Transforming Lives: The Heart and Soul of Health Care

At any moment, life can throw turmoil in our direction—uncertainty and unrest from changes at work, the shock of sudden financial loss, an automobile accident, serious illness. What does it take to be ok inside of ourselves no matter what? Allison’s journey, delivered through the art of storytelling, reveals that we can discover untold amounts of strength, joy and aliveness when we learn to embrace our challenges in a new way. Allison states, “In the fullness of true resilience you don’t just survive—you become a better version of yourself on every level. You become a force of light for yourself and others.” With vision, clarity, and compassion, Allison teaches audiences the potent life lessons that she learned on each step of her path after she was severely burned in a fire and faced seemingly insurmountable odds. Her riveting keynote boosts confidence and well-being and offers a balm of hope as she intimately shares the nuances of how to respond to difficult circumstances and maintain personal command and integrity despite life’s disruptions. You’ll receive a new perspective from which to see the world and walk away with effective methods to handle challenges and move towards your dreams and goals with courage, purpose, and the strength of an open heart.
