Instant Energy & Room Transformation
We have been coordinating quarterly events for the past 18 months and have never received such incredible feedback from our members, who included people in the room and many groups livestreaming in from over twenty ‘event hubs’ across the State.
Amanda presented at a conference recently and from the moment she stepped on stage, you could feel the room burst into energy. Positivity was the word and Amanda had everyone entertained and engaged right until the end. Amanda even had them (over 500 pax) singing and hugging as they left the room - amazing to see! The momentum of her presentation has changed perceptions here in the office (for the better) and we are continuing to benefit from her presentation. 100% recommend!
The impact Amanda had on our attendees was truly remarkable. Her message of joy, connection, and authenticity resonated deeply with everyone in the room, creating an atmosphere that was both uplifting and transformative. She is a rare speaker who combines substance with inspiration. She doesn’t just deliver a keynote, she creates an experience that changes the energy of an entire meeting. I would highly recommend her to any event organizer seeking a speaker who can move hearts, energize minds, and leave a lasting impression.
When this woman has finished speaking, people leave feeling amazing!
Amanda is absolutely amazing! I’ve attended a variety of international events over the years and Amanda is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The levels of energy & excitement she generates from the crowd is something I have never witnessed before. I would especially recommend Amanda to kickoff or close a conference starting or finishing on a high.
Amanda Gore, you are an inspiration! Verosol has never had a sales conference like this one. Despite all of the laughs and metaphors, your messages were very clear and hard hitting. Success in business is strongly influenced by people and how they interact together. Amanda, your session set the scene for one of the most successful conferences we have ever had. Thank you so much.
Amanda was retained to conduct a half day workshop for all managers of the Asia Pacific business in line with our Regional conferences theme of ‘People with Passion’. The agenda was to help increase self-awareness as a route to create happy and more engaged people. Amanda has the amazing ability to connect with many people at the same time enabling them to embark on a journey of self-awareness and transformation. She is able to provide both the science and the spirituality behind ‘why we are who we are’ and equip her audience with the tools to make change. All this is done with a brilliantly engaging style that endears her to one and all. Truly inspirational speaker who is also a wonderful human being!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Amanda, this is just what I needed and what my sales teams needed! You are definitely ‘right on’ and I thank you for these important words. Once again, YOU made a difference in my life!
I was lucky enough to experience Amanda at a conference I attended years ago. She blew me away and since then has been one of the most memorable speakers I have seen to date. I watched her shine as she brought them back to what really mattered, JOY. We had so much fun and through it learned more about life and what it really is all about. Thank you Amanda, as always you are a much needed STAR in this ever changing world of ours.
Amanda Gore single-handedly turned around the climate of our school district in a matter of three hours! She is an awesome, highly energetic speaker, and I recommend her without hesitation.
Amanda Gore was an inspiring, uplifting, informative delight that our members were discussing the entire remainder of the meeting. I cannot impress upon you enough how well she was received. Amanda’s presentation was the most audience-inspiring performance we have ever witnessed. I would extend my highest recommendation to Amanda Gore.
When Amanda Gore was suggested as a speaker for our sales meeting, I had serious doubts. What could a woman with a physiotherapy background do with a male-dominated, demoralized, fragmented capital equipment sales team coming off a bruising competitive year? We’ve used every type of speaker in the past, from star athletes to big-name motivational speakers. Inch for inch, pound for pound and dollar for dollar, Amanda Gore was the best speaking investment we ever made!
As co-creator of the Conscious Club we have had some of the world’s great orators grace our stage. Amanda Gore is easily one of the most talented and charismatic speakers I’ve seen. She is truly captivating and delivers a profound message that marries leading edge scientific research, comic genius and crowd participation like you’ve not encountered before. I can’t recommend her talents highly enough. Amanda is a national treasure!
One word . . . AMAZING! Two words . . . DAMN ENERGETIC! I have just returned from Filex, where Amanda opened the presentation with the most incredible presentation. And incredible on so many levels. Her pitch was exactly right for the attendees. Her words, her mannerisms and her content was a perfect match. Building instant rapport and putting everyone at ease. It was obvious she listened to the prior speakers and wove their message into her key note. A powerful skill but one in which attendees would not have been aware of. I am 100% sure they would have thought it was part of her presentation. Her stage presence had everyone totally engaged. The obvious depth of her knowledge in the subject matter, allowed you to sit and enjoy. It was both educating and entertaining - true edutainment. If you need a speaker to spark the internal flame with your team, then you cannot go past Amanda Gore. She is no foofer!
Audiences who heard Amanda more than 2 years ago still talk about her and use principles from her presentations.
I’m just sorry I waited so long to book you for a meeting. Only once in a rare while does a speaker come along who actually affects real change from their 90 minutes on stage. You breathe that rarified air!!
Amanda is one of the best motivational speakers around. She is attentive to the particular group she is speaking to, making her presentation relevant to everyone. She can be trusted to deliver.
Amanda Gore is AMAZING! She spoke at my recent Achieve Results corporate professional development day in Sydney and she 'wowed' the room! Amanda is our Speaker of the Year and when you book her, you'll see why! Amanda shows you how to live a joyous, healthy, functional life in the most unique, interactive and engaging manner. She's one of a kind! If you want to bring out the best in yourself and others then you must book Amanda Gore.
Amanda wowed them as the opener. She was funny and upbeat and my client said the participants used her terminology all week long and they loved the “magic wands” and used them all week.
I was particularly impressed with the afterglow that I observed for the rest of the day AND the next day. It was a shared experience. You are inspirational which is such a fine gift, and I appreciate you sharing it with us.
A thousand thanks to you. You were a huge hit. HUGE. I have to tell you in our closing video you received the biggest yells and claps.
It was great fun and certainly helped me and my friends and colleagues finish our conference on a high note! I even got teary at the story of Amanda’s mom leaving her the note with hearts on it.
Your address was quite honestly, the best we have ever had. What you do must be exhausting, but you are very, very good at it! Keep spreading the cheer.
Your presentation to the TCUL group was ‘a little over the top’ and that is exactly what was needed. I personally think you would be worth every penny.
I do believe Badgerland Farm Credit Services employees have a happier gait to their step these days after our Summer Conference, thanks in large part to your presentation.
The session was a complete success and set the right tone for the ensuing three days. Everyone is saying that the meeting was the best ever.
It was a pleasure meeting you at the EDS Global Sales Conference and your message was spot on. Well done! Simple yet so powerful.
Amanda’s depiction of the importance of the heart and the dramatized dialog between the brain and the heart left everyone clearly aware that we put ourselves in peril by an overzealous lifestyle. Amanda is outstanding.
My boss can’t stop talking about it. The attendees loved Amanda. Everyone was ‘zoot, zoot-ing’ all weekend. Thank you so much for convincing me to keep her.
We enjoyed your talk at the Elite Retreat. Your energy was felt by everyone and what a great way to finish the conference.
Believe me there aren’t that many speakers that I have found who make an impact on people in such a positive way. That is what makes our friend Amanda a real gem!
I am such a fan of anyone who breaks away from the standard, acceptable negativity that seems to surround us all. Way to go!
Thanks so much, it was really amazing to watch you get our people going, you are truly gifted!
We’ve just had Amanda Gore and she will be very hard to beat. She was perfect for our ‘public employee’ audience.
Just a note to let you know that I really enjoyed your presentation at the ATA Nuts & Bolts Dinner. I was laughing so much I was almost in tears.
I loved how you took intelligent concepts and broke them down to the simplest terms so that we all could understand the importance of living out loud.
That program, and programs like yours, are a great support and I appreciated seeing your presentation again, but nothing like the live one!
This was, by far, THE BEST presentation from an outside speaker that I have ever attended (10 conferences), and your enthusiasm and positive attitude have been embraced by me to help me stay focused.
It was fantastic to hear your talk as you entertained all of us at Birmingham. WOW! I feel so enlightened and enthusiastic.
My sister and I were there and have been to many conferences and seminars, and we both said yours was BY FAR the best we have ever attended!
I have to say you are the most dynamic speaker I have ever seen.
I had heard it was possible, but until I saw a room full of Presidents linking hands and whistling through ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have actually believed it.
Thank you for the most fabulous, energetic, informative, creative and inspiring presentation that I have ever witnessed. Your energy is contagious.
Amanda’s presentation at our Front & Centre Speakers’ Series was the 10th of 12 speakers we have featured. We have hosted celebrities, psychologists, adventurers and authors. All of our speakers have been entertaining and motivational in their own way, none though have been as dynamic as Amanda.
I have just arrived home after attending your ‘SPECTACULAR’ presentation put on by The Williamson Group in Brantford, Ontario. You truly are an inspiration.
So here I am in a room full of people I don’t know, laughing and giggling. You are a person who believes in my #1 rule: have fun at whatever you do.
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful presentation you provided to us today. I enjoyed your approach to life and have to admit that it was easy for me to participate in all your activities.
Incredible presentation. Your material seemed familiar enough, but as the French highly value the ‘presentation’ of a dish, your ‘presentation’ made all the difference. We need to stop and listen to you Aussies!
I’ve never bought an MDRT video, but I am buying yours. If you need a letter of reference, I’d be glad to write one. I read your entire web page and had my staff read it too.
I saw Amanda's presentation in Las Vegas at a HFMA conference and was enlightened and entertained like none else has. She has great energy, insight and a message for everyone. I would truly recomend her program for any audience or event!
I heard you yesterday in Philadelphia. Thanks. You woke me up again. By the way, I am proud to be a Tigger.
You sure pack a lot of energy into a small package! You had a very positive effect upon many of the individuals in our audience. If you ever need a positive reference, I would be more than happy to offer it.
You did a great job with our group and I really appreciate the energy, knowledge and skills that you conveyed. Your reviews were very positive.
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the two sessions and appreciate the positive messages that you conveyed. You were a great success and we were very pleased.
Loved Amanda at the recent Home Interiors Seminar in Nashville, TN!
Not after a day with you. I am still walking around in a supercharged state. I appreciate your talent and enthusiasm, and all the work it takes to pull off such a dynamic seven hours.
Loved Amanda at the FDR Conference in Orlando last week. Will use her video to try to put some life and energy back into the directors and associates in my organization.
I just wanted to thank you personally for speaking at our retreat in New Orleans and presenting to us the best motivational speech I think exists! You ‘broke’ through to so many.
This afternoon I had the pleasure of watching a video of your appearance at our National Conference in Nashville. FABULOUS! You are an excellent speaker. I know you made a significant impact on those who were there.
You gave me back my shining shoes. I consider myself an ENERGY GIVER all the time. You helped me teach someone at the conference that it is OK to reach out. KEEP ON POLISHING OUR SHOES!
Your recent presentation at the Biennial Conference for Women was the highlight of the conference. Your lighthearted approach was the best medicine! I haven’t stopped talking about your wisdom.
I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoyed your program at Disneyland! I am thrilled to have been able to purchase a magic wand, I can’t think of a better prop to take to Board meetings for that much needed occasional comic relief.
Amazing is about the best word that comes to mind about Amanda. She had the entire audience up on their feet oohing, aahing, zooting and everything else in her presentation. CACM loves Amanda.
I had an opportunity to hear Amanda speak at the ICMA conference in North Carolina. I enjoyed every minute of it and hope to bring some of her ideas to my organization.
So sorry I was unable to sit in on your session but I’m getting nothing but raves! And some of the attendees are walking around with their wands. This was a super way to kick off our conference.
I was privileged to see and hear Amanda at the GSA SmartPay Conference during the U.S. Bank general session. She was awesome, but I am sure you hear that all the time!
As always, Amanda, you amaze me with your insight and humor. Thank you for such an insightful message.
Great show at last week’s ERC! I’ve already sent a magic wand to my new best friend.
Just wanted to let you know... we had such a great time with you! Our employees loved the message, the delivery, and most of all, the fun! You brought the sparkle back into our eyes, and left us with a message that will last a lifetime. It was just what Brooks needed.
