Amanda's presentation was excellent. We chose Amanda because of our mental wellness theme and I'd say her story of resilience was off-the-charts. In the face of pain, solitude and uncertainly - she kept going and as she said - under the most extreme conditions it was life that chose her. It is a message of hope.

Amanda's story, and the moving way she shares it, served as the perfect close to our Fortune Magazine Summit. The 900+ CEOs and top executives were brought to tears and cheers as they received a message that put the significant pressures they face every day into perspective. One CEO shared with me that he had faced a $500 million loss which has been obviously weighing on him, but Amanda's keynote gave him a new lens through which to view the impact - it was just money!

As Education Officer the pressure is on to deliver so picking a speaker is a bit of a leap of faith. Amanda's story and delivery was simply stunning, you could hear a pin drop in the room. Her engagement with the audience in the Q&A added details and layers to her story, there was nothing scripted there - her compassion and authenticity really shone thru. First standing ovation in any of our chapter events.

Once she started speaking, no one in the room moved; their total attention was on Amanda. You could hear a pin drop. She received a standing ovation, which is a first for our Leadership Series. I don't think people will easily forget what she had to say.

She was amazing, spectacular, lovely, uplifting, articulate....the list goes on and on. She is in my humble option the best speaker we have ever had! Not sure how or if we will ever be able to top her.
