Leadership testimonials

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

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! Any organisation wishing to energize their people should engage Amanda Gore to address Leaders, Managers and Staff. I assure you, your people will be highly motivated to do better!

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.
