Biography
As a communications and performance expert, Amanda believes success in business is always about feelings – the way we feel about a product, organization or person influences how we behave and informs our decisions about how we spend, or with whom we conduct business.
Taking the stance that business has been paralyzed by its own over-analysis, her presentations break down the barriers that separate people in an invigorating, action packed ride towards self-discovery and ultimately, real and lasting change.
She demonstrates how people can re-connect to the energy and emotional layers that really drive performance, innovation, relationships, engagement and creativity in their business and personal life utilizing positive psychology, epigenetics and emotional intelligence.
.... and all this very intelligent sounding stuff means basically that:
People who are happy at work are 31% more productive, sell 37% more and are three times more creative. They make better team players, handle change more effectively, become more positive and are much more engaged.
Amanda makes your audiences happier - for a long time and gives them strategies that work on how to stay happier!
She based herself in the US for eight years during which time she was voted as one of the top three speakers by leading speakers’ bureaus and inducted into the US Speakers Hall of Fame.
Amanda is engaged by some of the world’s biggest corporations to help business leaders achieve results by getting people engaged in, enthusiastic about and aligned with corporate goals and vision.
In between delivering an average of 60 presentations in Australia and the US every year Amanda has written five books, produced several DVD and audio programs and has accumulated over 1.6 million views on her You Tube channel.
Testimonials
We could not have asked for a better closing keynote. There was so much laughter coming from the audience and Amanda had great engagement. To close the conference with 300 delegates singing and dancing was sensational.
Australian Bookkeepers Network Pty. Ltd.
When Amanda Gore was suggested as a speaker for our sales meeting, I had serious doubts. What could a woman with a physiotherapy background do with a male-dominated, demoralized, fragmented capital equipment sales team coming off a bruising competitive year?... We’ve used every type of speaker in the past, from star athletes to big-name motivational speakers. Inch for inch, pound for pound and dollar for dollar, Amanda Gore was the best speaking investment we ever made!
CEO
Hobart Kitchen
Amanda Gore was an inspiring, uplifting, informative delight that our members were discussing the entire remainder of the meeting. I cannot impress upon you enough how well she was received. Amanda’s presentation was the most audience - inspiring performance we have ever witnessed. I would extend my highest recommendation to Amanda Gore.

Meeting planners have to ask themselves if the speaker that they are looking to hire is worth what they paid. I am here to tell any meeting planner who wants to know, the answer is YES. Amanda is worth every penny and about $60,000 more! I have hired speakers who charge $40,000 and more and they did not leave the audience with a fraction of what Amanda did.
Business and Professional Women USA
You made such a difference. I spent most of this week out visiting the branches. Wow - it’s catching on! Everyone is using the tools you gave them. I make financial decisions every day about how to use our budget wisely. You were the best investment we have made yet. We will earn ‘dividends’ for a long time.
VP Wells Fargo Bank
Amanda Gore is without question the best investment our organization has made in the last few years, and her message helped connect all attendees with the vision of our hospital. She has an inherent ability to reach a wide variety of people, and this has had a profound impact on the culture of our hospital. We literally had employees wanting to attend her session on all three available days, as many of them said that Amanda’s session was the best thing they had ever attended.
SSM Health Care
Amanda Gore brings a level of energy, enthusiasm, humor, and intelligence far above the conventional 'motivational speaker' you may be seeking for your next meeting. If you want to make your meeting memorable, and I do mean memorable (attendees are still talking about her presentation and message), and send people home on a high note, Amanda is the speaker for you.
American Association of Diabetes Educators
I was lucky enough to experience Amanda at a conference I attended back in 1989 when I first started working in the media industry more than 20 years ago. She blew me away and since then has been one of the most memorable speakers I have seen to date (and yes I have seen a lot!). When I was charged with finding a keynote speaker for the Media Sales Summit I knew I had to track her down. And that I did. The group was a tough, cynical bunch, feeling a bit jaded with the plethora of conferences on at the time. I watched her shine as she brought them back to what really mattered, JOY. We had so much fun and through it learnt more about life and what it really is all about. Thank you Amanda, as always you are a much-needed STAR in this ever-changing world of ours. With Gratitude.

Amanda Gore, you are an inspiration! Verosol has never had a sales conference like this one. Despite all of the laughs, and metaphors, your messages were very clear and hard hitting. Success in business is strongly influenced by people and how they interact together. Amanda, your session set the scene for one of the most successful conferences we have ever had. Thank you so much.

What a delightfully refreshing talk you gave to our members last week. It is a long while since the hallowed halls of the Reserve Bank echoed to the laughter and experienced high jinks you brought forth from those present. You showed us highly sedentary bankers how to improve our health, appearance and mental outlook without necessarily becoming fitness fanatics.

Amanda Gore has a great message, one that RESONTED loudly with our audience, Terrific, Great and Awesome
Salesfest
A Sunday morning presentation immediately following a really big Saturday evening function is a tough gig at the best of times. Amanda Gore thoroughly invigorated all 450 attendees with her lively and spirited presentation setting the tone for the remainder of the day. Amanda, taunts her audience into submission in the nicest ways leaving them much more aware of the impact they have on people around them. Great value. I would confidently recommend Amanda to any conference organiser looking for a big lift for their audience

Amanda always gets the audience engaged in her presentation … its thought provoking and requires active participation. The message she imparts sells the benefits of a happy work place and one that seeks to constantly improve by engaging with its people
