The questions everyone asks
How is this different from psychological safety training?
Most of that work is about making people comfortable enough to raise concerns. Useful, but it is not what I do. I am interested in something narrower and more valuable. Your people were hired for a specific thing they can see or do that nobody else in the business can. My work is about why that specific thing stops arriving, what it costs you when it does, and how to build a place where it turns up on its own. Do you have anything a board can actually adopt? Check out my Human Latitude™ Policy.
How will this benefit our organisation?
Amanda’s keynotes help organisations identify the hidden gap between the capability they hire and the value they actually receive - when people edit their thinking, perspective and expertise before it reaches the room. Will this work for leaders and high-performing teams? Yes. This is not about disengagement or poor performance; it is about uncovering the invisible moments where experienced people soften, adjust or hold back the insights that could lead to better decisions and outcomes.
How do I check availability and pricing?
Keynote fees start at $5,000 plus travel for an Australian corporate booking, and go up depending on the day, the format and the preparation involved. Workshops are quoted separately. If you have a fixed budget, put the number in your first email and I will tell you honestly whether it works, rather than sending you a proposal you cannot use. Still deciding? A 15-minute call will tell you if this is right for your team.
Is the content safe for a corporate audience? It sounds confronting.
Not every keynote runs at the same register. Tell me which one you're looking at and I'll tell you what to expect in the room. Either way, I've led global mental health for a major corporate and I work frontline crisis response, so I know where that line sits. Nobody gets used as an example. Nobody gets asked to share anything. People leave seeing themselves more clearly, not picked apart.
What formats does Amanda speak in?
Keynotes, workshops, panels, podcasts and media. The format changes, the job does not. I say out loud what the room has already worked out and decided not to mention.
Where is Amanda based, and does she travel?
I'm based in Sydney, Australia, and speak across Australia and internationally - in person or virtual. Travel is quoted with the engagement, no surprises.
How long is a keynote, and can it be tailored?
Keynotes typically run 45-60 minutes plus Q&A, and every one is tailored - I'll talk to you beforehand about where playing small is showing up in your organisation, so the room hears their own patterns, not a generic talk. Each keynote also has a paired half-day or full-day workshop if you want the ideas to land as practice, not just insight.
