Amanda Heal

Amanda is a resilience expert with an extraordinary life story. Audiences love the lessons of character building and courage which she shares in her keynote talks. These are lessons that every leader and their team needs, to overcome uncertainty and build resilience.

Amanda survived being prematurely born in the 70’s when most early premature babies were not deemed viable. At birth she was so small that her father could hold her on his hand. Amanda needed oxygen to help her breathe for many weeks after her birth. While this oxygen saved her life, it caused damage to her eyes, resulting in total blindness. From then on, Amanda has continued to surprise people with her professional and personal achievements, including graduating with honours in Law from the Australian National University, climbing to an altitude of over 10,000ft in Nepal, and overcoming her fear of getting lost to travel by bus.

After a shock redundancy from her 17-year legal career, Amanda sold skincare products in a network marketing business, retrained as a John C Maxwell speaker, trainer and coach, and started a podcast. Along the way Amanda discovered that her life’s purpose is to inspire and encourage others to reach their full potential. She has since written two books on the subject, the latest being Seeing By Vision Not By Sight: How To Discover Your Life’s Purpose And Put It Into Action, and now shares her message of courage, and purpose with audiences across the globe.

Using her 5 step FOCUS methodology, Amanda Heal will help you and your team overcome uncertainty and build resilience.

She will use her unique insight into facing and overcoming challenges as a totally blind professional, to show you and your team how to transform from being fearful, confused and stuck to being people who are in control, and who take courageous steps towards a clear vision.

Just like exercising
a muscle, in tough times you have to keep working on your courage to keep it strong. Upgrade your courage for unbelievable results.
