for CEU’s, and receives exceptional feedback.

Allison’s unique ability to support healthcare clients with employee retention, time restraints, alleviating burnout, and everyday stresses is evident. She consistently receives exceptional praise from her clients, as in this recent testimonial: “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, US Oncology Network

“The power of what you do goes far beyond the technical part of your job. You are healing the places medicine cannot touch. In fact, YOU are the medicine.” —Allison Massari
