Summary Profile

"Amanda Gore is now based in Australia.  She is available for speaking engagements in the USA."

Amanda realizes that there is often a need for two types of biographies. One designed for factual information and then a separate biography designed to appeal to the attendees. We have included both below for your use.

Credentials

Amanda Gore is one of America and Australia's most popular professional speakers. She holds a degree in Physiotherapy, a major in Psychology and is a Master Practitioner of neurolinguistics. She was an ergonomics and occupational health consultant before she started speaking. Amanda is an expert on communications, leadership, and group dynamics. More importantly, perhaps, she has a unique ability to entertain, educate and involve simultaneously.

Frustration with the reactive nature of traditional physiotherapy led Amanda Gore to the more pro-active stance of trying to prevent stress, illness and injury. Now she helps people stay well through research, writing and speaking about stress and lifestyle, relationships and communication.

With her multi-faceted expertise, Amanda Gore explores the mind-body connection in her crusade to reduce stress, improve communication, build personal and professional relationships, and develop teams of collaborative and trusting colleagues. After 15 years of research with the world's leading experts on group dynamics, Amanda has mastered the process level of her presentations so that she carefully orchestrates the presentation of the material to maximize the impact of her information. This craft is what makes the attendees remember Amanda as 'the best speaker they have ever heard' and provides an avenue for real change to occur. She is the author of five books, as well as numerous video and audio programs.

What Audiences Can Expect

We have all seen speakers who can fire up a crowd, or get people laughing, but come Monday morning the laughter and energy are forgotten and it’s back to business as usual.

Amanda is different. She changes people’s behaviours.

After her presentation:
• People take on a new perspective and make lasting behavioural changes
• They remember what they learned for years - a man stood up at the conclusion of a recent session Amanda presented and repeated 3 things he had remembered from a session SEVENTEEN years ago! Two girls said their Mother’s had told them about what she taught 10 years before!
• Feelings determine if we buy, cooperate, learn, engage, connect, communicate and everything else! People walk away from Amanda’s session feeling different, with new skills and techniques - so they behave and think differently.
• The whole conference is up beat, people are energised, engaged, enthusiastic, laughing and the messages are incorporated throughout all the sessions.  It’s true - read her hundreds of testimonials!

Topics

Amanda has a database of stories, lessons and content that she can ‘mix and match’ to create a meaningful message that is directly relevant to the audience, meeting and corporate outcomes.   All her presentations are high energy, funny, practical, use a lot of audience involvement and have serious messages presented in entertaining and memorable stories and activities. Amanda’s presentations can be unique and stand alone, or delivered in parts sequentially or over successive events.  Allow 60- 90 minutes each.

WAKE UP to What Really Matters at Work - and Home!
How to change attitudes, behaviours and outcomes - in a heartbeat. (Part 1)

This presentation is about changing our perceptions which transforms how we behave and feel. Full of laughter, interaction, symbols and specific strategies to improve 2 key areas of emotional intelligence - self knowledge and self management - it makes people feel good about themselves and transforms their thinking and attitudes. It talks about why joy is the next competitive advantage! They will learn to

•    understand the importance of connection in leadership, sales, service, and relationships
•    discover how to celebrate, motivate and encourage themselves and others
•    acknowledge and recognize others
•    deal with stress and change
•    manage beliefs which determine performance
•    laugh more and rediscover joy.

WAKE UP to the Link Between Feelings and Success
How to make others feel good - in a heartbeat. (Part 2)

In this presentation, Amanda teaches people how to bring out the best in others and make them feel good. People always remember how you made them feel.  Working with the latest science from positive psychology and epigenetics, people learn how to
•    motivate and encourage others
•    be authentic, humble and work collaboratively
•    program themselves for excellence
•    unlock the secrets and power of non-verbal communication
•    build strong, lasting relationships and
•    have a positive spirit - not just a positive attitude!

WAKE UP to The Spirit of Leadership 
How to engage people in a heartbeat. (Part 3)

If you want to change an organisation, you have to lead with a Change of Heart - a Change of Spirit. The spirit in which we do anything determines the outcome, whether positive or negative.  People are no longer a company's most important asset; the spirit in which they do things is!  People with a positive spirit are inspired, motivated, excited about what they do, and create strong, lasting relationships. Once our hearts are engaged in what we are doing, and we see what we do as fulfilling work - not just as a job, then how we work is transformed.  This purpose/spirit driven culture is the culture of the future. The new generations are demanding it, baby boomers are seeking it, and everyone wants it! This keynote radically affects the group dynamics - it breaks down barriers so that learning, networking and connection continue not only during the meeting, but for the long term. This session is full of techniques that will help leaders


• bring out people's positive spirits,
• inspire them to change or handle any business challenge creatively,
• motivate them to be their best and create collaborative teams

WAKE UP to Profitable Joy!
How to bust stress, eradicate fear and build morale - in a heartbeat. (Part 4)

Change and stress go hand in hand. Learning about how the brain actually can and does change (neuroplasticity); that adults learn more quickly than children; and that our brains need change to stay vibrant and alert transforms the way people perceive change. This means instead of being a stressor - change can be welcomed as an opportunity to grow and develop - and live, fully alive, longer!  This is a fun session designed to
•    address todays tough economic climate
•    to put things in perspective and
•    have people refocus on what’s important.

WAKE UP to What Makes Relationships Work - at Work
How to bridge the gender gap in a heartbeat.  (or Brain Sex!) (Part 5)

Yes, men and women are from different planets, but a slight shift in perception is all it takes to have them understanding, appreciating and admiring each other for unique talents. Relationships are like living breathing organisms and they need nurturing, watering and care.  In this session find out what the other person wants and needs, and how to nurture. It's very funny - and VERY useful for life and work!   This session can be related to sales, customer service, negotiating, call centres, business relationships, or personal relationships and can focus on gender differences or not!  Amanda teaches
•    specific ways to communicate with the opposite sex
•    and practical tools that will help avoid conflict and build trust
