About Allison Massari
Hailed by Meetings & Conventions magazine as one of the top 10 best motivational speakers in the U.S. and repeatedly included on their list of “Best Keynote Speakers,” Allison Massari has established herself as a steadfast advocate for the potent power of compassion, kindness, and indestructible perseverance, dedicated to equipping others with tools to better manage their lives and become more grounded.
A successful entrepreneur, she created four successful businesses in 25 years, beginning with a thriving fine arts business and jewelry line, Massari Fine Arts, LLC, earning commissions from Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, General Mills and US Airways. With characteristic vigor, she launched her coaching and speaking career and within 18 months, she was invited to give a TEDx talk on The Future of Happiness and shortly after was voted the “No.1 Rising Star in Speaking” by the National Speakers Association.
Massari found peace, purpose and happiness after overcoming two extraordinary personal tragedies. In 1998, she survived a 60 mph car crash, after being trapped, burned alive and conscious the entire time. Three years later she was hit again at 60 mph and sustained a closed-head brain injury. She credits her determination and love from family and friends for her full recovery. Her inspiring story is one of 10 featured in the documentary film, ReSolve, acclaimed for its powerful message and focus on solutions to come through post-traumatic stress and successfully overcome challenges.
Now devoted to healthcare advocacy, Massari brings attention to patient-centered care and its relation to health care reform, as well as the impacts of compassionate care from various perspectives.

Testimonials
“I seldom am impressed by professional speakers enough to attend their sessions 8 times in 3 months. However that is exactly what I did with Allison. Her words were simple yet penetrating as if I had never heard her before. She makes you realize how powerful and long lasting a simple kind word, a warm smile, or a caring gesture can be. I have seen her bring her audience to a wholehearted laughter and even tears and that is not an easy feat for any speaker. I never got tired of listening to her.”
