Amanda Lindhout New York Times Bestselling Author, Expert on Transformation & Extraordinary Mindset
Select Testimonials
“She was amazing, spectacular, uplifting, articulate....the list goes on and on. She is in my humble option the best speaker we have ever had! Not sure how or if we will ever be able to top her.”
“Once she started speaking, no one in the room moved; their total attention was on Amanda. You could hear a pin drop. She received a standing ovation, which is a first for our Leadership Series. I don't think people will easily forget what she had to say.”
Amanda is an inspiring speaker with a message that is absolutely vital for our times.
“We just had Amanda Lindhout for EO Detroit and SHE WAS UNBELIEVABLE…Can't recommend any more highly. Never seen so many EO members cry and hug so freely. Amanda is the most resilient person I have ever met.”
Amanda Lindhout is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable people I have ever had the honour of hearing speak. Her groundbreaking peace building work in Somalia is made all the more extraordinary by her willingness to work alongside former extremists and exemplifies the true meaning of forgiveness. Her message of peace deserves to be heard by all.
“I've been booking key note speakers for 25 years. I've seen them all. The good. The bad and the average. So when someone exceptional takes my stage – I know it quickly. Amanda was that exception. The audience was so transfixed on her story that you could hear a pin drop. By the end of it all – there wasn't a dry eye in the house and she got a huge standing ovation. I'm happy to recommend her to anyone.”
She was PHENOMENAL...you could hear a pin drop in the room this morning. I'm proud to say that Ottawa did not disappoint...she ended her keynote with a standing ovation from all 300 people in attendance. It was truly a pleasure, for me personally, to have met Amanda. While I may never completely understand what she endured during her captivity, I can say that her story has left an indescribable mark on my life and will never forget her message.
She was amazing as promised- the room of 1500 was silent- you could have heard a pin drop- she has an amazing story and its told in such an authentic manner- Wow- thank you so much for helping make this happen for us
“Amanda's story, and the moving way she shares it, served as the perfect close to our Fortune Magazine Summit. The 900+ CEOs and top executives were brought to tears and cheers as they received a message that put the significant pressures they face every day into perspective. One CEO shared with me that he had faced a $500 million loss which has been obviously weighing on him, but Amanda's keynote gave him a new lens through which to view the impact – it was just money!”
“As Education Officer the pressure is on to deliver so picking a speaker is a bit of a leap of faith. Amanda's story and delivery was simply stunning, you could hear a pin drop in the room. Her engagement with the audience in the Q&A added details and layers to her story her compassion and authenticity really shone thru. First standing ovation in any of our chapter events.”
