Amanda Gore is one of Australia’s and the USA’s favourite conference keynote speakers. All of her sessions can also be delivered virtually – with as much impact as live!

Amanda is CEO of The Joy Project, an author, speaker, Huffington Post columnist and business woman. She is one of 4 Australians inducted into the USA Speaker Hall of Fame. She is a CSP and has won both Educator of the Year and Keynote Speaker of the Year awards from National Speakers Association.

She works with small and large organisations like Google, McDonalds, Wells Fargo, Allstate, MDRT, Re/max, Disney, Hilton, Not For Profits, The Direct Selling and many other associations, hospitals and schools to help them create cultures of joy and engagement and to bring the humanity back into their leadership and organisations.

In this age of unlearning the ways we used to work and live and re-learning new ways to engage and connect with our teams – and live our lives, mental health issues are sky rocketing. Joy increases productivity 31%, sales 37% and reduces burnout 125% and is the antidote to our mental health crisis. There are many aspects of Joy that can be taught that can transform mindsets – and hearts. Creating joyful cultures and actually focusing on joy as a business strategy is smart!

Along with many others, Amanda’s world as a speaker was transformed overnight with COVID. Her journey of pivoting and re evaluating everything she was doing has deepened her level of empathy and experience and has given her many new stories and concepts that are so relevant for adapting to ongoing change, new ways of working, disconnection as well as strategies for staying mentally, emotionally and physically well. Which all revolve around how we choose to perceive what is going on in our lives.

To make her virtual presentations as effective as her live ones, Amanda has a professional quality studio set up and specialises on ‘personally’ connecting through the camera. She has taught people in the past how to be engaging and lively on video so she knows how to make a virtual presentation or pre record appear live – and how to really connect with individuals or groups watching via video – using the principles of quantum physics and group dynamics.

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.

She uses latest research in neuroscience, positive psychology, quantum physics, epigenetics, and emotional intelligence, to help business leaders achieve the results they need by getting people engaged in, enthusiastic about and aligned with corporate goals and vision. And by creating joyful workplaces – both remote and office based – that lead to better performance.

For too long business has been paralysed by its over analysis of data.  Amanda will help you re-connect to the energy and emotional layers that really drive performance, innovation, relationships, engagement and creativity in business and life.  Virtually, pre recorded, hybrid or live.

Within a few short minutes, Amanda breaks down the barriers that separate people, and from that moment forward it’s fun, invigorating, action packed ride towards self discovery and ultimately, real and lasting change. Through funny, energising presentations, enhanced by decades of scientific discovery and personal experience, Amanda will both entertain, facilitate changes behaviour and move your audience to action.

Her programs (virtually or live) change the tone of your conference, whether by kick-starting it with laughter and connecting people by breaking down barriers, opening their hearts and minds to learning or sending your attendees off on an emotional and inspired high.

Author of five books and several online, DVD and audio training programs, she researches for 2 months every year and has a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy, a major in psychology, is a master practitioner of neurolinguistics and has expertise in neuroscience, ergonomics, positive psychology, group dynamics, stress management, and emotional intelligence.

“Amanda has been my ’secret weapon’ to energise culture and connectivity in teams.”
Gerry Cunningham. Board Leadership Fellow at NACD

THE BIG RE-SET - How to Re-Inspire, Re-Focus and Re-Store meaning

We have never experienced a time like this before. Mental health issues are skyrocketing. Fear and uncertainty are undermining people's health and their relationships. Now, more than ever, we need to re-frame everything that is going on and educate people and give them the skills to deal with the 'uncertain, changing every day, new normal'. To keep teams connected, motivated and maintaining a sense of purpose and belonging, is challenging in good times when everyone is physically present. It's a whole new world working from home, dealing with children at home and working and being totally disconnected physically from others. Not to mention those who have found themselves unemployed. I designed this material to address all the above issues and re-store some sense of control in people no matter where they are. And to establish the deep connections people are craving. This whole experience can be seen as a time of devastation and depression - or it can be seen as an opportunity to do many things that can make positive changes in our lives, and ... Re-activate our full human potential and our humanity. To fill us with life force. To fully engage in life and living. To re-create the life we really want. To re-engage us with our passion, meaning and purpose at work. The choice is ours. This keynote gives you the tools and mindset to choose wisely. ...less

You were born with the capacity for joy! Science shows us that by the time you were 7, your pure 'operating system' of love and joy was infected with viruses, malware, apps and other people's programs!

