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.

Putting the Heart and Fun back into HEALTHCARE!

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 15 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 here - 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.

Putting the Heart and Fun back into INSURANCE!

Amanda seems to be a favorite of the insurance and financial industries! She has spoken at Million Dollar Round Table twice and to every Insurance company in Australia a number of times! She has also spoken for many American Insurance companies…either at their annual conference or to their delegates on incentive trips. One of the aspects about Amanda that makes her popular is that most people in the insurance industries have 'seen it all' in terms of speakers! Amanda is different, works so well at group dynamics and group process, and has so much content, that they invite her back repeatedly.
