Topics for Amanda Johnstone

  • Women in leadership
    International Women’s Day states: “We can all challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, and seek out inclusion.”
    Amanda’s mantra is simple, but powerful: "Only when diverse perspectives are included, respected, and valued can we start to get a full picture of the world: who we serve, what they need, and how we can successfully meet people where they are."
    In her keynote, Amanda will address intersectionality and demonstrate what individuals can implement now to ensure their teams feel valued and have a sense of social economy. Her guidance will indicate ways your team can #EmbraceEquity in 2023 and beyond. Amanda will communicate fresh and inspiring methodologies and demonstrate how the rise of women is not about the fall of men. Daring leaders fight for the inclusion of all people, opinions, and perspectives - because it makes us all better and stronger. Inclusion also means having the courage to acknowledge our own privilege and to stay open to learning about our biases and blind spots in gender equity. For men, it also means listening and honouring stories that reflect experiences that are different from their own.
    Courage is listening, learning, unlearning, knowing when to lead, and knowing when to let others lead. Women thrive when men meet women where they are. It’s beyond paperwork, lunches, fancy words and reports; all humans thrive when they feel truly seen. Amanda will reference and share her organisation's proprietary award-winning, evidence-based strategies and frameworks. She will use easy-to-implement examples showing how each person in your organisation can utilise these learnable and buildable skills to enhance wellbeing and morale in the workplace.
    Empathy and role modelling vulnerability must be on the front page of every modern leader's playbook. These qualities make us more humane and are what created the sense of community and affinity we experienced during lockdown during a hybrid workplace. The outcome:
    An increased spirit of togetherness and community. A new, invigorated sense of self within each individual. A celebratory atmosphere among your team. Brand new frameworks, practical tools, empowerment and evidence-based neuroscience as inspiration this International Women's Day.
    Amanda is available for a dynamic, interactive keynote crafted specifically to empower and educate teams this IWD and beyond.

    In 2022, the number of active users in the metaverse hit an all-time high of 400 million. Due to the fact that its virtual worlds will "infiltrate every industry in some way," according to JP Morgan, the metaverse will present a $1 trillion market opportunity over the next few years.

She collaborates with companies in these categories to train their teams and introduce Web3 products and services or to take their Web3 products to market.
    Be astonished and delighted by the creative ways your organisation can investigate and develop its brand in the metaverse.
  • Empathy and role modeling vulnerability - A leader's responsibility
    Empathy and role modeling vulnerability must be on the front page of every modern leader's playbook. Only when diverse perspectives are included, respected, and valued can we start to get a full picture of the world: who we serve, what they need, and we can successfully meet people where they are.
    Daring leaders fight for the inclusion of all people, opinions, and perspectives because that makes us all better and stronger. That means having the courage to acknowledge our own privilege, and staying open to learning about our biases and blind spots. It is also listening, centering, and honoring stories that reflect experiences that are different from our own.
    Amanda role models the perfect balance between research and positioning an organisation at the forefront of innovation. She discusses how to combine structure and science with being the first to market and building effortless community using evidence-based principles, neuroscience and co design for a more human approach to technology.
    Courage is listening, learning, unlearning, knowing when to lead, and knowing when to let others lead. Amanda will share her evidence based strategies and frameworks on how you can optimise these learnable and buildable skills in emotional intelligence.
  • The founder's journey – Preventing suicide one swipe at a time
    At the tender age of 18, after co-financing and co-founding a successful retail chain in Tasmania, Amanda was left at a crossroads. She had experienced self made success, acclaim, and mentorship at a young age in retail, but a human element was missing. Following the loss of some friends to suicide, she participated in a mental health training course, leading her to manage a suicide prevention retreat for young people.
    Fast forward to 2015, living in Vaucluse, Australia – alongside a notorious suicide hotspot, “The Gap”, where she would hear the police rescue and helicopters multiple times each week rescuing those who had given up hope, Amanda took action to help. She decided to turn an SMS check-in method she used to care for friends who were battling depression into an app, recruiting some of the leading public health services and professionals in the world.
    The result: a world first, award-winning daily check-in and peer support app which now prevents suicides in 87 countries which has been recognised by TIME, GSMA and The CEO Magazine. In this keynote, Amanda shares her inspiring journey of grit and determination, alongside the milestone moments that taught her how to overcome adversity, create resilience and inspire others.
    Her Founder's Journey keynote is a favourite in the media and on stage that always entertains and inspires audiences.
