...powerful and persuasive spokesperson... |
 |
|
"I heartily recommend Dr. Donna Allen to you as a speaker on the topics of wellness and positive psychology. She is a powerful and persuasive spokesperson for the art of health promotion and wellness. Dr. Allen is a bundle of energy with an ability to uplift and inspire her audiences that is unsurpassed by any other speaker I have ever heard. In her engaging style she shares life lessons and personal experiences with the goal of bringing out the very best qualities in people. Her presentations are both informative and fun. Her real gift lies in the creative use of exercises and experiential tasks to illustrate basic principles of optimal life functioning and how to access one's higher self for improved performance and life happiness. Some are good at preaching the message of positive psychology without exemplifying it in their personal lives; Dr. Allen's life is a personal testimony to the transformative power of positive emotions and as such she is the embodiment of purposeful, passionate living. Perhaps most importantly, she has more kindness, compassion, and love in her little finger than most of us have in our entire bodies. I therefore recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation."

Her work in this field demonstrates the power of resilience and is promising to employers and corporations seeking to improve quality of care and reduce the rate of growth in health care costs.

... rooted in positive psychology, meaning and purpose... |
|
|
"As a restricted membership medical scheme for the financial services industry in South Africa, our dedicated management team was seeking an innovative approach to wellness that would shift our perception and that of our members and employer groups from a traditional medical insurance focus to one that would offer a value based, revolutionary concept to significantly impact the wellbeing of our members.
Donna Allen and Troy Adam's workshop explored a paradigm shift to wellness that was all-encompassing, strengths focused and value based. Our team was inspired by the possibility of applying their concepts with our own in a manner that was rooted in positive psychology, meaning and purpose. We realised that true change could not be achieved by focusing purely on clinical and cost based factors.
Thanks to the legacy and inspiration that Donna and Troy left behind, our team was able to embrace the concepts into our wellness strategy for 2009 in a way that will ensure our members know and feel that we care."
