“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.”— Pablo Echinique, TEDxZaragoza Co-Organizer & Scientific Researcher at Spanish National Research Council
"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."— Farogh Nazari, Head of Global Accreditation at Siemens
“My job enables me to see world class speakers quite frequently. Truly, I have never been as moved by a story as I was by yours."— Jennie Pauling, Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager at Wells Fargo Asset Management
"If you had been at (GE’s) Centricity LIVE, you could have seen the three-minute standing ovation that Allison got after her talk yesterday."— Justin Steinman, Vice President and General Manager at GE Healthcare IT
“I have seen and secured many keynotes in my marketing roles, and Allison is a rare treasure. She had the entire audience of executives completely engaged in her every word. She is a master storyteller and the way she delivers her profound message with immense grace, poise, humor and charm is life changing. It is difficult to put into words how deeply her message of kindness and positivity impacts those who hear or meet her. We received rave reviews from our audience and would give her the highest recommendation possible. She is a remarkable person, presenter and artist! We also use the term ‘the Allison effect’ around the office to help us stay positive.”— Becky de Tenley, Client Marketing Manager at SAS