You were a hit! People have raved that this conference was the best ever and you contributed to that success. You have earned another referral. Thank you so much!
Thank you! You were fabulous! There was a lot of positive discussion afterwards, especially on the golf course where we found ourselves doing a lot of ta-da’s. I will keep you in mind as other opportunities arise.
We had Amanda kick our conference off, and she made the difference between a good conference and a GREAT conference. Amanda’s message and the tone she set carried through the next two days. I would recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to invigorate their staff.
I was part of the audience at the TD Canada Trust event you spoke at in Banff. I found you absolutely inspiring! In my many years in the financial services business I have never been more impressed or moved by a speaker. You were excellent!
A lot of speakers will huff about happiness and what not, but I especially enjoyed the way you presented the facts of heart conditions and factual statistics from your field in a truly entertaining manner. We were zoot-zooting the whole way home on the plane.
I was one of the 5,000 lucky educators to hear you as a keynote at the Learning Renaissance National Conference. Your talk really reminded us of the things that are truly important. We returned to work with a smile on our faces, and we owe it all to you.
I greatly enjoyed your presentation. I use a certain amount of humor in my daily life with students and staff, and I would love to add your magic wand to my collection of delightful tools for getting attention.
If I had gone to nothing else but your presentation, the trip would have been worth it! I felt as if you were speaking directly to me, and you and I were the only ones in the room. You are in charge of your attitudes.
I attended the IFMA World WorkPlace conference and was fortunate enough to participate in your presentation since you made it clear from the outset that it was not a spectator sport! It gave me great joy, and you gave me more vehicles on how to express the love and gratitude that I feel every day.
Amanda had everyone on their feet her level of motivation and joy is unbelievable - It was the perfect way to kick start our event - We will definitely have Amanda again - The guests have raved about Amanda non-stop, she absolutely brought to our event an early injection of energy that set the tone for the remainder of our days to come and provided many learnings that our attendees are already implementing on a daily basis. Amanda & Mel were so wonderful to liaise with, I wish we could do it all over again. Thank you both
The US DSA had the pleasure of having Amanda Gore back for an encore presentation for our opening general session at our Annual Meeting. Amanda first spoke at a DSA conference years earlier, where she and Dr. Phil both delivered keynote presenters. It was Amanda's words of wisdom and advice on changing your thinking that were the buzz of the conference then, and that was the case again this year. Her brilliant lessons had a positive impact on the audience that continued throughout the two day event. Evaluations reflected it was one of the most successful events we've delivered in a few years, much thanks to Amanda's kick-off.
Our audience loved Amanda's message and energy. She helped make our nursing conference a great success.
As a member of the board for The Maine Women's Conference I was a part of a team responsible for selecting Keynote Speakers for our annual conference. It is a daunting task but early on Amanda was quickly at the top of the list of favorites. After months of vetting potential speakers Amanda was chosen and she did not disappoint! Our attendees were delighted, engaged and most important, educated on how to find more JOY and success in their lives. Amanda appealed to attendees of all ages and backgrounds because of her honest and humorous approach to being human. Bottom line, her performance lent even more credibility to our event and our board and I cannot thank her enough.
I was part of our company's organising committee for our annual Sales Kick-Off event. We hired Amanda as a motivational speaker and she did an oustanding job. Her message was inspirational, humourous and memorable and the feedback I have received from the team on her session was fantastic. I would reccomend Amanda to anyone with a similar requirment for their teams.
I have seen Amanda's presentation and was absolutely uplifted by her ability to engage her audience through her wit, good humour and most of all fantastic and informative content. Can't wait to see her presenting in the future.
We used Amanda's brilliant motivational video's in support of our wise women, at We Wise Women. At midlife and beyond women often find they need to reinvent themselves. Amanda has a very special way of sharing the reality of situations that can be confronting to us but in ways that make us realise we are all in this together. Instead of feeling isolated in our experience we can come to the realisation that others are going through similar confronting experiences and so start searching for the innate resilliance within ourselves. Amanda's humour makes this journey safe. Amanda is one of a kind - A brilliant kind.
I hired Amanda a couple of times for the purpose of energizing a large and global audience of senior executives and CEOs. She is absolutely fantastic, full of energy, focussed, and keeps the crowed fully engaged for the entire period. Her sessions are typically filled with laughter, audience interaction, and a general feel good atmosphere. The crowd also leaves the session with a clear direction on what the need to do in order to improve their personal skill sets. I highly recommend working with Amanda.
I have seen Amanda speak on a number of occasions and you can rely on her to reaise the energy in the room and leave you inspired and re-purposed. I am a fan!
Amanda is one of the most generous people on the planet - her effervescence, energy, and enthusiasm she gives freely to those around her. Happiness is infectious and Amanda's commitment to sharing joy on is inspiring. How fortunate we are to have such a woman - to continually remind us that life is short and that our well being is the corner stone to happiness. When this woman is in a room - people leave feeling amazing
I first met Amanda well attending a function for top producing GM Automotive Dealers. I was so impressed I had her come to our annual staff retreat the next year. In front of our over 250 strong team members she discussed everything from brains to bowels and all parts in between. We even learned a little construction along the way by understanding how to build bridges to get over it! I would whole heartedly recommend anyone looking to get there team motivated, reinvigorated or just loosened up from the daily frustrations to enlist Amanda at you next function.
There is an old saying in which I think perfectly describes Amanda for me: "People forget what you SAY, people will often forget what you DO however people will never-ever forget the way in which you make them FEEL". And after her unique and inspiring presentation, Amanda will make your audience FEEL great as she takes them out of their comfort zone in order for them to think about how they can be happier and more productive in life and business.
Amanda captured our audience with her wit, her insightful concepts and her ability to engage and connect on so many levels. It was great to have a speaker who could meet our needs in such a unique and entertaining way. I would recommend Amanda highly.
Fresh out of a session Amanda facilitated with my finance team and the feedback from the team is fantastic. Amanda skillfully and engagingly reset the attitude of the whole team in one morning. Pure mastery at work. Looking forward to keeping the joy going with the tools Amanda left behind. Thanks and zoots.
Amanda did an amazing job presenting to our regional branch teams. I think she's the most authentic and inspiring speaker that i've worked with. She speaks from the heart and mind - she uses humour so effectively to pass along serious messages and she radiates joy leaving behind a strong and more vital team. a real joy to work with.
Synchron was honoured to have Amanda Gore open its national conference in Hong Kong and she did so with such skill and energy that she set a standard for all subsequent speakers to follow. Amanda's engagement with our delegates was first class and the message she had resonated and was repeated throughout the entire conference. It is easy to see why Amanda is regarded by many (me included) as Australia's premier international speaker.
I was fortunate to see Amanda present at an HR Conference in Toronto and also to witness the collective response of a few thousand in the room who were clearly as moved as I. She gives you truth wrapped in humour and her message reaches the whole audience while also giving that "something" extra which makes the message just for you.
Wanted to write a really big thank you for presenting at our conference! The feedback has been amazing. Really important content presented in such a fun, engaging, translatable, wonderful way. We have had many many comments and follow-up emails of stories of how people are now igniting joy in their clinics. Thank you thank you.
We love Amanda! She is a vibrant and energetic presenter who captivates and engages her audience for the duration of the presentation. Amanda left a lasting impression on our staff who have embraced her philosophies and have created 'Joy Spots' across Australia. I would thoroughly recommend her as an inspirational speaker and she would in my opinion appeal to a wide range of audiences. Zooties!
Amanda is a leading authority in Occupational Health and Wellness. She provides wonderful concepts in positive business communications and managing stress. I higly recommend Amanda's materials as it will benefit your your organization as it has my clients. Thank you Amanda for your entertaining approach and easy to learn concepts.
The most engaging and entertaining speaker I've had the fortune to experience....believe me it's an 'experience'. Amanda has a unique take on life and all it's challenges, she'll have you zoot zooting before you know it. Miss the opportunity to 'experience' Amanda at you peril....
Amanda is very detail oriented and a pleasure to deal with . I would recommend Amanda to anyone who has a company or person who needs motavation .
I was lucky enough to be at an industry conference recently where Amanda was presenting. Wow what a great session! With a delivery and timing any stand up would envy her thought provoking message was always engaging. The crowd hung on her every word and heartily followed her lead through a series of hilarious interactions with the person beside them. Her infectious and vibrant style left a truly joyful, poignant and lasting impression on all there. I’d run, not just walk, to see her again.
We had Amanda deliver an amazing keynote at our annual retailer conference and the feedback we received was incredibly positive and a real highlight of our agenda. Thanks again Amanda!
From the beginning Amanda had everyone in the room engaged and involved in an energetic and fun presentation. Within moments interaction between everyone was occurring setting the scene for an amazing convention. Amanda's presentation Dynamic, Fun and extremely Valuable.
I originally watched this phenomenal speaker deliver an incredibly engaging presentation on YouTube, it was Amanda Gore. I knew as a speaker that having a great coach is paramount and I knew that person had to be Amanda. Working a year with Amanda, was such an amazing experience. Her level of expertise, experience and knowledge is unquestionable. I improved immensely as a speaker, with a presentation that has enabled me to continue to get paid to speak. I would thoroughly recommend Amanda, as a speaker, coach and all around awesome person.
Amanda is a fantastic motivational speaker. Not only does she keep the audience entertained and excited but more importantly there is take-home value that is not only worthwhile but lasting
If you wish to learn how to be a PUBLIC SPEAKER and to be coached Amanda is the one...she will blow your socks off...she is humorous to the core. Isn't that the way to connect with your audience? Listen to her and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend her if you are ever looking for a SPEAKER.
Amanda had the hardest gig: last session on a Saturday in a two day conference with hundreds of sceptics - all lawyers! She wowed the crowd with her energy and enthusiasm as she explained how a positive approach to life and practice would make them better lawyers. And she convinced the sceptics with her evidence-based examples woven throughout the presentation. We wore our gratitude glasses home!
Amanda Gore is simply one of a kind. Her high energy, highly entertaining presentations have enthralled audiences both Australia wide and overseas for many years. A stalwart in a very tough industry, where many come and go, Amanda's presentations never fail to energise and educate people from all industries. A lovely lady who will make you smile :)
Amanda Gore was by far one of the most popular guest speakers at The Coffee Club International Convention. Amanda blew us all away with her extremely entertaining, encouraging and motivating speech presented in a fashion that only Amanda Gore can do! Still to this day our staff members are quoting her quirky sayings around the office and in turn mirroring the positiveness that was associated with her presentation. Amanda has such a zest for life and is very passionate about her work which was reflected not only throughout her presentation but while she was hosting our prestigious awards evening. She managed to capture everyones attention and filled the room with laughter as well as many other emotions. It was quite amazing to see all of our delegates arm in arm singing “Always look on the bright side of life” I don’t know how she did it, but she did, if the opportunity to use Amanda Gore ever arises again I would have no hesitation in doing so.
I had the pleasure of attending a conference session run by Amanda at the National Rewards Group Conference. Amanda led the final keynote of the conference and in the space of just a few short minutes had a group of (mostly) stuffy remuneration experts leaving their self consciousness at the door. Amanda has a great style that is based on solid research but is both engaging, funny, entertaining and extremely insightful. She is able to achieve rapid shifts in attitude in large groups through her unique style! It was certainly an enjoyable and memorable experience!
Amanda is one of the top speakers in the world - and the reason for that is that she connects with people's deep emotions. If you ever have the opportunity to hire Amanda, she will be the highlight of your conference or meeting. Amanda has also taught be how to be a much better speaker myself with her generous coaching.
I was blessed enough to see Amanda present at our customer MBE Conference recently in Sydney. This was the 2nd time in the last 6 years that I had seen her work. Amanda is engaging, energetic, passionate and above all very authentic. Her take aways still continue to resonate with me and her passion is electric.
It's hard to find a more engaging and memorable keynote speaker for a conference than Amanda. Her comedy and intelligence combine to present your conference message in memorable ways. Amanda researches your topic area and your audience to ensure her presentation hits the mark every time. She is wonderful!!!!
