“I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. She is a very skilled, polished presenter with a powerful message for the audience based on her lived experience. Honest, authentic and authoritative – she shares openly and bravely and does so in a compelling way that appropriately translates her experience into meaningful lessons. She is a consummate professional speaker; she is also a high engaging and warm person – everyone who meets her feels touched by her rare presence and kindness. A singular speaker/presenter that you'll never forget having heard.”

“Once she started speaking, no one in the room moved; their total attention was on Amanda. Dropping lesson after lesson on cultivating optimism, growing resilience, and healing from challenges- you could hear a pin drop. She received a standing ovation, which is a first for our Leadership Series. I don't think people will easily forget what she had to say.”

“She was amazing, spectacular, uplifting, articulate….the list goes on and on. She is in my humble opinion the best speaker we have ever had! Not sure how or if we will ever be able to top her.”
