Event Planners & Conference Organizers
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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’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!

Corporate Leaders & C-Suite
Amanda has been my 'secret weapon' to energise culture and connectivity in teams.
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.
If you want a speaker that makes your people feel good after the speech, there are hundreds of good speakers out there to choose from; go get one. But if you want your people to be feeling good and making positive changes for weeks and months and years after, then Amanda Gore is your simple choice. In fact, ‘speech’ is hardly the word for what she accomplishes. She truly is someone who motivates your people to stop, think, analyze and change. She makes her life altering lessons easy to understand and terribly fun to execute. She leaves an incredibly uplifting impact on her audiences. Your people will truly thank you for bringing Amanda into their lives. So, you want a speaker? Go get one. But if you want a real catalyst for lasting, positive change, Amanda Gore is your clear choice! Zoots!
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
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.
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 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’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 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!
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.
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 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.
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.

Finance, Insurance & Banking
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.
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.
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!

Healthcare
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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’!
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.
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.

Professional Services & Consulting
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.
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 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.
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 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!

Education & Public Sector
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.
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 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.
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.

Associations & Industry Groups
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 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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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 a gem, she not only connected with our 2500 delegates but she took them on a rollercoaster of laughter and enlightenment.

Lasting Impact
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.
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.
Audiences who heard Amanda more than 2 years ago still talk about her and use principles from her presentations.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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!!

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.’

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.
It was a pleasure meeting you at the EDS Global Sales Conference and your message was spot on. Well done! Simple yet so powerful.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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!
We enjoyed your talk at the Elite Retreat. Your energy was felt by everyone and what a great way to finish the conference.
You have changed the culture of our meetings. They will never be the same thanks to you.
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!
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.
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!
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.

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.
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.
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.

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!
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.

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.
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!
It was fantastic to hear your talk as you entertained all of us at Birmingham. WOW! I feel so enlightened and enthusiastic.
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.’
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.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.

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!
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!

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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!

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!
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.
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!’

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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 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.
I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at the APWA Congress in Kansas City. I am using some of your suggestions in our department meetings already.
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 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.

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!
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!

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 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.
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 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!
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 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!
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.

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.
As always, Amanda, you amaze me with your insight and humor. Thank you for such an insightful message.
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.

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.
Great show at last week’s ERC! I’ve already sent a magic wand to my new best friend.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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 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.
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.

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.
