Amanda Gore

Testimonials

"Amanda what can I say... you were a smash hit! We did a quick review of the evaluation forms for the meeting and of course you received the highest marks and some of the most complimentary comments, many of whom demanded that we have you back EVERY year! My expectations were only exceeded by the real you. And I can`t get that darn song "Always look on the bright side of life" out of my head! The next two days we were there after you had gone it seemed as though everyone was humming that tune, and we even sang it at the Chairman`s Ball! You brought a powerful message wrapped in fun and silliness which made it enjoyable as well as informative."
Aluminum Extruders Association

"Your talk took an audience of 6,000, already energized by a great program, to a new level. No wonder you were the only one of some of the world`s greatest speakers on 4 days of main platform programming, to get 3 standing ovations. Even for the MDRT--that`s pretty special. The 4 1/2 minutes standing ovation was unprecedented. You should be delighted by the response of your presentation. You changed lives and gave people ways to brighten their days and look on the bright side of life. You are a special and gifted lady. It will not be long before you are the hottest US speaker around."
Million Dollar Round Table

"You`ll be very pleased to know that your wonderful gestures and sayings have really caught on in my own department. Just yesterday, I went downstairs to my Help Desk because one of our associates had won a gift certificate at a United Way meeting that they attended. Everyone wanted her to do a "Ta Da"! I also overheard someone else ask the other "What`s the Best Thing that`s Happened to You Today!" and they are all learning to "Build a Bridge and Get Over It" when things happen and there`s no sense in holding onto it! I`m sure the same thing is going on in our sales offices across the US! You are a gift that keeps on giving! You were right...it has given them another language to use that connects them and puts laughter back into the workplace!"
MetLife

"I have spent most of this week out visiting the stores and attending store meetings and events. Wow!! It is catching on. Everyone is using the tools you gave them and wanting more. I sure messed up by not having you come speak to us sooner. I make financial decisions every day about how to use our budget and invest our money in different resources. You are the best investment I have made yet. We will earn `dividends` for a long time."
Wells Fargo

"I just wanted to drop you a note to personally thank you for the unbelievable presentation you put on for us at our YPO University last week. I had heard it was possible, but until I saw a room full of President`s linking hands and whistling through Always Look on the Bright Side of Life with my own eyes, I wouldn`t have actually believed it. Your session survey results were great
they love you (and that makes me look great). I also appreciated your `low-tech` philosophy and hands on approach before your presentation. Also, please pass on my thanks to Somer who was extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with."
Young Presidents Organization

"The critiques that I previewed gave you the highest of ratings. I was worried that the presentation would be too long for this group to sit but everyone thought you should have had more time. Figure that out! I did a presentation at one of our larger companies yesterday and the folks that attended your session raved about you. So you made me look good too!"
Cendant Corporation

"Our company tends to be very conservative and, truth be told, probably a little difficult to please. We are a tough crowd. There were undoubtedly `safer` choices than you... I had nothing to worry about. You were hilarious, amazing, touching and unforgettable. I would have thought it unthinkable to have everyone be pleased with your performance, but I have literally not heard one negative word!"
Meldisco

"We had Amanda kick our conference off - and she made the difference between a good conference and a GREAT conference. Amanda`s message and the tone she set carried through the next two days."
Wells Fargo

"Since Amanda`s time with our employees, I`ve heard a lot of positive, enthusiastic comments and the employees say encouraging words to each other. It is as though a new language was introduced into our workplace."
CoastHills Federal Credit Union

"Based on evaluations collected on-site, your session was the highest rated of over 30 sessions. We had several attendees tell us that your session was not only the best session that they attended this year, but also the best they`ve ever attended with ASA or any other group."
American Staffing Association

"No doubt the 5,000 plus who experienced your presentation have returned home with a fresh outlook, new ideas, creative techniques and a revitalized commitment to value every business and personal relationship. In the real estate business, that always translates to more repeat business, more referrals, more business in general and an improved `bottom line,` AND a happier home life."
RE/MAX

"There was even a standing ovation as I bid farewell. Having said that, I would be completely remiss if I did not share with you that you struck a chord with the entire group. And you know it was a very skeptical group."
Hard Rock Cafe

"Meeting planners have to ask themselves if the speaker that they are looking to hire is worth what they paid. I am here to tell any meeting planner who wants to know, the answer is YES. Amanda is worth every penny and about $60,000 more! I have hired speakers who charge $40,000 and more and they did not leave the audience with a fraction of what Amanda did."
Business and Professional Women USA

"A tribute to your magnetic presentation was when so many of the participants willingly danced around and interacted. I have never been so pleasantly surprised by how you were able to enlist eve our most "stand-offish" participants."
Texas Society of Association Executives

"Thank you especially for taking the time to understand our company, our Consultants, and our current needs. It`s clear you did your homework well, and that increased the responsiveness of our field leaders."
The Pampered Chef

"Having just completed its second merger in 2 years, and a third due by year-end, emphasis was on introducing and unifying the staff... Amanda`s message was right on target! She packed a lot of information and guidance into a brief timeframe, within which she managed to break an iceberg of conservatism, and had us all singing and `zooting` together at the end."
Phillips 66 Company

"Our audience of advanced practice nurses and social workers are difficult to reach, they`re tired, burned out with the healthcare system, and fairly cynical souls - and your energizing enthusiasm literally astounded them all - for me especially as I saw the attendees actually touching and hugging one another! Wow, I didn`t think it was possible!"
Case Management Society of America

"Amanda Gore brings a level of energy, enthusiasm, humor, and intelligence far above the conventional `motivational speaker` you may be seeking for your next meeting. If you want to make your meeting memorable, and I do mean memorable (attendees are still talking about her presentation and message), and send people home on a high note, Amanda is the speaker for you."
