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.

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'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!!

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’s virtual session was informative, wellstructured 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 with sharing your knowledge.

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.

Keynotes

Keynote by Speaker Amanda Gore: Beyond Words – The Art & Science of Non-Verbal Communication

Imagine a workplace with empowered leaders, teams, and individuals who are connected through the heart of human interaction—caring, authentic communication. It boosts collaboration, engagement, and well-being in the workplace and beyond.

This keynote explores the art of authentic communication—why it’s vital for personal and professional success, and how to create meaningful connections despite the digital noise.

Drawing on her expertise in neurolinguistics, psychology, human factors and human behavior, Amanda reveals the keys to overcoming the barriers that prevent effective communication, such as fear, insecurity, and uncertainty.

Mastering the skills of non-verbal communication is critical for authentically connecting with others. And it’s not just body language. The unspoken and often unaddressed truth is that business is all about feelings! How people feel at work - about themselves and work really matters. And leaders and cultures are the main drivers of those feelings.

People want to feel recognised, cared for, valued, acknowledged, heard and seen - whether they are clients, team members, leaders, customers, partners or colleagues. Authentic, sensitive communication and connection is the secret to creating a psychologically safe and thriving work culture.

Attendees will leave with practical, science-backed tools to truly connect with others, build trust, foster empathy, handle difficult conversations. grow emotional intelligence, build rapport, and feel confident and comfortable in any conversation.

Keynote by Speaker Amanda Gore: The Real AI – Activating Awareness Inside for Sales & Leadership Success

Imagine leaders and salespeople who inspire trust, teams that connect deeply, and cultures where people aren’t just productive—they’re passionate. Amanda doesn’t deliver ordinary keynotes, she creates experiences; she equips audiences to harness the Real AI within and sparks revolutions in thinking that ripple through entire organizations.

The ultimate human advantage is conscious awareness. Science shows us that 95-99% of the time, we are literally unconscious of our thoughts. This affects every aspect of decision making and how we connect, communicate and feel.

People have not fundamentally changed for a thousand years but science has. The 'operating system' of a human is not binary based! It's more like quantum computing and runs on feelings.

Learn new, neuroscience based practical skills and strategies to re-engage your sales force, leaders or team in a way that leaves everyone feeling recharged and resilient - and find out what the REAL AI is!

Using Amanda's signature experience creating, humor loaded yet fact filled style, people will walk away thinking differently about sales, leadership and how they interact with others.

Transforming sales results begins with transforming our thinking, perceptions, actions and choices. Knowing precise ways to interact with others to prove that we are competent, trustworthy and safe (a feeling) is required for top performance.

Learn new, science-based ways to:

  • Be resilient and keep yourself motivated and enthusiastic.
  • Elevate emotional intelligence and create psychologically safe spaces where sales, innovation and creativity flourish.
  • Discover how self-awareness fuels better decisions, deeper connections, and authentic leadership.
  • Develop a modern sales mindset and understand the buyer mindset.
  • Change the perception of customers.
  • Listen properly (hardly anyone does).
  • Connect non verbally (instantly).
  • Establish lifelong relationships (in a short time) that create advocates not just customers.

Keynote by Speaker Amanda Gore: Joyonomics – How to Attract & Retain Great Employees

What if the key to skyrocketing productivity, retention and recruitment, innovation, and employee engagement isn’t found in data analytics or the latest tech, but in something profoundly human—JOY?

Picture a workplace buzzing with energy, creativity, and purpose—where people don’t just work harder, they work happier. Amanda doesn’t just deliver a speech; she ignites a movement that transforms mindsets and drives measurable results.

Companies that prioritize employee happiness and well-being consistently outperform the S&P 500. The impact of joy as a valuable asset in the workplace is undeniable!

This session is designed for team leaders and individuals looking to lead more effectively. Now, more than ever, we must reshape our perspectives and equip ourselves with the skills to navigate the ever-changing "new normal."

Maintaining team cohesion, motivation, and a sense of purpose is challenging, especially in a world dominated by remote work, burnout, childcare concerns, and physical disconnection. We’re working longer hours, often from home, thinking it’s better, yet missing out on the real human connections that are vital for our well-being.

This keynote is designed to offer strategies for creating a truly engaged and enthusiastic team, fostering meaningful connections, and enhancing overall well-being.

  • Harness the Economics of Joy: Understand how joy directly impacts performance, sales, collaboration, and the bottom line.
  • Specific Skills: How to create a joy filled, inspired, purpose driven, enthusiastic team.
  • Boost Motivation Through Meaning: Discover practical ways to create a culture where people feel valued, connected, and inspired to excel.

Keynote by Speaker Amanda Gore: The Power of Joy – The Ultimate Performance Boosting Stress Buster

Imagine your team energized, connected, and performing at their best—not through pressure, but through purpose and joy. Amanda doesn’t just inspire; she equips audiences with actionable tools that transform organizations from the inside out.

This isn’t about fleeting happiness; it’s about harnessing the transformative, measurable power of joy to elevate every facet of your organization. Our brains can be rewired for joy. This session teaches us how.

Everything in business is about feelings. Trust, empathy, confidence, cooperation, collaboration, leadership, responses to change - these are just some of the elements (feelings) that create a great culture, attract and keep great people and build a high functioning team.

This keynote is aimed at helping people feel good about themselves - which improves the way they interact with everyone else - colleagues, clients and family. And helping them create environments where others feel good.

Amanda presents profound concepts, in an entertaining way that:

  • Changes people's perceptions of themselves, others and their work.
  • Encourages them to take responsibility for themselves, their growth and performance.
  • Creates an experience that engages and energises.

Keynote by Speaker Amanda Gore: The Joy of Change – Change Isn’t Something to Fear – It’s an Opportunity to Embrace

Mastering the neuroscience of change gives us tools to shift mindsets, break habits, connect and thrive in fast-changing environments.

People with a growth mindset are early adopters of change and embrace it. People with fixed mindsets are terrified of change and resist it at all costs. Imagine a team of growth mindset people who are creative, adaptable, innovative, joyful and love the growth the comes with change. That’s what this keynote creates.

You are not your mindset - but your mindset creates your life!

Understanding mindsets and mindfulness literally changes wiring of your brain and improves performance, leadership, decision making, creativity; flexibility; reduces anxiety, stress, depression and reactivity; increases energy, wellbeing, makes you happier and more likely to embrace change.

This session will show you simple ways to mindful, be more present, more adaptable, more effective, more courageous - and more successful! It will deliver specific skills that will help attendees appreciate and handle change and see the value in it.

Being mindful is about becoming more conscious - and living more consciously - which is one of Amanda's core themes. Science shows us we are unconscious and most of us are running on habits and patterns of thinking from our past! We don’t even know those patterns are subconsciously programming our present. The capacity to be truly present, in the now moment is a superpower in adapting to change!

The difference between a growth mindset and a fixed one is the difference between successful transitions and those that struggle, a joyful life and a stressed, unhappy one; between a joyful team and a dysfunctional one; a great culture or a toxic one.

Change is perpetual part of our landscape and learning the skills to navigate it and how to develop a growth mindset is possible and critical for future success.
