Audience & Client Feedback on Allan

I actually messaged my 19 year old son immediately after this session! I have overcome childhood trauma of attempted assault by my step dad, overcame opioid addiction and alcoholism and I was moved deeply the entire time. I am copying my text to my son exactly as it was. Thank you so much and I will share your book with my son-who is diagnosed with bipolar disease and recently came out. “The keynote speaker that I just saw was about overcoming addiction and other kinds of trauma. When I tell you I was shaking and sitting next to my boss, trying not to cry. Hahaha! Man he was one of the best speakers I have ever seen!!! “

Allan has a very compelling and inspirational story. We just got home from the conference and today we already used something that Allan shared. One of our employees called off and sounded very down. We called her in the afternoon to check on her and through asking some questions she revealed she had tried to commit suicide the previous day! We told her she was very brave for sharing (like Allan said to do) and said we were here to help and just listened. She was so grateful and we will be checking in again on Monday. Had Allan not shared his experience, we may have handled things differently.

Allan is a tremendous inspiration bringing meaning, power, and hope to own the courage for surviving mental health struggles and to strive hor healthy outcomes. The courage for self and also how to show up for family, friends and others who may be struggling and how important it is to give them an olive branch. I have seen you before Allan and think you are the most amazing person for inspiring hope in others. I wish I could purchase a video to share with my three sons.

Super engaging, everything Allan said is so true and raw. Makes you take a look inside and to try deal with your issues and feelings. By the end of the session I was in tears. Thank you for sharing I can relate to so much of what you said. Thank you. I went through breast cancer a few years ago the most difficult challenge in my life and I truly found out how strong I was. Thank you for believing in me and everyone on that call.

This session was HARD because of my own personal experiences. But it was helpful to hear the messaging, and see that Allan has come through his hardest days. This gave me hope for my own situation. Allan was able to bring a hard topic to light while adding some well timed humor to lighten the mood. In looking around the room you could tell the topic hit many, as their faces gave away the fact that this was impactful to many.

Allan was phenomenal! I resonated so deeply with his story and his presentation. I was moved by Allan's passion for speaking truth, as I am a truth seekers and I am also passionate about speaking the truth. Allan seems to have a strong understanding of how the Universe response to our thoughts and feelings. He was a joy to listen to and I definitely would love to meet Allan in-person someday!

Was an awesome opportunity to open up and reflect on who I am, how I feel, and relate to the stressors in my life. I took away skills to help me to take the baby steps needed to help give myself more love and feel more comfortable and safe both in my own skin, and in dealing with others. I would highly recommend that if you get a chance to hear Allan speak, to take the time to do so. You won’t be disappointed!

Cathryn Scott

I did not have any expectation when I registered for this event, turned out SO GREAT. I agree with what you said that guilt and sad are the underlayer of anger issues, and I am happy you mention about God. We live in a world where not many people acknowledge about His presence in our life, thanks for mentioning that, truly happy to watch and listen to your story, pass my greetings to your family. Merry Christmas!

Attendee

It was wonderful to hear from both sides of the relationship where someone is suffering from a mental illness. I loved that Allan and Tanya alternated in speaking to discuss how they dealt with the highs and lows. So often the caregiver is in the shadows and they set their own needs aside. Very informative and very relatable! Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal message!
