“Hi Allie, my favourite speaker of all time. : )
I sincerely love what you do. Thanks for sharing and impacting on my new peeps this year. They absolutely loved your talk…who wouldn’t right!
You played and danced to the hearts of the Playfulls, fired up and further empowered the Powerfulls, filled notebooks with tasks and details of the Precises and sprinkled further peace and tranquillity over the Peacefulls. You were, as always, awesome.”
Rick Arnold

“Attendees rated the seminar “excellent” overall and rated your presentation as “excellent.” You were in fact the highest rated speaker at the seminar.
We appreciated your talk which attendees described as brilliant, well delivered, to the point and easy to understand.
Attendees did say they could have listened to you for much longer, so we will have to remember that for next year.”
Leeanne Templer, Events Manager, NZ Society of Local Government Managers (SOLGM)
Central Normal School
“I am a teacher aide and was in the Central Normal staff group you spoke to on Thursday morning. I have literally just finished reading your book. I found myself chuckling away as I recognised myself in your many descriptions and I feel like my eyes have been opened with frequent “oh wow!” mind-blown moments.
I really appreciate having had the opportunity to hear you speak which has helped me develop some understanding of myself and the people around me. I expect your book will be used as a bit of a reference guide for those times I feel I just can’t connect with someone!
Your style of communication is fantastic and you obviously read your room brilliantly. I enjoyed your story telling because real-life experience is so much easier to relate to than theory. I think that must have been one of the most enjoyable learning experiences I’ve even had!“
Andrea, Central Normal School

“We have had so much fabulous feedback. The team and the clients just loved you and your message. You are a fabulous, super talented and stylie dynamo”

Plastics New Zealand
“Your presentation ‘Pressing the Right Buttons’ highlighted that if we better understand ourselves and our colleagues we can transform relationships and create high performing teams to deliver on growth and business goals. As such, it built on our Conference theme perfectly. Equally, in this challenging time slot, you entertained us with your energy, passion, and humour. I wanted attendees to take away from the Conference some real gems that they could apply in their own work environments and I am sure the tool you presented will be at the top of their list”
Ken Sowman Nigel Donne PNZ Business Manager
Arbonne
“Hi Allison, I was in Sydney and attended your amazing presentation with Arbonne Australia. I have been meaning to write to you to thank you for an incredible presentation. You are an amazing presenter, you had me (and all of us) from your first word and had my full attention throughout. It was funny, informative, and most importantly I learned valuable tools, which I have applied not only to my business but to my social circles and marriage as well! In fact my family and I were away with four other families over Easter and it was the topic of conversation. Everyone was so interested in hearing all about it. You are one very clever lady! So I just wanted to thank you and hope one day our paths cross again. I wish you well.”
Sharon Muscet, Regional Vice President – ARBONNE INTERNATIONAL
“Allison, I just wanted to send you a little note to say it was an honour and a privilege to be a part of your amazing training at our VP leadership meeting in Sydney. I learned so much from your talk and I will be putting it into action both into my personal and family life as well as my business. It has allowed me to see more clearly the different people within my organization and once I have read your book I am excited to start training this out to my team.”
Amanda Wilbanks, Executive National Vice President – ARBONNE INTERNATIONAL
Dental Assistants Network Day
“Allison, Thank you for your amazing presentation to the Dental Assistants at our DA Network Day. Your name still comes up in the lunch room! A testament to how welcome and timely your message was shared with us. There is a discernible shift in the dynamics of our team and if I had to put a label on it, I would call it ‘respect’ for the way we operate as individuals. But even more than that, with this new regard for each other, some people are doing unexpected and exceptional things. This is probably not news to you, but I am certainly in awe!”
Carol Bennett Dental Assistant Oral Health Unit

Allie, I would like to again THANK YOU for a great presentation. It was both informative and entertaining. I have had great responses from the staff as well.

“As General Manager of a hospital with approximately 1100 staff, Allison’s reputation preceded her and her performance was such that I am now under pressure to have her back. Three days later, I can still hear staff laughing and talking about the time they listened to Allison – I am confident the effect will last. She has lifted some low spirits, brought orange into our place and provided some valuable skills for us to use amongst ourselves, with our customers and family – THANK YOU. Funny – very much so, great speaker – absolutely. Thanks to her our spirits are higher, our steps a little more bouncy and we have engaging relationships “

Thank you.”
