She bought laughter, joy and a lightness and at the same time was able to plant seeds of knowledge in our overworked brains.

Amanda was our Closing Keynote speaker at our Congress in Harrison this year.

After three days of intense lectures, workshops and product knowledge, Amanda was exactly what our delegates needed to wrap it all up.

She bought laughter, joy and a lightness and at the same time was able to plant seeds of knowledge in our overworked brains.

Amanda’s ability to intertwine magic with important concepts of Leadership was incredible to watch and unfold. Her delivery was energetic, interactive and funny. Amanda’s passion and skills shone through.

Thank you again, for being a wonderful part of our congress.”

No one teaches what Amanda does. Body language, use of the stage, timing in delivery and it is so important.

The audience LOVED her. I highly highly recommend Amanda as an emcee.

They don’t call her “Amazing Amanda” for nothing! Amanda was the emcee for the first conference I ever put on. I knew I had made the right choice when, two days before the conference, I contacted her (in a wee bit of panic) to go over the last minute details regarding speakers and timing.

She listened to me calmly, then she said: “How about you let me look after all that for you. I’ll do the emcee stuff. Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered.” A wave of relief washed over me.

On the day of the event, Amanda arrived early with her “box of tricks” – she organized the speakers and got the stage set up. The event ran like clockwork. She managed the time carefully and made sure we stayed on schedule. Her segues between speakers were brilliant – she managed to summarize their key point AND be funny.

Her high energy throughout the day kept everyone engaged and laughing (even after lunch!) She has the ability/awareness to be very entertaining without taking a lot of time or upstaging the speakers.

The audience LOVED her. I highly highly recommend Amanda as an emcee.

We brought Amanda back 3 years in a row

When we asked the students who they would like as a speaker, they said "bring the magic lady back" so we invited Amanda back 3 times.

Amanda explored the topics we were going to do that afternoon. She drilled down more deeply than I had.

Amanda tied the magic tricks to discussion points about leadership, courage and discovering our own unique gifts.


We asked Amanda to come give a presentation to a group of student leaders who were in the midst of planning a social justice 24-hour fasting event for the greater student body.

Amanda was punctual, and while having a lot of equipment, was efficient and professional about setup and props during her presentation.

Amanda gave a whole-hearted, passionate, personal, and entertaining presentation about leadership, responsibility, courage, and what it means to lead with others and for others in a spirit humility and gratitude. The visual flair was great!

The magic tricks, of course, were a hit! Amanda tied the magic tricks to discussion points about leadership, courage and discovering our own unique gifts. The students had themselves been fasting, and so were tired, but Amanda charged through with energy and enthusiasm, and humour and that wasn’t lost on the students afterwards.

The visual flair of the magic tricks was great! It kept the students interest, sparked discussion that continued long after Amanda left.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, experience and energy!

Thank you for an engaging and interesting day Amanda!

I did learn a lot and have lots to think about and try.

It was interesting and helpful for me to take the spotlight off content and onto delivery, body language etc. during a presentation.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, experience and energy!

Amanda is a comic genius! I can’t say enough about her intelligence, intuition, sincerity, creativity and coaching skill! ANY speaker would benefit from her workshops!

She NEVER stops making you feel capable

Yes. I have heard her students complain (I was one!) she NEVER stops kidding around, She NEVER stops making you feel capable, She bends over backwards to make you feel you have got the most out of her workshops.......People would be mad ....not to take her classes.
