Testimonials

“Amanda’s story, and the moving way she shares it, served as the perfect close to our Fortune Magazine Summit. The 900+ CEOs and top executives were brought to tears and cheers as they received a message that put the significant pressures, they face every day into perspective. One CEO shared with me that he had faced a $500 million loss which has been obviously weighing on him, but Amanda’s keynote gave him a new lens through which to view the impact – it was just money! She is an exceptional speaker.”

Verne Harnish, Chair
Growth Summit Presented By Fortune

“I have never seen an audience so engaged in a talk. Amanda has a rare gift for speaking to every person directly, even when the audience is 700 people. Amanda would be my first choice as a keynote at an event focused on resilience.”

WorkSafe NB

“Of the 40+ speakers we had for our real estate conference, including some of the best in the business, Amanda came out on top, ranking #1 in our survey of over 6000 attendees. People are still talking about her many, many lessons on resilience and growing up and out of tragedy.”

John Mcgragh
AREC Brisbane, Australia

“I’ve been booking keynote speakers for 25 years. I’ve seen them all. The good. The bad and the average. So, when someone exceptional takes my stage – I know it quickly. Amanda was that exception. The audience was so transfixed on her story that you could hear a pin drop. By the end of it all – there wasn’t a dry eye in the house and she got a huge standing ovation. I’m happy to recommend her to anyone, she is one of the world leading experts on resilience.”

Howard Szigeti, Producer
Unique Lives & Experience

“As Education OZicer the pressure is on to deliver so picking a speaker is a bit of a leap of faith. Amanda’s story and delivery was simply stunning, you could hear a pin drop in the room. We learned how to find and harness our resilience, and how to condition our mindset in the face of adversity. Her engagement with the audience in the Q&A added details and layers. First standing ovation in any of our chapter events!”

YPO Trinidad And Barbados

“She was amazing, spectacular, uplifting, articulate....the list goes on and on. She is in my humble option the best speaker we have ever had! Not sure how or if we will ever be able to top her.”
