Summary

Amanda Gore is a global teacher of joy and one of only four Australians inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame.

As one of the most admired speakers, Amanda's action-packed presentations are rooted in science-based tools to equip others to better handle change and create deep, lasting relationships with customers, colleagues and families.

Today Amanda joins us for a thought-provoking conversation about addressing our core fears, discovering who we are at our essence and her own personal journey in embracing stillness to better understand her authentic self.

SHOW NOTES:

At the start of Covid, Amanda credits the work of Dr. David Martin that led her to dive deeply into her essence. Learn more about Dr. Martin’s work here.
Core fears: I’m not good enough or I’m not worth loving. I’m unsafe in some way. Fear of separation.
“As a toddler, I told myself I was responsible for my mother’s happiness.”
True north question: Am I being the person I want to be in this moment?
“We teach best what we need to learn.”
As Amanda is focusing on the small steps to feel all ranges of emotion, she’s learning the value in stillness.
Sparkly bits: How is our nonverbal communication being perceived by those around us.
From Tom Kenyon’s The Great Human Potential, Amanda asks herself: What is it that I, as a being, am learning from this experience?
I’m not driving myself to achieve. I’m opening my heart and now choosing to dive deeply into who I really am.
