Ready EmpowerED™

Your visit was overwhelmingly positively received by our Faculty & Staff! I have been getting thank you’s left and right for having you in, as well as requests for you to come back and speak with our adults again but also our students!

I want to first and foremost thank you for such a thought-provoking presentation today. I can’t remember the last time I listened to a PD that I so thoroughly enjoyed. We were told afterward that Amanda was the best presenter we’ve had in the past two years—and that we need to have her back.

I’ve never had a guest speaker impact so many students. Amanda’s connection with them was unbelievable—she is a rare treasure.

I want to thank you so much for presenting at two of our PD sessions this component. The counselors really enjoyed each presentation and can’t wait to have you back!

Thank you for the outstanding professional development presentation, Empower Yourself: Understanding and Managing Anxiety, for our ESSAA organization. We especially appreciated the opportunity for meaningful self-reflection guided by your thoughtful questions and perspective.

Amanda is truly inspiring and evokes a true sense of “I CAN make a difference” in the world in big and small ways! Amanda has the “It Factor” that draws people to listen

I have to say you BLEW ME AWAY! Something about the title obviously attracted me to sign up, but I honestly didn’t expect to really be so absorbed… like you said, there are so many meetings that are a waste of our time. This was absolutely not one of them. I think I am a fairly intuitive person that can figure out and control “emotions” on my own, but I felt like you were in my apartment talking directly to me. Every single picture spoke to me. I feel so vulnerable and exposed, ha ahaa!

As a survivor myself of domestic violence, I wish someone had spoken to me the way Amanda spoke to these women. Her compassion and empowerment were truly impactful.
