Putting the Heart and Fun back into ASSOCIATIONS!
Amanda’s ability to transform complete strangers into good friends in a very short space of time is one of the reasons she has done so much association work. Her appeal seems to be universal depending on her topic- so the make up of the group is irrelevant. She can gear the information for very senior levels, middle or manufacturing levels. She can also link the importance of belonging to the association to a number of the skills she teaches the audience.

Originally, Amanda qualified as a physiotherapist from the University of Queensland where she majored in psychology and then worked in hospitals for the next five years.
During the next few years, she specialised in private practice focusing on sports, back and neck injuries. She then started her own business in ergonomics and occupational health consulting, working in all areas of business, government and manufacturing. During this time, she co-authored a book called “Pause Gymnastics” and authored others called “The Office Athlete” and “Stress Busters.”
For the last 20 years, she has been a speaker on wellness, stress management, and lifestyle issues as well as communication, relationships and leadership. She has spoken for most of the medical and pharmaceutical organizations in Australia and a number in the USA – both for their staff and their clients. Amanda has done at least two Australia-wide tours for both pharmaceutical and medical clients of Astra Zeneca and Novartis in addition to speaking for hospitals, nursing groups, occupational health, dental and medical associations and a multitude of industry conventions.
Her background in physical therapy, psychology, ergonomics, sales, stress and communications together with her experience in hospitals and private practice provides Amanda with a unique understanding of the needs of the people within the Healthcare industry.
