Amanda’s IWD keynote is an insightful and action-driven session that challenges conventional leadership models and champions inclusion, collaboration, and innovation. Expect:

  • Personal stories and lived experiences from seeking mentorship at 16 to leading AI-driven companies with global impact.

  • Actionable strategies for inclusive leadership with evidence-based tools to cultivate diverse, high-performing teams.

  • Fresh methodologies in workplace equality that break barriers in leadership, STEM, and beyond.

Amanda’s keynote goes beyond celebrating progress. It provides a roadmap for the future. She will empower organisations to:

  • Transform leadership from power and dominance to empathy and inclusion.

  • Create equity in action beyond policies to lived, everyday experiences.

  • Champion intersectionality by ensuring inclusion for all women and girls, including those from diverse backgrounds, abilities, and identities.

  • Elevate voices so everyone has a seat at the table and a voice in decision-making.

Amanda will share her proprietary evidence-based leadership frameworks and workplace solutions, ensuring every attendee walks away inspired and equipped to drive change. The outcome is a transformational International Women’s Day experience that extends beyond March.
