You were born with the capacity for joy! Science shows us that by the time you were 7, your pure ‘operating system’ of love and joy was infected with viruses, malware, apps and other people’s programs! Joy at work boosts sales by 37%, increases productivity 31%, reduces errors 18% and boosts chances of promotion 40%. Joy matters! Your brain can be rewired for joy. This session teaches you how.

It’s aimed at helping people feel good about themselves - which is the essence of wellness and changes the way they interact with everyone else. It’s great for energizing the whole group, de-stressing them and reframing the way they view change, have them rolling around laughing while they learn about the importance of 'the joy spot' - the place where neuroscience, epigenetics, emotional intelligence and positive psychology intersect! Amanda presents profound concepts, in an entertaining way that change people's perceptions of themselves and others; gives them specific strategies to bust stress, lead more effectively, fear less, and to be more collaborative, creative, innovative and productive.

Amanda will cover the latest new science of stress - which will not only show you how to reduce the impact of stress, but also how to change your reactions to it permanently! Did you know that what people think about stress or stressful situations is the 15th biggest killer of humans in the USA? And it is potentially a source of great resilience, productivity, engagement and courage when handled correctly.

The major disruptor to collaborative teams, joy filled workplaces and high production, sales and service is ‘stinking thinkin’ as Zig Ziglar used to say! The stories people tell themselves about themselves, their colleagues, customers, bosses and the company determines their behaviour.

This presentation helps people understand how to be conscious and mindful of their thinking and stories - and how to change them. And more importantly, why to change them. The formula T+ S = F …thinking (stories) + speaking = feeling - rules everything. How we think determines how we feel, which determines how we behave - but the source of everything is our thinking. 95% of the time we are operating from an unconscious level - we don’t even know what we are thinking! Everything in business, when boiled down, is about feelings. They determine the quality of all relationships at work, leadership, teamwork, sales and customer service.

If you want to change an organization, you have to lead with a change of heart—a change of spirit. The spirit in which we do anything determines the outcome, whether positive or negative. People are no longer a company's most important asset; the spirit in which they do things is! People with a positive spirit are inspired, motivated, excited about what they do, and create strong, lasting relationships. Once our hearts are engaged in what we are doing, and we see what we do as fulfilling work—not just as a job, then how we work is transformed. This purpose-/spirit-driven culture is the culture of the future. The new generations are demanding it, Baby Boomers are seeking it, and everyone wants it! This keynote radically affects group dynamics—it breaks down barriers so that learning, networking, and connection continue not only during the meeting, but for the long term. This session is full of techniques that will help leaders:

• Bring out people's positive spirits.
• Inspire them to change or handle any business challenge creatively.
• Motivate them to be their best and create collaborative teams.

Traditional sales courses focus on communication styles and techniques that are still important but everyone knows them. Teach your team the latest subtle verbal and non-verbal techniques to create partnerships—not just relationships—with your clients or customers. Partnerships are the next level to aspire towards—while everyone else is just working on relationships, you can be focused on creating true long term partnerships!

There are many secrets to enhancing rapport, connection, and delivering unpalatable messages without destroying relationship as well as building ongoing loyalty with customers or clients. All relate to our ability to communicate and connect. This session explores how to find out what our clients really want, at much deeper levels than before, which then allows us to serve their real needs better than our competitors—and with more flexibility, options and choices.