Amanda was the last speaker after a three day conference and a gala night for 200 people. Amanda made an amazing positive impression on our team. Her contagious energy and insight built a thought provoking, energetic & incredibly funny conclusion to our conference. Everyone left energised with a smile.
Amanda is a captivating, inspiring and entertaining speaker. She delivers the right balance of light hearted stories entwined with some heavy facts about neuroscience, positive psychology, epigenetics, and emotional intelligence. I left her talk a better stronger person, understanding what I need to activate in my own life. I look forward to reading her books and hearing her energy charged presentation again.
I recenly had Amanda Gore on my radio program " Radio Improv - Joy in the moment " www.planetaudio.org.nz/radioimprov Amanda spoke of all the good we can do in the world and the many and varied ways we can access joy. To be in communication with another like mind and share the values of the virtues like gratitude and how they can powerfully work in our lives was wonderful. She is a naturally good humoured woman who has not lost the child like wonder and appreciation of her surroundings and the people in her life and this alone is very attractive to the universe! I was so pleased to be making the connection and to see another person living with the joy that is created from within. Her projects are a reflection of her heartfelt space and the contribution she is making to the planet !
The presentation Amanda provided was inspirational and informative - that fact that Amanda was able to create a feeling of small seminar out of an ampitheatre of over 2500 people was incredible. The energy in the room was electric - I will be looking for Amanda at my next opportunity!
I wish I had photographs of some of the things she was able to get our group to do, a group that is normally disinterested in anything not related to insurance. Our group picked up on the fact that while not directly related to insurance, Amanda’s discussion of connection, leadership, relationships and positive energy could translate into more business as well as enhancing our personal and professional lives. She was outstanding.
Your motivation, energy and enthusiasm were absolutely what we needed at the end of a very long 3 day conference. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I must say, I have received countless Ta Da’s from my peers and colleagues for putting on such a great employee meeting. Really makes one feel very good.
Congratulations on such a memorable presentation - it's an accomplishment to see so many corporates zooting each other. A first for me!
In a word, she was superb, funny, charming, engaging. She had the audience on the edge of their seats. I have been in association management for 15 years and I’ve never experienced anything quite like it.
A Sunday morning presentation immediately following a really big Saturday evening function is a tough gig at the best of times. Amanda Gore thoroughly educated and invigorated all 450 attendees with her lively and spirited presentation setting the tone for the remainder of the day. Amanda changes perceptions and leaves people much more aware of the impact they have on everyone around them. Great value. I would confidently recommend Amanda to any conference organiser looking for a big lift for their audience.
Amanda’s engaging presentation was the perfect way to end the first business day at our national conference. Thank you again for a stand out presentation. You're still the best!
Amanda took up my challenge of heading up day 2 of our Sales Kickoff conference. And after the year we had and the celebrations that ensued the previous night, that was no mean feat! I am very please to say that after Amanda’s Taadaa’s, EXCELLENT’S and Magic Wands, I had 180 enthused, vibrant and charged up salespeople. They left the session singing, smiling and even some were dancing!! The rest of the day was a high-energy and constructive session that I would never have imagined possible, she is brilliant! I have never received so many votes of thanks and expressions of gratitude for an event in my career, and I put a lot of that down to Amanda’s energy and smiley faces!! I even walked past the Melbourne Sales meeting on Tuesday and they were wearing their smiley faces and standing up yelling…‘EXCELLENT’ and they were replaying Amanda AGAIN!
Amanda is a gem, she not only connected with our 2500 delegates but she took them on a rollercoaster of laughter and enlightenment.
Amanda, we needed a high energy session to end a mentally tiring 2 day conference, and WOW, did you deliver!! The audience was jumping out of their skins leaving the conference and everyone was saying that it was the perfect way to finish the event.
It was a pleasure having you and ‘boy’ did you deliver. The initial feedback was great and we expect the same result on the overall feedback. The results will be sent to you in the next few weeks. On behalf of HRPA and our delegates, I would like to thank you so much for being a part of the conference this year. Your topic was timely and compelling, providing our delegates with truly cutting edge inspiration.

Lasting Behavior Change & Culture Shift
The best thing for our business was that we committed to four-week holidays, and grew those out to three months. I was 41 then, had just taken over the family business, and those sessions set us up for success. Tell Amanda that EVERYONE at BIG4 still talks about her. I am not exaggerating to say that every time we get together, someone will certainly mention something from her sessions.

It has been my pleasure to invite Amanda Gore with her message of Joy to speak at several business sales meetings over the past decade plus and I'll invite her again when the situation is right. Her message is entertaining, high energy, engaging, motivational, thought provoking, and behavior changing. Her powerful message is delivered with humor but sprinkled with science. Her presentation will be a highlight of any meeting. People will be talking about her message for days. The first time I heard her I learned how to ‘build a bridge and get over it’. It works
I met Amanda Gore when I was in the Speaking Industry. I can't recommend Amanda highly enough. Her message (always so succinct and very close to her brief) always addresses the theme, her delivery is spectactular - so fresh and different, her content is always on trend and her presentations make the audience laugh. Amanda is always the perfect speaker. I have now been saying for 20 years that Amanda Gore is the best female speaker in Australia - and that fact hasn't changed. She only gets better and more vibrant as time passes.
Pure passion! Talk about an individual who gets her audience involved from the moment she arrives on stage! We have had her at our organization’s convention two times now and people are still talking about her! This firecracker has the unique ability to transfer passion to her audience and touches them at their core. She ignites enthusiasm within a group that you could cut with a knife. The message she delivers is not only thought provoking, it is action oriented and one that will be carried forward far into the future. Now that is IMPACT!
Amanda provided a motivating, uplifting and unique presentation with a team of our high performers at an employee conference. Since then our high achievers have 'zooted', 'hugged', 'built bridges' and continued to 'live out loud. Her style of coaching helped highlight the importance of a positive attitude, sense of humour and self belief in achieving personal and professional success. I would certainly work with Amanda again in the future.
Amanda Gore brings a level of energy, enthusiasm, humor, and intelligence far above the conventional ‘motivational speaker’ you may be seeking for your next meeting. If you want to make your meeting memorable, and I do mean memorable (attendees are still talking about her presentation and message), and send people home on a high note, Amanda is the speaker for you.
I have attended many leadership events and heard many keynote speakers. Sometimes their message resonates for the moment, sometimes days. Amanda’s message changes you and stays with you forever. Amanda clearly did her homework before addressing our group. She knew our weaknesses and our strengths, our challenges and our successes. I recommend Amanda without reservation or hesitation.
Amanda is the type of individual who you meet just once but her influence lasts a lifetime. Amanda's energy and enthusiasm to inspire people is second-to-none. She has the unique ability to get business professionals to 'let go' of their pretences and enjoy the thrill of communicating and networking with each other in a collective effort to promote personal, business and leadership improvement. She is a brand in her own right and judging from the scores of recommendations she has here, you can only assume that ‘so many people speaking well of Amanda can’t be wrong’. Best wishes and thank you for your positivity and influence on all those around you.
Amanda's strategies for dealing with stress are easy to follow and her concepts on communication are excellent - I would recommend Amanda to any organization wanting to improve their organizations motivational environment!
Amanda Gore was like a breath of fresh air for our gathering. Her very honest and humorous presentation had even the most reluctant participant laughing, singing, dancing and giving virtual hugs to the people around them. Amanda’s messages really hit the mark with our audience and she has been the talk of our office for weeks since her presentation. We would have her back any time.
You rocked our world, Amanda. No one has ever had such a deep, lasting impact on our lives. You’ve given us a timeless gift.
As soon as you mention Amanda's name people say great things! She is a fantastic addition to any conference event. Her audiences rave about her, she makes them laugh, engages them every time. Many years after she has spoken to an audience they can still recall her presentation and content. I highly recommned her for your next major event.
Surprisingly, every member of my group who attended the speech came to work today with an exuberance and freshness I have never seen. I can foresee that it will quickly lead to much closer group bonding and overall performance improvement.
I have 10 Community Directors who have became Tigger Ambassadors but more importantly, benefited and continue to benefit from your messages and your enthusiasm that is catching.
You touch so many people’s lives in such a positive way. You have left a lasting imprint on the lives, and businesses, of two close friends.
You would be very pleased in knowing the impact that you have already made on the organization, from the zoot-zoot to the ‘waving index fingers.’ You will have helped each of us make lasting changes to our lives.
You made a great impression on the WPOers at the Washington Conference. People were zooting each other in the heart and telling each other to ‘get over it’ constantly after your presentation.
There are really only a few lights that truly shine brightly in the world, and you are certainly one of them! Please know that your one hour with us last night will leave a lasting impression and change lives.
Thank you so much for breathing life into our opening breakfast. We were ‘building bridges’ all week and zooted all over Jacksonville!
This morning the office was full of zoot, zoots, magic wands, and other Amandaisms. I’m worried an innocent civilian is going to stumble into the office and be inundated!
You would not believe the change that has come over our office. My coworkers are walking around with smiles, wagging their fingers to say hello, thumbs up and EXCELLENT. There are zoots flying all over the place, your presentation has transformed them.
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at the APWA Congress in Kansas City. I am using some of your suggestions in our department meetings already.
My principal loved your video so much that she loaned it to our superintendent who also was inspired. We used Live Out Loud for one of our staff development meetings and did it ever help to relieve the tension around here.
I have received lots of unsolicited positive feedback. At work, the teams are doing a lot of ’bab and GOI.’ And last week I did 3 great ’give yourself a tada,’ which may be the most important thing I can do with my team to let them know I think they’re great.
Nearly a month later, there has not been a work day go by that something from Amanda’s video taped session hasn’t made its way into our daily conversations. All of us who attended these sessions received our own ’Fun Fairy’ wands and a finger puppet which are both proudly displayed in most all of our cubes and offices. It was simply too much fun and too enlightening not to share with others.
What a joy to finally meet you, and now that I’ve seen you ’do your thing’ I understand why everyone’s so crazy about you! You should see this place today, sparkles everywhere, dancing District Managers ta-da-ing everyone in sight.
You were the BEST! The zoots just continue. Since the convention I’ve had people call me and end with ’zoots to you.’ I’ve had so many folks contacting me asking how to book you. It’s wonderful.
Thank you so much, Amanda, for your recent presentation to our retailers. The feedback has been so positive from everyone who attended - they really didn’t know what to expect - but left uplifted, refreshed and motivated. They are still talking about Joy Buddies, Sparkly Bits and other concepts two weeks later, so it’s definitely stayed with them! It’s been a really tough 18 months, and this has given those who attended a really great mindset to move forward. Impactful delivery, great messages, and you had people laughing out loud, reflecting, learning and even dancing. Just fabulous, thanks again.
Amanda Gore can be summed up in one word Amazing! As a keynote speaker she has the power to move participants from laughter to tears and back again. Her ability to tell a story and engage an audience is incredible.... I first saw Amanda speak over 20 years ago - her message is timeless and delivered through a prism of the here and now. We recently invited Amanda to be apart of our live event series - Balance by Deborah Hutton - Reconnect and from the feedback we received her keynote was for many of our participants live changing. We look forward to having Amanda at our events again and again.
Amanda has been a lover of blossoming people around her for the 27 years I have known her .. she has it down to a fine (and funny) art!
