Speaker Spotlight Story of Amanda Gore

A Moment That Still Makes Her Smile

After one of Amanda’s keynotes, a very conservative CEO walked up to her and said, “FAN – F***ING – TASTIC.” While it may not be printable for most programs, Amanda considers it one of the most authentic and hilarious compliments she has ever received. It was real, memorable, and unfiltered—just like the experience she creates for every audience.

Behind the Scenes: Making the Message Stick

Amanda believes the key to a successful session lies in the speaker’s energy and their ability to stay connected with the audience, even nonverbally. For her, it’s never just a presentation. It’s an experience. Attendees don’t just sit and listen. They engage, laugh, cry, and learn.

One woman approached Amanda with a photo from an event they attended together 21 years ago. She still remembered the talk and proudly quoted phrases Amanda had used. Another person said she had seen Amanda 30 years earlier and still uses something she learned that day. That kind of lasting impact does not come from information alone. It comes from how the information is delivered and felt.

A Message That Resonates for Decades

At the core of Amanda’s message is her mission to help people see differently so they can feel and behave differently. While she may not say it outright, her goal is to reduce fear, encourage presence, and create environments where people feel safe, joyful, and connected.

She blends neuroscience, psychology, humor, and practical tools into a presentation that feels more like a shared human experience than a formal talk. As a result, people walk away lighter and carry her insights into their families, workplaces, and daily lives.

Turning Challenges Into Connection

Amanda rarely has events she considers unsuccessful, but she recalls one after-dinner talk from years ago where the crowd—an all-male, heavily intoxicated group—was uninterested in listening. Instead of forcing the presentation, she respectfully exited early and offered a refund. That experience taught her to choose audiences where connection is truly possible. Since then, she has delivered unforgettable sessions that leave attendees inspired and emotionally engaged.

Customized Content for Maximum Relevance

Amanda never gives the same talk twice. She has developed hundreds of message components she can pull from to craft a session that matches the goals and tone of each audience. Before the event, she meets with clients, attends other sessions, and talks to attendees to understand the energy and context. Then, on stage, she adjusts in real time based on the group’s response.

This high level of personalization ensures that each audience feels seen and heard, and that the event planner feels like the keynote was tailored just for them.

What Sets Amanda Apart

Amanda studied nonverbal communication with Michael Grinder, the world’s leading expert in the field, for 30 years. Her presentations go beyond what she says. She pays close attention to how she says it and how it lands with the audience. While her stage presence feels joyful and spontaneous, every movement and transition is rooted in intention and experience.

She delivers actionable content in a way that fosters behavior change, personal insight, emotional connection, and even community bonding. People often end up singing, laughing, or even hugging by the end of her keynotes.

Keeping the Audience Fully Engaged

Amanda is known for her high energy and dynamic delivery. What keeps people engaged is the variety she brings. She uses stories, science, humor, music, flip charts, and interaction to keep things fresh. Audiences often say, “I want your energy,” or “I can’t believe that was 90 minutes. It felt like 10.”

She guides the audience through curiosity, laughter, and deep emotional moments. Every movement and shift in tone is carefully chosen to maintain attention and connection.

The Impact of Real Human Connection

Amanda’s influence often extends far beyond the event. One CEO told her that her message shaped the way he led his company. Dozens of parents have told her they’ve taught their children what they learned in her sessions, and now those children are passing the same messages on to their own families.

These stories are a reminder of Amanda’s deeper mission: to help people change how they think, feel, and connect—with themselves and with others.

A Speaker That Planners Trust

Event organizers love working with Amanda. She shows up early, connects with the team, and brings a humble, team-player mindset. Whether it’s adjusting to last-minute changes or pitching in behind the scenes, she is easy to work with and focused on making the event a success. Clients often say things like, “That was the best session we’ve ever had,” or “You made my job easier.”

Topics That Tackle Real-World Challenges

Amanda specializes in mental health, communication, and leadership through emotional intelligence. In a time where anxiety and uncertainty are still widespread, she offers insight and tools that help people reconnect with joy, communicate clearly, and create environments where others can thrive.

Making Virtual Feel Just as Real

Amanda’s virtual keynotes are just as engaging as her in-person talks. She has built a home studio, studied quantum physics, and developed techniques that help her “enter the room” through the camera. Audiences often say they felt like she was right there with them.

She uses professional lighting, music, flip charts, storytelling, and energy to create a virtual experience that feels human and alive, not just another meeting on a screen.