This session teaches you how. It includes how to stop stress killing you; how to be resilient; how to be your best version; how to re-focus on what matters, and take responsibility for your choices and behaviour! 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 and team. This keynote is aimed at helping people feel good about themselves - which changes the way they interact with everyone else - colleagues, clients and family. Amanda presents profound concepts, in an entertaining way that: - Changes people's perceptions of themselves and others - Engages and energises - Gives them specific strategies to bust stress, lead more effectively, fear less, deal with change and collaborate effectively. Amanda will cover the latest new sciences of stress, epigenetics, emotional intelligence and neuroscience - which will not only show you how to reduce the impact of stress, but also how to change your reactions to it permanently! Did you know that what people believe about stress or stressful situations is the 15th biggest killer of humans in the USA? But it is potentially a source of great resilience, productivity, engagement and courage when handled correctly. It's time to get real about what is really causing our stress. ...less

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.

THE JOYFUL TEAM - How a Growth Mindset, Engages, Motivates and Changes Cultures

Did you know that science shows us 95-99% of the time we are literally UN-conscious of our thinking and beliefs? Only 5% of the time are we present and really aware of what is going on inside us! The stories we tell ourselves i.e. what we are thinking literally creates our life, performance and relationships. This session teaches how to change your thinking/story - which changes the life you create - at work and home! The major disruptor to collaborative teams, joy filled workplaces and high performance sales and service is 'stinking thinkin' as Zig Ziglar used to say! One energy sucker will bring the whole group down. Beliefs, the stories we tell themselves about ourselves, our colleagues, customers, bosses and the company determines our feelings and behaviour. Our beliefs control our nonverbal communication which affect all relationships. Our beliefs determine the culture we create around us and the unconscious choices we are making every moment. It's time to remember we control our thinking and we choose to make conscious choices or not. This session can change perceptions, relationships, personal accountability, enthusiasm, engagement, energy and culture. But wait - there's more! It can also help people adopt a more positive approach to change. While they laugh. ...less
THE JOY FORMULA - 7 Ways to Build Resilience, Joyful Hearts and Restore Work Life Balance. It is Possible!

New research shows us what we believe about stress decides if our bodies react negatively or not. Our perceptions rule our reality and in part, create our environment. How we think about life balance also determines the physiological and psychological impact. The Joy Formula is a simple and easy way to review important aspects of our lives and become aware of imbalances that then allows us to make a plan to improve that balance - or at least, make us feel we have a sense of control over our lives! 'Busy-ness' is the new 'disease' impacting almost everyone. Rushing and having the perception (and reality) of 'too much to do' can destroy mental clarity and physical health. Constant social media comparisons and addictions don't help. Understanding the 3 possible stress responses and channelling them in the right way changes everything! How we feel, how we respond to those events and how others in turn respond or react. Amanda will discuss The Life Pizza which is a simple and easy way to review important aspects of our lives and become aware of imbalances in areas that are most important to us, and what areas we put most of our attention on - which then allows us to make a plan to improve that balance. This is an engaging experience that sends people out of the room laughing and determined to balance their 'life pizza'! ...less
THE JOY OF MINDSETS - 3 Must-Have Skills for Change

You are not your mindset - but your mindset creates your life! Understanding mindsets and mindfulness literally changes your brain and improves performance, leadership, decision making, creativity; reduces anxiety, stress, depression and reactivity; they increase energy, wellbeing and makes you happier. This session will show you simple ways to stop being mindless, be more present, more effective - and more joyful! Being mindful is 'waking up' - about becoming more conscious - and living more consciously - which is one of Amanda's core themes. 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. Think driving a car. How mindful were you in your first few lessons? Now, how often do you arrive home and you don't even know how you got there - yet you were driving the car! This is a common theme with anything we learn - we are mindful in the beginning and then we become mindless! The difference between a growth mindset and a fixed one is the difference between a joyful life and a stressed, unhappy one; between a joyful team and a disfunctional one; a great culture or a toxic one. ...less