Having been Key Note Speaking, Training and Facilitating in many countries and for hundreds of Corporate Organisations around the world for more time then I am willing to expose in print, I have had the very good fortune to have worked with, watched, studied, model and even at times co-presented with some very remarkable presenters, communicators, entertainers and educators. Many of whom I stand in awe of and marvel at their gifts, their talent, their craft, their art and their indefinable magic. I am deeply grateful to them all. Of all of those people their is one name, one remarkable human being who has been there from the start, who very early on provided me with a new reference point for what is possible and has continued through her devotion to her craft to show me and many others a new way and another level of presenting and relating to audiences for us all to follow and aspire to. She is Amanda Gore. Amanda’s capacity to continuously explore, refinement, challenge, create innovative ways to not only get the information out, across and to make it memorable in a way that people are still making references to her work and key messages years later, is truly unique and remarkable. I know nobody, any where in the world who makes their presentation both exciting, energising, entertaining, emotionally captivating, universally relevant, deeply memorable and hilariously funny. Most of us mere mortals strive to get some of these features into our presentation. Amanda gets all of them in every presentation, every time! I know no one else who does that. She brings new meaning to the words “UNIQUELY TALENTED”. Amanda has this uncanny ability to take the hardest, most complex issues and present them in the simplest, easy to understand manner that makes it possible for every one to “get it”. Of the many things that I have observed and admired for years, the thing that stands out in my mind that Amanda does at a level I have not seen any one do, is that she will put a very challenging idea or request out to the room, she reads the response and then starts enunciating the objecting thoughts that are going through the minds of the audience. That is, she verbalises the audience mind chatter and you can watch the audience nodding their head and smiling, confirming that she has caught them out and the audience laughs at itself and then does exactly what she asks them to do. Absolutely remarkable! Amanda Gore is truly, in my mind the Presenter’s Presenter, a master at her craft and a very special and gifted human being who transforms people’s lives for ever. Her presentations last an hour, the effect lasts a life time.
Amanda has spoken at one of our major client functions as a key note speaker, and I have also been to other industry conferences where she has presented. Amanda is without doubt one of the best motivational speakers out there. She is very humorous and entertaining, and combines great structure and content, with memorable take home messages during her presentations. Our clients laughed very hard for the entire session, but also took a lot away from it personally, both from a workplace and relationship/life balance perspective. They are still talking about it. A person with great vitality, wit and knowledge, perfect for any type of conference or team building exersize, I highly recommend Amanda. .
Amanda's enthusiastic, energetic and optimistic approach to life is contagious. At the end of her presentation to our 80+ team of leaders there was a real buzz that lasted for the rest of the day and everyone was talking about how much they enjoyed the presentation. There were many Ta Daaa's and We'll Done - Excellent" comments made and I'm sure a lot of joy will be spread around the office for many years to come. I would highly recommend Amanda to any organisation looking for ways to improve workplace engagement and help their employees to approach both work and life in a more positive and joyful way.
I first heard Amanda speaking at a Conference when I was at the Flight Centre and when I heard she was to be a speaker a couple of years later at a Financial Conference I just knew I had to be there! More recently I heard Amanda talking to a group at the Knowledge Gym in Christchurch...and I knew again I was not going to miss it, come what may! And once again Amanda fullfilled my expectations. She had the crowd in her hands...she's full of fun and knowledge, has a wonderful way of putting across her message and breaks down people's barriers. Be prepared to be on a buzz, smile all day and to remember for years to come. ZOOTS to you (you need to listen to Amanda speak to understand).
I highly recommend Amanda. At our speaker event in Invercargill - New Zealand she had high energy, enthusiasm, inspiration and provided us with a lots of laughs. Years later, we still celebrate our "ta da" moments and remember your key messages - thank you Amanda - you are an amazing lady!
We recently had Amanda deliver a keynote at our end-of-year event, and she was outstanding. Amanda has an incredible gift for bringing energy and laughter into the room, creating an atmosphere that was both engaging and uplifting. The impact of her presentation was felt enormously. Her messages of connection and joy will continue to resonate throughout our organisation for years to come. Thank you Amanda!
Amanda was a motivational guest speaker at our National Administrative Operations Conference in our general session. Her sense of humor, props and topics of discussion had 500 people engaged from the start to finish. Till this day, 7 years later I use her props and inspiration to keep work fun and positive! A must see!
Thanks Amanda for making our Hobart Conference such a fantastic success. Once again you demonstrated your fantastic ability to engage, excite and ignite the audience. Everyone came out of your session on an absolute high - and this didn't just apply to our staff members, but also their partners! The room was just abuzz with energy! The fantastic message you delivered in the "Amanda" style was just the perfect keynote address and finale to our conference. We're still getting feedback about your session - it certainly has left an indelible impression on all our delegates.
Thank you for the most phenomenal session our conference has ever experienced! Amanda was Superb! Our conference attendees were singing her praises and using her techniques throughout the remainder of the conference, which was another 3 days.
Last night at our board meeting, each of our departments reported our status from summer to present. The first thing out of the Director of Maintenance's mouth was how appreciative he and his guys (and ladies) were for ‘The Speaker’ at the beginning of the year. (We say that like we say ‘The Pope’ or ‘The President’ here... LOL). Anyway, he concluded his report with how much he appreciated what Ms. Gore did for his department and the guys just wanted to say thanks. It was so AWESOME!
I don’t think the impact you have had on our organisation can be measured in any formal way. There are no metrics. It’s in the hearts of those who met you and the majority of them are still with us and waiting for you to come back to do ‘Amanda, The Sequel.’
You'll be very pleased to know that your wonderful gestures and sayings have really caught on in my own department. I also overheard someone else ask the other ‘What's the Best Thing that's Happened to You Today!’ and they are all learning to ‘Build a Bridge and Get Over It’ when things happen and there's no sense in holding onto it! I'm sure the same thing is going on in our sales offices across the US! You are a gift that keeps on giving! You were right...it has given them another language to use that connects them and puts laughter back into the workplace!
I had a workshop straight after the breakfast with some of our Statewide senior directors and the feedback was fantastic. One I have to share - we have this very cynical senior leader that had a powerpoint presentation to do - and he kept doing ‘tada’ throughout. At the end he was zooting everyone!! So in a nutshell, I think you made a positive impact in fact I KNOW YOU DID.
I can say unequivocally that as a result of your presentation, our people are not blaming others for this market; they’re dealing with adversity the only way they can … with grit, determination, clear goals, daily work activities … and a good sense of humor. Thanks for helping us all press our internal GO buttons!
If the ever was a time for me to take a Ta Da its now, and your presentation was definitely a crowning moment of our conference. The messages you hit were perfect, and I cannot believe the changes I am seeing in the membership and our team. One of my staff dropped into a pharmacy yesterday afternoon to find the Pharmacist in floppy ears and the retail manager wearing the perky version. Who would ever believe it!
Your presentation to our group was absolutely fantastic, and the background chatter about Wellness still echoes around the walls. The feedback from many of the delegates has been absolutely overwhelming. In choosing the theme, I simply thought that it was very important to all of us - and for such an important theme we simply needed to have the very best presenter available.
Amanda is the consummate professional, uniquely equipped to capture an audience's attention, motivate change and lift their spirits. Having hired Amanda to open the National Convention of Australia's third largest real estate network, our members can't stop talking about her. They've adopted her turns of phrase, engaged in further discussion with each other using social media and are out there making a difference. What more could we hope for? Thank you Amanda. You lift our spirits and make our hearts sing!
Amanda provides thought provoking content and important self-care strategies, delivered in a way that the audience finds hilarious. I have seen Amanda speak three times now, and have engaged her to speak twice - all three times she had the audience in fits of laughter, and even provoked some tears. Amanda is intent on tailoring the session to her audience and will speak with you several times in the lead up to her speaking engagement. The participants loved that Amanda made references to things that were relevant to their profession. The ramifications of Amanda's keynotes have been very visible to me, even months later participants are still referring to the self-care strategies Amanda introduced and are still celebrating small achievements with a ‘Ta-da!’
Where do you start to talk about Amanda - you can start at the beginning or at the end or somewhere in between? No matter what you decide, the experience is exciting, inviting, inspiring, interesting and different that anything else you would have done before. If you want your people to think anything but seriously about change and culture, in a way that will deliver results, you have found your inspiration with Amanda.

Personal & Life Impact
Our marriage celebrant association, Australian Marriage Celebrants Incorporated, engaged this delightful, absolutely amazingly inspirational and motivational speaker, Amanda Gore, for our July conference. Amanda was, without doubt, the highlight of our conference, and the best decision we could have made. Simply put - outstanding! Amanda had our 250 participants captivated from the moment she walked on stage. The rave reviews are still coming in. Not only is Amanda motivational, but her presentation is also genuinely life changing for so many people - we were touched by her warmth and passion for positivity. It really is difficult to put into words what an amazing effect this lady can have on those fortunate enough to be in her audience! We were spellbound, enchanted, moved beyond words, and every single delegate left on the highest of highs. Thank you Amanda for being you. A unique, no-nonsense, ‘get a life’ presenter - you rocked our conference and we will be forever grateful!
Amanda was the most dynamic and insightful relationship speaker I’ve either hired or listened to. I would not have our first meeting of the Northeast Consulting Partners at Deloitte without her. We changed our dates so she could be with us.
I have worked with Amanda twice to have her speak at my Women in Technology conferences. She always gets the audiences laughing and yet she delivers an important message that makes you more aware around interactions and communications both professionally and personally. She is a real pleasure to work with and graciously spent time with our audience after our event and I would highly recommend her as a speaker at any event!
As always, Amanda was a huge hit!! Her important message was delivered with humour and she totally engaged the audience. One of our most cynical delegates said it was ‘almost a life changing experience’ for him!
Amanda is a wow of wows of speakers. She’s enchanting, captivating, brilliantly funny, tenderly charming, heartfelt, genuine, sincere and poignantly authentic and yet she delivers a powerful message that we each want and need to hear. She’s unforgettable with her innovative audience involvement techniques, that will give you skills to take home, tell others and start using immediately to better your life, your relationships, your future and finances. Amanda personifies ‘Chicken Soup’ in talk. She’s too good not to be known to the entire world.
I felt like I was seeing a lighthearted way to bring a very serious message to the masses, one of personal responsibility and the ability to make a difference through what we contribute to the whole. Your message was simple and profound.
I wanted to thank you for your awesome presentation at the Macy’s store teams conference. I really enjoyed your simple but powerful principles for a better life. I already have shared the “sparkly bits” with my team.
I generally am not a person that appreciates most motivational speakers. I was pleasantly surprised by your presentation. I felt your presentation had some very beneficial content and was based on fact rather than mind games.
I am so glad I had the opportunity to attend today’s speaker event with Amanda Gore. We need so much more of this proliferated. I hope that I can take what I learned today to help my career, but more importantly in my life overall.
Thank you for being at the Century 21 Convention. You have inspired me to always find the positive in life and not worry so much about business. Thank you again, you are wonderful!
I gave myself a big ‘Ta-Da!’, right there in the garage. What a change in attitude that was, I could have been grumbling the whole time but this was much more fun!
The Silpada conference was awesome. I feel compelled to let you know that you really did impact my entire life in such a good way.
I really just wanted to take the time to thank you for rejuvenating me with so many wonderful things and ideas for both my business and my personal life.
Your presentation at The Southern Living at Home Convention was absolutely THE BEST! Everyone was talking about your presentation, it was decidedly the highlight of the entire convention.
Since returning from the convention, I have listened to your tape, and others, a lot and found the messages very strong. This year I have felt the stress levels increasing; now I feel that I can cope with these much easier.
It has been my good fortune to have been a participant at functions Amanda has spoken at, as well as hired her to speak to our audiences. In all cases I can pay the highest compliment a speaker can earn: she will literally change your life. Amanda has the ability to touch people at their deepest, innermost level, and flip that switch that can bring about core transformation. I recommend Amanda as highly as I can.
I was at another consultant’s house tonight who had ordered your Live Out Loud package and we watched the tape and I laughed just as hard as the first time I saw you live and in person! It was exactly what I needed.
I just loved listening to you and really appreciate you helping to get me out of my ‘funk’ and back into life. I just want to let you know how you have inspired my marriage just with the little zoot, zoot, zoot!
I loved your presentation last week at the Greenbrier! Being employed and the mother of two teenagers, your ideas resonated with me and I am using some of your strategies with some degree of success.
I just wanted to say thank you for the absolutely phenomenal program you ran at the FEDA conference in Orlando. You really made me realize that I needed a change in my life. These past few weeks have really been completely different for me. I have never felt more positive in my life.
