Amanda Gore

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.

Imagine your organization filled with energized, engaged people who don’t just survive work—they love it. – whether hybrid or in an office.

Amanda doesn’t just speak; she catalyses change, leaving audiences inspired, optimistic, motivated, equipped, and ready to create lasting impact.

This keynote is about how to turn burnout into your organization's greatest opportunity for growth and equips delegates with the tools and mindset to choose wisely and embrace optimism and a brighter future.

The last few years have taken their toll on everyone! Burnout seems an epidemic. Bathed in uncertainty about everything, our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing has been seriously impacted. Many of us are living with fear, unmotivated, anxious, stressed and feeling burnt out.

It's time to reinforce the value of personal responsibility, connection and joy.

This keynote is geared around the new skills required to rise up out of the exhaustion and fear and rediscover the joy of living. Simple, easy to do activities and ways to change our mindsets and perceptions will help everyone grow their resilience and leave them with an inner compass!

This inner compass will be the way people can navigate their way back to feeling energised and enthusiastic about life again and to help them:

• Rediscover passion, and purpose.
• Re-inspire, re-focus and re-store meaning.
• Re-ignite confidence and enthusiasm.
• Stay sane and even thrive while navigating an uncertain future.

And much more!

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.

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.

Research shows that joy at work can boost sales by 37%, increase productivity by 31%, reduce errors by 18% and turnover by 51%, and enhance creativity 300%. Surprisingly, 75% of employees identify their boss as the most stressful part of their job, yet enjoying work is the top factor for both job and life satisfaction.

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.

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.
• Reframes stress and teaches what actually causes the harm – which is what you believe about stress.
• Gives them specific strategies to bust stress, be happier, fear less, deal with change, improve performance and communicate and collaborate effectively.

Amanda will blend storytelling with the latest research from epigenetics, emotional intelligence and neuroscience - which will not only show you how to reduce the impact of stress and disruptions, but also how to change your reactions to it permanently!

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.

Imagine a team deeply connected, where people genuinely care for and respect each other, go above and beyond, and love coming to work. It’s possible—and the secret isn’t another strategy or tool, but cultivating joyful cultures. It’s the secret to exceptional leadership, resilient, high functioning teams, and skyrocketing performance.

In this dynamic, edutaining session, Amanda Gore transforms perceptions, relationships, and workplace energy. It’s about shifting mindsets to foster personal accountability, enthusiasm, and authentic engagement.

• Rewiring Thinking: Learn how unconscious beliefs shape behaviors, relationships, and team dynamics—and how to change them.
• Positive Accountability: Embrace personal responsibility for energy, mindset, and contribution to the team’s culture.

Culture is like the quantum field—everything and everyone is connected, often unconsciously. 95–99% of our thinking is unconscious, driven by hidden beliefs. These shape our stories, emotions, lives, and nonverbal cues, impacting team dynamics and performance.

This keynote helps attendees:

• Recognize and shift ‘stinkin’ thinkin’ and energy-draining habits.
• Build resilience and psychological safety through conscious choice.
• Create positive, thriving environments where people feel valued and motivated.

Amanda Gore equips your team to take ownership of their mindset, behaviors, and impact—igniting a culture where joy isn’t just felt; it’s the foundation of success.
