The Purpose Pursuit

In a time of quiet quitting and the post-pandemic presenteeism crisis, companies are struggling to determine how to engage their employees in a meaningful way. Amanda believes the solve in addressing this is helping employees see purpose in their work and in their lives.

With her trademark authenticity and warmth, Amanda takes the stage not to tell people how to “find” their purpose, but to break down why that might be the wrong approach altogether. Purpose, she asserts, isn’t a destination we someday reach; it’s woven into the small, powerful moments that make up our lives right now.

Throughout her career, Amanda has guided major brands in showcasing purpose through unforgettable campaigns, mentored thousands of professionals in discovering fulfillment, and shared insights with leaders from all walks of life. Yet, like many, she found herself questioning purpose in the wake of unprecedented change.

She urges leaders to embrace the smaller, often overlooked moments and values that make up the core of their organization’s identity, building stronger teams who are fully engaged, connected, and inspired.