It was my privilege to see your presentation at the PPAI expo in Dallas. It was very moving and gives me a place to put my thoughts during a stressful day to lower the level of stress.
Fifteen minutes ago, I left the banquet hall at the American Staffing Association, filled with wonder, awe, and a renewed sense of fun and purpose. I’m sixty years old and have been going to motivational seminars for what seems forever, yours was the best I’ve heard, seen, and experienced in all those years.
I received a copy of the Live Out Loud video for my 40th birthday from my best friend. My husband and I laughed so hard, we absolutely loved it. I am sharing this video with a parenting group at my church!
Since that day, the changes I have made! I have added another profession to my life, besides being a hygienist, I have become a pilates instructor. I recognized the happy feeling in me and how long it hadn’t been there. From that day on I’ve looked at my life and how I made decisions, everything changed.
She just recently went to one of your presentations at a realtor convention in Colorado and came back a different woman. We have had some serious communication problems in the past, but now we talk just about every day, and it touches my heart every time. I don’t know if saying thank you enough will ever amount to how grateful I am to have this relationship with my mom.
All I can say is that Amanda changed my life for the better. Through her newsletters, she has become my unpaid life coach. I've plagiarized (not really I give her credit) her insights for almost two years with my working team, my friends and my family. She has a ability to understand the spirit in the best of us (Sparky), and remind the worst in us (Wally) to get over ourselves and remember how good it feels to to be good. If your cooperation or group needs the affection and admiration of the human spirit recaptured in every employee. Then Amanda is your 30min-1hr delivery method.
When you started talking I was in a trance. Everything you said was right on the money. My manager loved it too. When I got home I started using your methods on my wife and she loves them. You were the highlight by far of ILC.
I have already used lots of the ideas at home with my husband and daughter. I am working on getting a contact name through the headquarters so that I can recommend Amanda. She was absolutely brilliant! Thank you thank you thank you for the burst of positive energy!
I really enjoyed your session at the MCAA Conference this past week. You confirmed something I used to believe in, but from years of working with energy suckers I had allowed myself to become very stiff. Your seminar helped pull me back on track, and I am very glad I made the decision to step into the lion’s pit with you that day.
I have been fortunate to see Amanda in action several times, from conferences of IGA retailers to Mackay’s Retail Connect Committee. Amanda delivers the tools, attitude, education with complete relatability that can unite any team, family or tribe. Love your work Amanda. Xx
Amanda Gore addressed our National Conference. The content presented "hit the mark" in terms of the messaging and support we wanted to extend to members. The feedback we got from members included: - "The best presenter I've ever seen" - "Has given me a new and exciting way to view the world" - "Wonderful entertainment and an even better message" Personally, I found Amanda's presentation style uniquely entertaining, comical and emotionally charged. Amanda's ability to impart depth understanding of human behaviour created a warm connectivity and sense of team among a diverse group of individuals.
Be prepared to move out of your comfort zone, have fun, and most importantly leave Amanda's session motivated to truly connect with family, friends, and colleagues. The audience will be actively involved, even the ones that thought they wouldn't be, and in our case the hour Amanda was with the group seemed to fly by in mere minutes!
I attended a seminar in October 2022, where Amanda was the keynote "virtual" speaker. I had never heard Amanda present, and was not sure how effective a virtual presentation would be compared to a live, in person event. My questions were IMMEDIATEY squashed, as Amanda began. The attendees were electrified by her enthusiasm and content. It felt exactly as if she was live with all of us in the room. Even the fun exercises that she had the crowd participate in, went so smoothly. It was almost like she had a live feed to see the room and reactions (except she did not). Her timing, was impeccable. She singlehandedly set the tone for two days of immersive, thought transformative growth! Every person I interacted at the seminar shared the same sentiments, and credited the organizers for featuring Amanda. The passion and energy Amanda exuded was palpable. Her content and examples of practical & tangible applications for her message were IMPACTFUL! I was changed (both professionally AND personally), and believe many of my fellow attendee's felt the same way! I HIGHLY recommend Amanda to any person, company or group seeking a permanent transformation within themselves or their organization! I am still Zoot, Zooting with my colleagues and family! To Amanda, I say thank you so very much and keep up the AMAZING work you do!
I can’t say enough about how AMAZING Amanda is. Amanda recently did two key note presentations for our company - one to clients, and one for team members, and she was incredible! Her “real” approach connects with the audience immediately- she will move you to laugh, cry, everything in between and you’ll come out happier and more motivated and inspired. She knows how to move people - and get them to realise we can all choose Joy and be happier- personally and professionally. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone or any business looking to shift mindsets to a better place. Her takeaways have legs and are easily implemented with lasting results. Not only is Amanda truely motivating and inspiring, she is a pleasure to work with.

Leadership Growth & Self-Awareness
SOLGM hired Amanda Gore as keynote speaker at our Annual Conference, not once, but twice. She delivered an engaging, effective and highly spirited presentation on leadership at our conference. What a presentation! At the end of the 1.5 hour presentation in the morning after the conference dinner, she got the delegates up on their feet, hugging, smiling and sending zoot zoot to one another. During our briefing prior to conference, I told her that she may have a hard time engaging because of the profile of our audience. Boy was I wrong! We had to bring her back the following year to do a follow up on the presentation. And she did exactly the same, despite having an ear infection. Amanda is an excellent speaker to work with. She is very professional and would go beyond her duties to help you when you have event crisis - impromptu activities, late speakers, etc. What I also like (which I don’t normally see in other speakers) is that she actually attended most part of the conference which was valued by delegates and organisers.
Amanda was hired as the keynote speaker for Executive Women International's Leadership Conference and Annual Meeting. She delivered a high energy presentation that had all 400 attendees on their feet. Her key message of embracing change resonated so well that we continually heard our members reciting key components, adding her signature song as their personal ring tones and imitating her actions throughout the rest of the conference. The results at our Annual Meeting were unprecedented. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda to any conference organizer. So much fun and wisdom!
After seeing Amanda inspire our top performers at a recent rewards function, we thought her energy, passion and zest for corporate harmony would be just the recipe to get 120 leaders motivated about the future of our business. Amanda sent the group off on a high, ready and willing to embrace our business strategy and take it to their people. Amanda had the hardest to please leaving the forum with a better understanding of how important perceptions are, more skills in emotional intelligence and committed to changing their own, and their teams’ behaviours. The feedback from our leaders has been overwhelming with comments like ‘This was the best forum I have ever attended.’ Amanda is a fantastic corporate speaker and highly recommended.
Amanda delivered an amazing presentation on leadership and creating resilient workplaces that lead to better performance, which I KNOW resonated with the whole audience. Amanda is awesome and I highly recommend her.
At the end of a year when most of us were feeling tired and in need of a break, Amanda's presentation was inspiring and re-energising. Amanda gave us some really important and valuable messages on how, as leaders and managers, to bring out the best in ourselves and our team. Importantly, Amanda showed us how to do this and have fun at the same time, giving us factual, research based information on why we do things and how we can change this. Amanda is so good for the spirit, bringing laughter and joy into the education process as well. Great presentation.
Thanking you for jump shifting the attitude and the involvement of the delegates at our recent conference. Your incredible energy and captivating personality engaged every single participant to become a part of the program, something I have not witnessed in 25 years of management. Normally the doubting Thomas's remain pessimistic throughout the presentation and become ‘energy sappers’ to the rest....you eliminated these people at the onset and the tempo remained upbeat for the rest of the conference. Even at the service awards the slides were changed to the ‘ta dahs’ and the recipients gave a mixture of big and little ‘excellent's’ More importantly I can see that the Island Managers will go home and address their leadership style and reflect on their behaviours to ensure that they will be judged on their actions and how they act in front of their team. You will be pleased to know in my final debrief session with the crew when I asked them what we should do at next year's conference the over whelming response was BRING BACK AMANDA!!!!!! So you had better keep your diary clear for the same time next year as we hold the conference in this week every year.
My personal thank you for the impact you have had on my development as a leader and for the seed you have helped me plant to inspire general managers and owners to success.
I’m a new company hero for booking you at our meeting. I expected that the managers would like you, but I am proud to say that I badly underestimated how much. Not an energy sucker in the bunch!
Amanda was a huge success and made a significant impact on our leadership team. Her message was right on and her energy and enthusiasm was infectious.
After our President/CEO attended Amanda’s presentation, she was so impressed that we purchased Amanda’s ‘LIVE Out LOUD’ video for our senior management team. Since Amanda’s time with our employees, I’ve heard a lot of positive, enthusiastic comments. Amanda definitely made a positive impact on our employees!
Your ability to deliver a very serious message about life and leadership, in such an entertaining way, is truly an art. I would be very pleased if you would add my name to a list of references, I will share the information with my colleagues at Kraft as well.
Amanda, congratulations on receiving the Toastmasters’ Communication and Leadership Award! I am a past District Governor for Toastmasters and I plan to nominate you for an award with our Toastmasters International organization.
I just wanted to thank you for your very powerful, insightful and very entertaining session for the Wells Fargo Manager’s Conference. Your unique approach on presenting content and then explaining the process was very helpful in many ways. It was an outstanding conclusion to our conference.
Amanda is an inspirational and energetic thinker, leader and speaker. It doest hurt that she is funny as hell either. She was a pure joy to work with at the ICBA Emerging Leaders Conference. She comfortably moves people out of their comfort zones across generations to get them thinking strategically and creatively and critically about what they do. I'm sure she will bring a "joy spot" to your next event!
Amanda, Queensland based, is one of Crestcom's global faculty presenters. Her topics for the current Bullet_Proof® Manager program include "Motivating through positive communication" and "How to be a stress buster". Her sessions rate consistently highly in Australia, even higher outside the country in markets including India, China, Germany and the USA in particular. I have no hesitation in recommending Amanda. Positively! Jamie

She is an author of several popular books, including You Can Be Happy, Stressbusters, and Lead Out Loud. Amanda, thank you for helping Bullet Proof Managers to be 'Stressbusters'!
Amanda is one of the key speaker of the executive training program from Crestcom - The Bullet Proof Manager. Her innovative ideas, and her wonderfully experiential techniques to involve the audience, give participants practical ideas to apply in everyday life, and the needed motivation to apply this same ideas right after leaving the session.
Amanda is an inspirational and motivated speaker. Her ability to engage the audience through real life experience and humour is second to none. With a large Nursing and Midwifery workforce and in order to think a little outside the box I asked Amanda to start us on our leadership journey. Through simple props, lighthearted banter and great words of wisdom she did just that!! Incredibly intelligent and wonderful woman whom I would highly recommend as a speaker, a mentor and since the commencement of our interactions now a dear friend. Zoot zoot zoot!!
Amanda is an amazing person who understands the important relationship between leadership and motivation.
Amanda is an inspirational Speaker and creates and urgency for listeners to want to jump up and make changes in their life even before leaving the presentation!

Amanda is a dynamic motivational speaker who gets and keeps the attention of her audience. She’s sincere, authentic and brilliantly funny as she helps leaders and teams relate using emotional intelligence.
Amanda was our keynote speaker at our annual sales kickoff and training session in March, 2024. She was the perfect speaker and motivator for our sales team at that time. Her unique approach to inspiring teams with anecdotes from her own experience and owning your destiny in work and in your personal life hit home with our sales team and leadership. I would highly recommend Amanda to speak with your organization regardless of what your organization does.
Amanda brings energy and enthusiasm to the stage, sharing life experience, logic and laughter. She will create a new language, memorable moments and greater self awareness for all who attend her session. Ta Da Amanda !!
I first heard Amanda in Chicago at a convention for insurance companies and it was the best presentation ever. Next time was in Orlando at a case manager conference. As a physiotherapist she hits every target and does it with sincerity, knowledge and humor. I would attend any conference where she would be keynote.....no one can ever leave without a song in their heart and will learn to "always look on the right side of life."
