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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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 dynamic speaker from Australia. She has a intriguing and entertaining insight about business communication, leadership and occupational health. 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'!
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.
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.
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 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. .
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 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.
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.
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"
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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'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
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.
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 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!’
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
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 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 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.
Amanda took the time to understand our business and tailored her presentation to suit. Our audience left extremely motivated and on a high!
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 .
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.
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!
Amanda is an amazing person who understands the important relationship between leadership and motivation.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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 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.
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.

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 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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!!!!
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 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 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 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!! :)
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.
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 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!
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 !
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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 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.
