The Spirit of Leadership
If you want to change an organization, you have to lead with a Change of Heart - a Change of Spirit. The spirit in which we do anything determines the outcome, whether positive or negative. People with a positive spirit are inspired, motivated, excited about what they do, and therefore create strong, lasting relationships. This session is full of techniques that will bring out the positive spirit of every attendee, inspire them to handle change or any business challenge creatively, motivate them to be their best, and foster collaborative teamwork. This purpose/spirit driven culture is the culture of the future. The new generations are demanding it, baby boomers are seeking it, and everyone wants it! This keynote radically affects the group dynamics - it breaks down barriers so that learning, networking and connection continue not only during the meeting, but for the long term.

Live Out Loud (Part One)
This presentation makes people feel good about themselves, gives the skills of emotional intelligence and transforms their thinking.

Lead Out Loud (Part Two)
This presentation teaches people how to make others feel good. "People will forget what you say, they will forget what you do, but they will never forget how you made them feel," Carl Buechner. Audiences will learn how to motivate and encourage others better, be authentic at all times, program themselves for excellence, unlock the secrets and power of non-verbal communication, be humble and work collaboratively, build strong, lasting relationships and how to have a positive spirit - not just a positive attitude!

Communicate Your Way to Success or Put the Zing Back in Your Fling!
Whether genetic or environmental, the differences in communication styles between men and women are significant. Understanding non verbal communication and the different ways we think and operate helps us have smoother interactions and avoid professional and personal misunderstandings. Although Amanda uses a lot of humour with this session, there are many useful and important distinctions that are highlighted so people can make dramatic changes in their understanding of what is going on, and then have more choices over how to behave.

Relationships are like living breathing organisms and they need nurturing and watering and care - just like real plants. How to do this nurturing specifically is what you will learn in this session - and how to find out what the other person wants and needs. It`s very funny - and VERY useful for life and work!