Amanda Gore is an amazing speaker. I know her work as speaker at Crestcom program "The Bullet Proof Manager" and I love her conferences, the skills that she teach and her humour and enthusiasm. If you are interest in leadership and motivation you need to listen what Amanda Gore have to say.
Amanda was a catalyst to launch our RAC Leadership Development Workshop event to new heights. I was so excited to hear that she was the Keynote for the LDW that year where I helped lead the event, and she nailed it. Having first seen her years ago, she continues to spark the energy for an event and help to flourish. Good On Ya Amanda!
We, as most leaders in healthcare, operate in a very corporate culture but sometimes someone in a leadership position needs to step a little outside that mold just to see what happens. Thanks to Amanda, I will be that person in my organisation.

Standing Ovations & Top Ratings
Amanda recently absolutely dazzled our members with her insights, practical strategies and encouragement to lead our best lives - all delivered in the most entertaining and hilarious way possible. We have been coordinating quarterly events for the past 18 months and have never received such incredible feedback from our members, who included people in the room and many groups live-streaming in from over twenty 'event hubs' across the State. Our post event online survey indicated the tremendous benefit gained by our members through Amanda's entertaining and insightful presentation.
Amanda took the stage and dazzled us all for an hour. She has an ability to read her audience and deliver the energy and messages they need. People emerged energized as they literally buzzed around the event reciting messages from her talk throughout the conference's remaining days. Evaluations that year cited her as not only one of the best speakers they'd experienced but also someone who delivered content that had a direct impact on their lives.
I have been a member of MDRT for 29 years and have seen some of the best speakers in the world. None has ever received 3 standing ovations like Amanda Gore.
Your talk took an audience of 6,000, already energized by a great program, to a new level. No wonder you were the only one, of some of the world’s greatest speakers on 4 days of main platform programming, to get 3 standing ovations.
Amanda Gore proved to be the best speaker we have ever brought in to speak to our organisation’s leadership group. Her very motivational and uplifting style has a way of communicating her message, even to those who are difficult to reach. By the end of the session, she had everyone laughing and truly enjoying the ‘Amanda Experience’.
Amanda, you were a smash hit!!! We did a review of the evaluation forms for the meeting and of course you received the highest marks and some of the most complimentary comments, many of whom demanded that we have you back EVERY year!
Amanda Gore is, quite simply, an outstanding presenter. I recently shared the stage with her at an 800+ conference and her combination of humour and quality content was brilliant. I'm still not sure if she's a health expert or a comedian but who cares...she's one of the best speakers I've ever seen and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience watching and listening to her.
Amanda is a national treasure. She is the only speaker who has saturated the market in Australia, gone to the USA, saturated that market over a number of years and returned to Australia to do it all again. She does so well because she connects so well and she does that because she speaks into the listening language of the audience. She's engaging and delightful.
The reaction to your session at PIMS this year has been quite extraordinary, you scored 4.7 out of a possible 5. No one has ever done anything like this before. The Chairman of KPMG in Australia said the audience were captivated with your expertly delivered presentation.
Your overall rating was a 9.88 out of 10. You also got a ton of great comments, most of which had to do with getting you into the General Session next year.
Thank you for helping to put it together. This was, as the score and the comments indicate, a very successful event, and a galvanizing outing for our chapter.
You were fabulous on the main platform. The four and a half minute standing ovation was unprecedented. You are a special and gifted lady. It will not be long before you are the hottest US speaker around.
I just got the final event rating from the WPO office, 8.6 out of 10, based on 40 evaluations out of 135 participants. This was the highest attended event of the year, so far. Great speaker with an excellent message, a powerhouse of activity!
I ordered the video and showed it at a medical transcription symposium in Denver. You got all 4s with two people rating you as 5, off the chart! Thank you so much for helping make this symposium a success.
Congratulations on your high marks, and thank you for your help in making the IT Leadership Retreat such a success. Survey respondents gave your presentation an average score of 4.47 on a five-point scale, and your session ranked among the highest in value of the entire retreat.
As usual, Amanda did an excellent job with my smaller-than-expected audience. Our group gave her excellent reviews and she will be the buzz for some time. Our attending board members and sponsor were elated and thrilled with Amanda’s presentation.
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation to the Oklahoma Restaurant Association. Your messages were diverse and on target. I’ve served on the ORA board for 17 years and past president; you were the BEST presenter we have ever had.
Amanda ticks all the boxes for me - and our delegates...she is absolutely wonderful and apart from the wisdom she imparts - she is so refreshingly unique...when I think of someone special and outstanding we have had present at our conferences over 12 years...Amanda is definitely in the Top 3!
Amanda- Thank you SO much for giving such an fabulous presentation to our Society of Incentive Travel Executives Southern California Chapter yesterday. Everyone loved you! Your words of inspiration were a huge example in how to package profound messages with humor and to be more appreciative of each other. After your talk, several attendees came up to me and said that was our best speaker presentation EVER! A couple of other colleagues who attended the event said it was so much more inspiring and enlightening than just hearing facts and figures from a speaker. At our SITE SoCal Board meeting later yesterday, we were all showing appreciation and saying "Ta-Da!" to each other! Thanks again for helping us laugh, learn, love, celebrate and for "lighting the pilot light in our hearts"! You're the best!
Amanda was the best key note speaker at a mediation conference I attended two years ago and what impressed me most was that she had clearly taken the time to understand our profession. Her key messages were delivered with relevant examples and scenarios. If two years later you can still remember the key messages of a presentation, then that is surely a mark of success? Amanda inspired us to bring joy to parties who come to mediation (not by waving a magic wand - although it is often tempting) but by providing support to conflicted parties and helping them to find a peaceful resolution. I highly recommend Amanda Gore.
I first saw Amanda speak live at a Meeting Planners International conference. She wowed the audience so much that she received a thunderous, lengthy standing ovation. Her program alone uplifted the mood of the overall conference. She had the attendees smiling and singing in the hallways during breaks. Basically, what Amanda does is educate people while they laugh - with great content on how to effectively deal with change and delivered in a way that makes a real lasting difference.
Amanda is one of the best speakers I have ever experienced! She shines and gets the audience in a magical state. She performs with humour and wisdom and I can´t wait to hear her again. Whenever I think of her I smile and sing "Always look on the bright side of life"
I have seen Amanda present about 20 times. So, I knew she was a sure thing when I approached her to present at the In Business In Health conference. What I didn’t expect was, that compared to the last time I saw her speak (about 3 years ago), she was about twice as good. I didn’t think it were possible! Amanda’s presentation was the highest rated from our conference, with repeated requests to invite her back for next year’s event. She makes the audience believe that they can change their world, and then the world. She talks about the hard stuff… and combines these lessons in a hilarious manner that makes it easy for the audience to digest. Some written feedback from our evaluation survey included the following comments about Amanda's presentation: "What an awesome way to finish the day! Amanda had everyone up out of their seats, dancing, motivated, inspired and left us in a atmosphere of love, joy and positivity, could listen to her all day!" "Amanda energised the room as soon as she stepped on to the stage! Her passion, love, enthusiasm and joy was so refreshing and motivating." "Amanda is an absolute legend! Big TA-DAs to her!" "Amanda perfectly balanced education with humour. Fabulous use of different learning styles and engaging communication." "Best keynote I’ve ever heard!"
Amanda Gore is an amazing speaker and an even more amazing person. She brings humor, knowledge and Joy to every presentation. I first hired Amanda for a keynote presentation at the Creative Memories Annual Convention and the attendees loved her. They laughed, they cried and they spoke "Amandaisms" for months after her presentation. I was so pleased with the results that I had her back for a presentation at the CM Leadership Conference. I also had her speak to the Creative Memories Canadian Annual Meeting where she received a standing ovation. I arranged for Amanda to speak to the Direct Selling Association Annual Meeting on the same program as Dr. Phil. Amanda was the star of the Meeting. Her insights and delivery opened doors for her to speak to dozens of additional DSA companies. I asked Amanda to speak at the Scentsy Annual Meeting to over 6,000 attendees and as expected, she did not disappoint. She brings amazing insights into human nature and enables one to change themselves from within. It is with great joy that I recommend Amanda as an amazing speaker, trainer and entertainer. She is the best!
Our company tends to be very conservative and, truth be told, probably a little difficult to please. We are a tough crowd. There were undoubtedly 'safer' choices than you… I had nothing to worry about. You were hilarious, amazing, touching and unforgettable. I would have thought it unthinkable to have everyone pleased with your performance, but I have literally not heard one negative word!
Our evaluation tool rates a speaker on a 1-5 scale with 5 being excellent. Your total was 4.95, the highest of any of our previous speakers. Several people changed your score to a 10 or added many pluses next to the scores of 5! The comments were reflective of the impact you had on our staff. Adjectives such as ‘awesome’, ‘excellent’ and ‘the best’ were interspersed with full comments like ‘best speaker yet, have her back’!
The critiques that I previewed gave you the highest of ratings. I was worried that the presentation would be too long for this group to sit through, but everyone thought you should have had more time. Figure that out! I did a presentation at one of our larger companies yesterday and the folks that attended your session raved about you. So you made me look good too!
It was not a surprise to see that you were the highest rating speaker at the SOLGM Conference in Palmerston North last September. Your keynote address rated 3.8 out of 4! Excellent!!!! Here are some of the comments we received (from engineers!): ‘Amanda's approach to motivation was not only fun but provided a valuable learning experience.’ ‘Amanda Gore was in a class of her own - absolutely top class!’ ‘I have seen a large number of ‘inspirational speakers’ at conferences over the years and Amanda was easily the best.’ ‘wow, Amanda Gore - worth attending just for that’ ‘Amanda Gore was fantastic amusing and practical - Love to see her back.’
I had the pleasure of attending Amanda Gore's presentation at a leadership conference sponsored by Burger King Corp several years ago. Her presentation was so insightful regarding the dynamics between parents, their children, and how those behaviors show up in the workplace. Her presentation was so enjoyable, humorous and insightful that it was the most attended key note speaker event ever for Burger King Leadership. I would highly recommend her for any organization or group.

Professionalism, Preparation & Ease to Work With
I've had the wonderful pleasure of working with 100s of professional speakers. Amanda Gore is a stand-out. I'm so appreciative of the work she does. She spent hours working with me to make sure her message would convey as well over the computer as it does in person. And, once again, she delivered a brand-new, authentically wonderful message that the audience needed to hear.
Amanda Gore is SENSATIONAL. Watching her wave her wand of magic across the whole conference room, positively igniting an energy of laughter and happiness is nothing short of miraculous. Amanda is the consummate professional, you absolutely know her presentation will be the show stopper for the event! And she is! Every single time!
Amanda’s session lifted the mood and left attendees energized to a point that they were literally singing and dancing in the aisles. We were greatly impressed by Amanda’s preparation and the effort she put in to understanding our business in order to adapt her presentation to suit our audience.
Amanda is able to very effectively communicate complex (science-based) concepts in an entertaining and engaging manner. I am also impressed with the effort she took in understanding our business before presenting. Excellent feedback from participants. We will use her again.
Amanda was an outstanding presenter. Her commitment to delivery of her presentation, in that she attended a session at the conference prior to her speaker appearance to ensure she was capturing the essence of our desired outcomes, displayed a professionalism I have not experienced from a guest speaker. Her passion to ensure she had the whole audience ‘in her hands’ was simply amazing, and an outcome she achieved.
She was delighted with their engagement with you. She said your message was perfect, that you were wonderful to work with and that all the feedback she’s getting is great.
Amanda Gore was chosen to close the National Mediation Conference held recently at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. Delegates who were unfamiliar with her work where left pleasantly surprised as she managed to connect with and make the whole auditorium feel engaged and part of the bigger picture. Both Amanda and her team were a pleasure to work with leading up to the conference and the highest level of professionalism and quality assurance was maintained throughout. For an engaging and captivating speaker that left delegates singing, happy and entertainment I highly recommend her services.
