"Essentially Speaking far exceeded my expectations – and I’m a professional speaker! It was one of the most valuable and enjoyable weekends I’ve had in a long time. A safe and supportive environment, the opportunity to ‘stretch’ and genuine pearls of wisdom from a world-class presenter and facilitator. An outstanding combination. Amanda’s warmth, experience and wicked sense of humour make her a joy to be around. If you can only attend one personal or professional development event this year, make it this one. Your confidence and ability to connect with others will soar."
- Hannah Samuel, The Reputation Champion



"It's hard to convey sufficient appreciation to Amanda, who is perhaps the most generous facilitator I have ever met. Every participant on the course claimed a substantial new domain of confidence, in just 25 hours. We all grew visibly in breadth and height and in our own sense of validation in presenting our truth to others."
- Susanne Vincent Director, Change Leadership Limited



"I have been a trainer and key note speaker for a while now and considered good at what I do but I felt I was missing something. I wanted a "wow" factor that was not always there and hoped you could be the answer so I attended your program. Lady - You are amazing! In a totally trusting and genuine caring way you dismantled the shields I had carefully erected around myself. I would recommend you to anyone wanting to really find the edge they want to produce their best results. The same would apply to any manager of such a team."
- Bill James, Inspired Learning Systems
