Amanda Gore

Amanda Gore's Biography

Engaged by organisations worldwide, communications and performance expert Amanda Gore, focuses on teaching businesses the importance of happy employees and it's direct impact on productivity. Working with some of the worlds leading organisations, Amanda has helped business leaders tap into the energy and emotional layers that drive performance, and in turn reap significant results on not only the bottom line, but the entire culture of corporations.

Amanda has a degree in Physiotherapy, a major in Psychology and is a Master Practitioner of nerolinguistics. She practiced as an ergonomics and occupational health consultant before frustration at the reactive nature of physiotherapy led her to the more pro-active stance of trying to prevent stress, illness and injury.

Amanda now has over 25 years experience as a keynote speaker, working with corporations and individuals to help people reconnect with the energy and emotional layers that drive performance, innovation, relationships, engagement and creativity in business and in life. Taking the stance that business has been paralysed by its own over-analysis, Amanda's presentations break down the barriers that separate people in an invigorating, action packed ride towards self-discovery and ultimately real and lasting change.

Speaking to groups as small as 12 and as large as 15,000, Amanda makes the argument that people who are happy at work are 31% more productive, sell 35% more and are three times more creative. They make better team players, handle change more effectively, become more positive and are much more engaged. It is Amanda's mission to make audiences happier - for a long time - and she gives them strategies that work on how to stay happier. After 15 years of research with the world's leading experts on group dynamics, Amanda has mastered the ability to customise her presentations for maximum impact to her audience.

Based in the United States for eight years, Amanda was voted one of the top three speakers by leading speakers' bureaus and in 2007 she was voted 'Favourite Speaker' by Meeting Professionals International. In 2009 she was inducted into the US Speakers Hall of Fame by the National Speakers Association. That same year she was voted one of the hottest 25 speakers in the USA by Speakers Magazine and in Australia she received the Keynote Presenter Award for Excellence by the National Speakers Association of Australia.

Amanda is contracted by some of the world's largest corporations to assist business leaders in achieving results by getting people engaged in, enthusiastic about and aligned with corporate goals and vision.

In between delivering an average of 60 presentations each year in Australia and the US, Amanda has written five books, produced several DVD and audio visual training programs and has accumulated over one million views on her YouTube channel.