Amanda has the amazing ability to captivate, educate and motivate her audiences. Her message was on point, tailored and delivered in memorable way. The feedback we received from our delegates about Amanda's session was amazing. She was definitely a standout.
Amanda was a great speaker and fit for our franchise clients. Her burst of energy and natural enthusiasm is infectious and naturally brings people to engage and step outside their comfort zone. Amanda is flexible, adaptable and authentic. I look forward to working with her again!
Amanda is arguably the most respected professional speaker in Australia. This kind of recognition does not come without being truly exceptional at her craft. Enormously engaging, absolutely hilarious and exceptionally masterful in the management of the group, Amanda commands place at the very top of her industry for very good reason.
Amanda Gore is a breath of fresh air - the perfect storm of skill / experience and attitude. I have witnessed a number of Amanda's performances and marveled how quickly she had the audience literally in the palm of her hand. As a human being Amanda is also the 'real deal' - audiences and groups get that quickly. All in all Ms Gore is one of the most consummate professionals I have ever known. If you are wondering will she make a difference - don't waste your time - she will - just work out what sort of difference you want her to make.
Principal's in the North Coast Region, Department of Education, were privileged to have Amanda deliver the keynote address at their recent forum. Amanda was inspiring and professional in her delivery and had the audience literally on the edge of their seats. Her energy, enthusiasm, captivating stories and expertise on the subject left Principal's with valuable tools and strategies to implement into their everyday.
Amanda took the time to understand our business and tailored her presentation to suit. Our audience left extremely motivated and on a high!
Amanda Gore is an outstanding business woman and excellent platform speaker. Professional, polished and experienced she never disappoints her audience. She is skilled at bringing heart and soul into alignment and her message is applicable across all business sectors. Regardless of whether she is addressing 500 oil and gas executives or 100 small business owners she always manages to leave lasting footprints in the memory of those who's lives she touches. I can not recommend Amanda Gore highly enough. You won't be disappointed on engaging her services.
We had Amanda speak at our Conference and she was AMAZING. She had hundreds of people interacting and standing up smiling and engaged in her talk (which was tailored to our business). Her motivation was contagious and everyone left feeling energized and happy. Would highly recommend having her as a keynote speaker at any event!
WOW! never would I have imagined a room full of IT professionals getting up at a conference and dancing and singing with linked arms--- but Amanda made it happen!!! Amazing guest speaker full of energy, passion and enthusiasm. She made sure she knew her audience and delivered a result far greater than we asked for. Very happy with her contribution to our theme of "Success" and would have no hesitation in recommending Amanda to any audience as there was something for everyone in our 90+ group. Thanks Amanda look forward to working with you again.
Amanda was the Keynote Speaker at the Conference in Denver for Financial Service Sales Professionals. She thoroughly engaged the audience, and spoke of joy, gratitude, and happiness. All 130 attendees had great things to say about her, her message, and her method for "engaging" the audience in the presentation. I would highly recommend her as a Keynote Speaker.
Amanda is an electifying presenter and spirit ignitor!! I had the absolute pleasure of participating in the Keynote session at the HRPA Conference in Toronto where Amanda inspired a group of over 1000 Human Resource Professionals to move forward in a positive fashion. She engaged and captured the attention of her audience by sharing her approach to fulfill the needs of people in your business, therefore dispelling their fears and influence the desired behaviours that you seeking. Truly a delightful, entertaining and joyful presenter!

Team Connection & Culture
Amanda has been my 'secret weapon' to energise culture and connectivity in teams.
Your opening keynote session on day 1 of our conference really set the tone for the event, it was like everyone entered the room in one mindset, and left with another. Prior to the conference I felt like everyone was not thinking as ‘ONE’, however, upon conclusion, I have never seen this group so united in their thinking, their approach, and their vision for the future of our organization. It was truly something special to watch unfold. You are a complete professional and an expert at what you do, Amanda.
Thank you for enabling a team building event to culminate in a group of people who were just beginning to warm up to one another, walking out of the room really caring for each other.
You have changed the culture of our meetings. They will never be the same thanks to you.
I’ve heard some ‘motivational’ speakers in my time, but you made me laugh so much and made me think so much that in my office this morning I now have several colleagues doing ‘the bridge.’
You have added so much vitality, value, and energy to our team at many more levels than most folks are aware of. The combination of your communications, group dynamics, and connection skills are without peer.
My team was one of the finalists for the Sonic Games this year and the highlight they are talking about is your presentation. They brought what they learned back to the Drive In and are teaching the other employees the principles you taught.
Thanks for the note and the over the top experience at our meeting. The energy created was awesome and your message is a very strong fit with our culture.
We so enjoyed having Amanda Gore at our recent annual MTA Conference & Expo. Amanda easily built rapport with us and our delegates and set the positive tone for one of our ‘best conferences ever’ (according to delegate evaluations). She was able to connect with our group of around 300 and not only educated us in “what REALLY matters” but entertained us as well. I would not hesitate in recommending Amanda to anyone wanting the WOW factor at their event and hope to work with her again in the future.
Amanda's presentation was sensational. The workshop with our Hospital Management Team was joyful, thought provoking, considered, hilarious and energetic. She connected us and empowered us to think with our heart and our head, to lead, learn and stand united-and above all to approach our work, home life and each other reverently and positively. She provided us with strategies to change and modify behaviours and stories, how to maintain control in times of stress and to unify teams- not to mention how to build a bridge! Through much laughter and story telling she had us learning, laughing, listening , singing and dancing - She taught us to wake up.... to what really matters! Much gratitude and zooties to Amanda..... Holy Spirit Northside Private Hospital, Chermside.QLD
I have had the distinct pleasure of hearing Amanda Gore present as the keynote speaker on two seperate occassions here in the United States. I would highly recommend that if you have the opportunity to run, not walk to hire her for your event - she is by far the most dynamic, energetic and high profile speaker I have ever heard. She is engaging with her audience, get's people involved "out of the box" and is absolutely superb at what she does. Again, I would highly recommend you take the time to contact Amanda and discusss her fit within your needs.
Amanda presented at my schools first Student Free Day for this year. Amanda struck a perfect balance between educating, informing and entertaining. It tied in perfectly with the school wellbeing plans for the year and every staff member spoken to, said this was the best start to a school year ever (everything else is a First World Problem). The new staff are ecstatic and are amazed at the approach we took to starting the year. Everyone of the new teachers has come up to me and said how glad they are to be here and how fantastic Amanda's presentation was. The cleaners all wanted to leave after morning tea and were convinced to stay and they all loved it. To see the cleaners talking and laughing with each other, the teachers and all the other staff and parents was amazing. They now understand they are part of the fractals that make this place run and they are valued. Thanks again and see you again soon
Amanda's presentation this year at Filex was nothing short of brilliant. She connected with the audience immediately & presented her material in such an entertaining & enjoyable manner that people were talking about it for the remainder of the conference. It was an absolute delight to be in the audience & I hope I have the good fortune of hearing Amanda speak again soon!
It was such a joy to have Amanda on the road for our event. She brought humour, inspiration and entertainment. Not only did we receive fantastic feedback from our clients but she took the time to connect with our team. Highly recommend her!
Amanda is a fabulous speaker who is well respected amongst her peers in the speaking industry. I would have confidence that Amanda would inspire, enlighten, and teach others. She has built a great business and achieved success in an industry who's top performers are predominantly male. I'd also add she's a wonderful person.
I could write a glowing recommendation on the wonderful presentation that Amanda gave to our 100 carers of people with a disability - but the feedback they sent me will tell you much more: "Great to have a laugh and communion with other other people at our table. It made life less lonely. So glad I came!" "Good advice, with lots of laughter. Brightened my day tremendously." "Very energetic and funny." "Great to have a laugh and communion with other people at our table. It made life less lonely. So glad I came." "It changed my attitude." "I was surprised with the overall presentation - so much positive motivation." "It woke me up." "Very uplifting - I cried and I laughed and left feeling a much better and happier person." "Life changing. Just wonderful." "The guest speaker was most stimulating and informative about how to live life and enjoy our situation." "Loved it being funny - laughter is so beneficial." "I loved it - Amanda is amazing." "Full of energy and really interesting new way of communicating." "Let's do it more often." What more can I say? Amanda is an amazing speaker.
As a professional MC, I spend a lot of time sitting in conference rooms, observing professional speakers at work. Amanda Gore without doubt is one of the very best. She transforms the mood in a conference room in a way that others could only dream of doing. Even the toughest, stubbornest, most conservative, cynical or 'blokey' audience soon come on board and are swept away in her hysterical, tender, insightful, energetic and thought-provoking messages and activities. Amanda is simultaneously well-researched yet able to improvise and adapt to the crowd. She passionately cares about her subject matter and her enthusiasm is infectious. She also happens to be a lovely person, with no attitude, no prima-donna tendancies, is endearingly self-deprecating and most importantly - super experienced and highly professional at what she does. Guaranteed to leave your audience on a high, smiling, talking to each other.....perhaps even singing......and certainly thinking. And she wears a mean pair of Bunny Ears.
I've "hired" Amanda twice from the perspective of listening to her presentations to an organisation that I belong to. Not only is she an insightful, inspiring and energetic creative speaker, she is without doubt the most enjoyable presenter that I have ever heard. Why? Because although she is funny and wickedly intelligent - she's also right. And when you've listened to Amanda, and go back to your own office and try to put her words into practice - you get results. This may be a small example, but she has enabled me to completely turn my team meetings around. In fact I wasn't even having team meetings but they seemed like such a waste of time. Now I follow some of Amanda's advice, and our meetings are now regular (! who would have thought!), effective and fun. But most of all - taking her advice has made me a better manager, and my team a better team. What more could you ask for from a presenter? I could listen to her all day, and I would really value a one on one conversation because she has made me a better person and a better manager, helping my staff to also improve. She's a motivational rock star who really knows what she's doing, and encourages ongoing development, which she also practices in her own life. I feel priveleged to have been able to hear her twice.
I can’t tell you the positive impact your 90 minutes had on the entire conference. It was like all the barriers and hierarchy were broken down and our people felt so much more comfortable about accepting their weaknesses, and not highlighting deficiencies of others. It was such a positive event, with lots of TA DA’s and zoots flying around throughout. I even greeted the guests yesterday wearing the sparky ears which went down a treat. Thanks again Amanda for all your kind words and for a wonderful presentation, it really did have a significant impact on our people and culture.

Measurable Business Results & ROI
I had the absolute pleasure of recommending and contracting Amanda to present at a valued client's recent conference. Over 70% rated Amanda and her presentation as ‘Absolutely Fantastic’, with the remaining rating her as ‘Great’. Both the delegation and the client were so impressed with Amanda's presentation that she was the hot topic at every table at the dinner the following evening! I would have no hesitation in recommending or contracting Amanda for future clients.
You made such a difference. I spent most of this week out visiting the branches. Wow, it’s catching on! Everyone is using the tools you gave them. I make financial decisions every day about how to use our budget wisely. You were the best investment we have made yet. We will earn ‘dividends’ for a long time.
You will recall that at the Business Managers conference in the beginning of the year as part of the change mindset objectives was to have the Business Managers sell more of the Insurance products. It is pleasing to note that your presentation had a major impact on the improvement and growth in Insurance sales this year. For the 1st quarter compared to the same period last year our Insurance income is up 36%, which is very pleasing particularly in a mature market. We are also pleased to let you all know that we have just had a record month for Ancillary Insurance sales. For the first time ever, we have surpassed 1000 ancillary policies in a single month. May has just recorded 1047 new ancillary units!
Yes, it’s sometimes tough measuring ROI on attitude and behavior. Please feel free to have any client call me and I’ll be glad to talk with them regarding the impact that you had on us. There are many things that we still embrace of yours. Our employees seemed to (and continue to) take life a bit easier, not stress so much and enjoy their jobs.
