About Amanda
Amanda is a woman with an extraordinary life story. Audiences love the lessons of character building and courage which she shares in her keynote talks.
These are lessons that everyone needs, to achieve greater success.
Amanda survived being prematurely born in the 70’s when most early premature babies were not deemed viable. At birth she was roughly the same size and weight as a half full bottle of wine. Amanda needed oxygen to help her breathe for many weeks after her birth. While this oxygen saved her life, it caused damage to her eyes, resulting in total blindness. From then on, Amanda has continued to surprise people with her professional and personal achievements, including graduating with honours in Law from the Australian National University, and climbing to an altitude of over 10,000ft in Nepal.
After a surprise redundancy from her 17-year legal career, Amanda sold skincare products in a network marketing business, retrained as a John C Maxwell speaker, trainer and coach, and started a podcast. Along the way Amanda discovered that her life’s purpose is to inspire and encourage others to reach their full potential. She has since written two books on the subject, the latest being Seeing By Vision Not By Sight: How To Discover Your Life’s Purpose And Put It Into Action, and now shares her message of courage, and purpose with audiences across the globe.
Amanda has made a number of television appearances, including appearing on ABC News (Australia), 60 Minutes Australia, and The Midday Show. She has also done quite a number of radio and podcast interviews.
Does your life lack meaning or significance?
After being made redundant, I ran a network marketing business for 2 years. While this taught me a great deal about myself, I never did find the meaning and significance that I thought that running my own business would bring, and eventually decided that this would never be my primary source of income..
At around the same time that I came to this conclusion, I was given the opportunity to train as a John C Maxwell speaker, teacher, trainer and coach. I had already been exposed to John Maxwell’s material in my network marketing business, and it had had a profound effect on my life. So, I decided to do the training, so that I could share this material with others.
You really can lead a meaningful and fulfilling life
It was like a light had been switched on. As I started to live out my purpose, I discovered a new energy for life. My friends and family started commenting on how well and happy I looked. For the first time in my life, I felt that I was doing what I was meant to do.
Are you doing what you were meant to do?
If you choose to work with me, I’ll help you discover your purpose, see your vision and create your future, so you can lead a happy and fulfilled life.
I look forward to working with you!
