Joy, burnout and resilience testimonials

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.