Amanda Gore is without question the best investment our organisation has made in the last few years, and her message helped connect all attendees with the vision of our hospital. She has an inherent ability to reach a wide variety of people, and this has had a profound impact on the culture of our hospital. We literally had employees wanting to attend her session on all three available days, as many of them said that Amanda’s session was the best thing they had ever attended.
We hired Amanda to help us support a client who was going through a major transformational change program, with the complex brief of offering some perspectives on leadership, a discussion of successful teaming, and giving the program teams some effective tools for managing the fear of change and stresses of implementing a major program. Anyone who has seen video clips of Amanda on YouTube knows the energy, humor and deep subject matter expertise that she brings to her engagements. What you don't see is the time and effort she puts into understanding the audience, the key points that we wanted to communicate and the quick understanding of the company and program structure and culture. Many speakers make the mistake of being entertaining at the expense of educating and providing content, or of being content rich but dull and unmemorable. Amanda delivers simple, practical techniques for improving team and organizational performance, managing our personal lives, health and relationships. More importantly she does this in a way that is entertaining and memorable. I find myself using techniques I first heard about when I saw her present 7 years ago. More importantly the survey feedback on the event was overwhelmingly positive, with 75% of folks saying that they would make changes to their personal and work lives based on the session. I also received several personal thank you's from individuals who felt profoundly impacted. There was one 'foofer'. If you truly want to change your culture and team dynamic, hire Amanda.
Meeting planners have to ask themselves if the speaker that they are looking to hire is worth what they paid. I am here to tell any meeting planner who wants to know, the answer is YES. Amanda is worth every penny and about $60,000 more! I have hired speakers who charge $40,000 and more and they did not leave the audience with a fraction of what Amanda did.
Amanda recently spoke at our National sales conference to around 20 of the sales team. After just a few short discussions Amanda was quick to get a great picture of our business and team and what we were looking for from her. Amanda got our conference off to a great start which carried through for the full three days and most importantly she left the team with some tools and thoughts for them to take away. The group thoroughly enjoyed Amanda's session.
I invited Amanda Gore to speak at the recent sphinxx Ascend development day in Brisbane and my advice to you is to do the same! I first experienced Amanda as an audience participant in the USA where she’s been working for the last decade or so. When I found out she was back in Australia, I just had to secure her to speak at my event. She is insightful, engaging, warm, energetic and inspirational speaker who had everyone on their feet and participating right to the end of her presentation. Her content is very relevant to the senior businesswomen in my network and I received countless positive feedback about her presentation. If you’re contemplating engaging Amanda for your event - stop thinking and just do it. She’s the best investment you’ll make energising and motivating your team.
Amanda provided our business community to remember why they were in business. She delivered and excellent workshop that was 100% on brief with terrific results. All participants not only wanted her to return but also wanted to ensure more staff could attend.
You killed it with us at our Sales Kick Off! You were absolutely right going first up and setting the scene. You managed to hit all the points we wanted brought out that were relevant to Veda and you did it in a really memorable way. Your delivery and energy is tremendous. That's exactly what we wanted to have our people walk away with - great concept, tools to execute and a terminology that we can use to remind people how to keep the momentum going. Super job...more please
Amanda Gore was a keynote speaker at the Bauer Sales Conference. The timing of Amanda's presentation aimed to provide participants with an energetic, thought provoking & fun close to the conference. Amanda delivered across all these objective & more. The conference feedback highlighted Amanda as an absolute favorite in an impressive line up of speakers.
Amanda is an outstanding Key Note Speaker. From the first moment we started conversing to the final goodbye, Amanda was nothing but professional, relational and intentional. She was willing to listen to my event needs, understand the event audience and cared about the outcomes we hoped to achieve for the event. Having worked with a number of speakers, both locally and internationally, this characteristic is quite hard to find, yet, it is imperative to flourishing and successful events. Within the first 10 minutes (possibly 5) she had our 500 women fully engaged. Admittedly we were doing crazy things, but everyone entered in. Lots of laughing and movement in the room. When asked, "What did you think of Amanda Gore", our delegate feedback was 92% with 'right up there with the best I've ever heard' and incredible, I'm still feeling inspired (4 weeks on) Amanda's attention to detail, her initiative and ability to read and discern the audience is vital to a successful event. She did it all so incredibly well. On a personal level, she was a delight to work with and be with. Would we have her back again? For sure and for certain!! :)

Repeat Bookings & Loyalty
We had the gorgeous Amanda Gore present at our National Sales Conference. Her messages have weaved their way into our everyday language at work and are helping to create a culture of fun and joy, while also maintaining our professionalism. We have booked Amanda for two more presentations because we loved and valued her messages.
The event with Amanda was a huge success. We received tons of great feedback and several other groups asked me for information to book Amanda in the future.
You were AWESOME! Your message tied a very nice bow around our entire training message. You were a major hit, again!
I attended a presentation during the Hilton convention in New Orleans. I thought you were wonderful, as you had been the year before. I want to share you with my staff.
Dan Young couldn’t say enough good things about Amanda’s program, they were extremely pleased. They’re talking about bringing Amanda back for some other programs. This is one of our very best clients, so appreciate the great work!
Summary of meeting: excellent program. Amanda was clearly the hit of the meeting, even more so than last time. We’re going to have to book her again sometime.
Yes, I am very proudly a Director with Home Interiors. This was the second time I had seen Amanda, her enthusiasm is so contagious! Just want to pass that on to my Unit.
I was really surprised with the people’s reaction to your presentation. You have a great message and presentation method which is indicative of your success. We will have you return for a follow-up session.
We have received consistent feedback that Amanda was not only the best part of Thursday, but of the whole conference! We’ll definitely be asking that little lady back!!
You conjured up so much enthusiasm, we are still wiggling our fingers at each other and saying ‘Hel-loooo.’ I’m going to ask that you be booked for a return visit when the next conference commences.
Simply put - Amanda is amazing and a great fit for any audience! She’s engaging, easy to relate to and has a message that will resonate with any group in any market. Amanda has appeared several times at our events and the result is always the same, she’s a huge hit each time she speaks! She’s a pleasure to work with and someone I would highly recommend.
There is no one word to describe Amanda....AMAZING would be the closest. Her presentation was simply outstanding and all delegates agreed she was the standout presenter for the day. I can not recommend her enough and would happily book her again. Next time I would be booking a longer session as you could quite simply listen to her all day!
My client was looking for a speaker to address work/life balance issues for a group of sales executives challenged by a lot of change in the organisation. They were limited by their budget and weren’t happy with the speakers in their price range. I suggested Amanda and convinced them to spend more than their budget would give them a return that couldn’t be measured in dollars. They hired her and have never been happier, I have a client for life! Amanda is what we refer to in the bureau business, ‘a guaranteed success, each and every time!’
Everybody will get inspired by experiencing such a great, lively and charming speaker as Amanda Gore! I hired her for a national event and saw her again in Las Vegas years later and she was still unbelievably energetic and motivating, yet warm and sincere. One of the best speakers I have heard and worked with! Besides all that, she is a lovely person to hang out with. Value for money and an asset for life!
I had the great privilege of hiring Amanda to speak to more than 300 of our field leaders, with the goal of inspiring them to continue being the great leaders we know they are, while challenging them to take it up a notch and bring a little more joy with them along the way. Amanda absolutely exceeded our expectations. She captivated the room from the moment she started and had our entire audience engaged throughout the session. Every single person walked away with a new perspective and something they could immediately take back and implement in the workplace. I can’t recommend Amanda enough if you’re looking for someone who can genuinely inspire your team, grab their attention, and leave a lasting impact. We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity we have to bring her back!

Virtual & Remote Effectiveness
Amanda delivered an incredible, high energy workshop to our K2 Elite clients at our first Hybrid Mastermind event. She has a real skill for keeping engagement high and working well with both a live & virtual audience simultaneously all whilst making it heaps and heaps of fun. Our audience absolutely loved the energising communication & performance workshop.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Amanda’s BIG Reset presentation helped our nurses rediscover joy and gratitude in our work and everyday lives using real-time strategies. She tailored a virtual presentation to help us incorporate our professional practice model and resiliency initiatives while including our families in the journey. This was a virtual first for us, and because of Amanda’s authentic, energized delivery, it will be shared again and again!
Amanda’s presentation was inspiring and captivating. She held the online audience in the palm of her hand and our Educators could not speak highly enough of her energy, positive messages and practical strategies.
Your session ended the event in such a terrific note...Folks ended up wearing actual glasses, the comment box was on fire and we shared lots of gratefulness messages to each other.... And, you were totally right, Q&A would've ruined the magic vibe you created. There was strong energy from heart to heart flowing around. We ended it with a 100+ people big TA-DA!! I'm super grateful we had you!!
We had a live chat box going and everyone was discussing your concepts live, flabbergasted by your energy and saying this was even better than most in person speakers they had seen. Thank you for your authenticity and your enthusiasm. The team really loved it.
Serving as emcee for a 7,000 attendee international simulcast event, Amanda stole the show. Her enthusiasm radiated through the live audience and had people dancing in the aisles even in broadcast locations several states away! Fun, engaging and with a solid message, you can't help but LOVE Amanda!
Hi Amanda, I just finished watching your wonderful presentation for our Kite Admins and as a Brit love to say Farc It! I wish I'd been able to attend live but I had a conflict. Thank you so much for providing a space for love and gratitude at this time for the group, you may have heard we recently had some layoffs and I know 2 of those present on the call were involved. It was so lovely for us to see them smile and know they are worthy and good enough to receive love.
Amanda’s virtual session was informative, well-structured and full of energy. One participant thought, ‘the presentation was fantastic and very inspirational, great job Amanda. I am sure much of this I can use personally but additionally adapt to motivating myself in business along with my team’. On behalf of APPA, thank you for being the light during this unprecedented time.
What a fabulous presentation you gave to our group to close our first day of conferencing! We need that every time as it was such an energy booster for the night ahead. I still can’t believe you had a whole audience of men hugging and singing!!
Last year, we prepared a virtual event for our members in Brazil and Amanda did a great job, preparing one of her amazing presentations on line. She really dedicated time to talk to us, understand the briefing and learn about the public, the sector and the moment for the country and companies and she really made the session according to our needs. It was one hour of fun, motivational and at the same time professional and work oriented session. She really is different and special! Thanks so much, Amanda!
I haven't met Amanda in person (yet) but I was lucky enough to be invited to a ‘virtual’ event that Amanda spoke at. I vividly recall the energy in the room, although hundreds of miles away, you could feel the excitement. Amanda had the room riveted as she explained Foofers and FARC! I still joke with my ‘joy buddy’ many years later, and many of her terms inject themselves...
Amanda was brilliant. She successfully presented to 3 Regions being Australia where she was physically and America and the UK and involved all regions enabling interaction and involvement using Virtual Conferencing technology. She injected motivation and enthusiasm into the groups and her techniques and suggestions have lived long within the group.

Coaching & Speaker Mentoring
I've had the pleasure of receiving speaker mentoring from Amanda. In less than an hour, she helped me transform a talk from a passive experience into something much more engaging, effective, and FUN. Beyond the immediate help, Amanda shares little-known speaking tips that apply to any talk and general life wisdom too. If you have a talk you want to elevate by making it more engaging, interactive, and memorable, I recommend Amanda wholeheartedly!
Where do I begin about our session yesterday, Amanda?!!! I'll start with a huge THANK YOU for sharing so much of your wisdom and expertise with me. I couldn't stop smiling for hours afterwards and am so excited to start (a small step at a time) putting your feedback into action. The structure suggestions, pure brilliance. Body positioning tips, such an eye-opener. Engaging the audience in more of a conversation, a gamechanger. Can't wait to have some fun with my next keynote and also to have another session with you sometime. Amanda doesn’t just coach you, she completely shifts how you think, speak, and connect. I’ve never felt more aligned with my message or powerful on stage.
Our conversation left me with the biggest smile on my face! What a treat to get to talk with you and hear your wisdom.
Thank you for yesterday! No, definitely not too much! I loved your honesty and I appreciate that from a coach. I would definitely love to work with you.
