speaking
Your audience leaves with more than inspiration, they leave with a plan.
Keynotes and workshops for organizations, conferences, and podcasts whose audiences include high-achieving women who are tired of being motivated but not moved. Everything Amanda brings is grounded in real research, honest storytelling, and strategies people can actually use before the week is over.
Ways to Work Together
Keynote Speaking
For conferences, summits, and events looking for a speaker who blends research, honesty, and practical strategy. I don’t deliver a highlight reel, I deliver a room full of women who feel seen and leave with something specific to do.
Training / Workshops
Half-day and full-day workshops that go further than a keynote. Your team or group walks away with a shared framework, a real plan, and the language to keep using it when things get hard. Every session is custom-built around your audience’s specific situation.
Podcast Guest
Honest conversations about what it actually costs to be ambitious and what changes when you get specific about what deserves your energy. If your audience includes high-achieving women who are tired but not ready to quit, there’s a lot to talk about.
Signature Topics
All speaking engagements are tailored to the specific audience but these are my signature topics.
The Cost Of Capable
The same drive that built her career is the same drive that won’t let her rest. This talk names what high-achieving women are often experiencing without language for the specific cost of being the most capable person in the room. Audiences leave with a name for what they’ve been feeling, research that validates it, and one concrete shift they can make immediately.
Why Not You?
Confidence doesnโt show up before action and this can hold too many women back from pursuing their dreams. Understanding the Y.O.U. framework will allow attendees to tap into the courage to start before they feel ready and build lasting confidence.
Stop Setting Goals
Start designing them. The Goal Design Methodโข is a simple, human-centered approach that helps high-achieving women create goals that actually work in the real world.
Meet your speaker
Amanda McKinney
Eight years of coaching high-achieving women has made one pattern unmistakably clear: the problem is rarely motivation. It’s the weight of too many good ideas, too many responsibilities, and not enough clarity on what actually deserves attention right now. I bring that same lens to every stage direct, research-grounded, and built around leaving the audience with something real to take home.
