Incorporating her mat into her daily practice has allowed her body to transform physically eliminating pain that used to be difficult to manage at times through the hours of training.

Amanda Light - Executive Leadership Coach & Consultant, Master Practitioner & Trainer of Neurolinguistic Programming, Certified Energy Leadership Index Practitioner

Breakout session: How to take the steps to dream big in the face of those who doubt us.

Meet Amanda Light, a Southern girl with humble beginnings as a hog farmer’s daughter from rural Arkansas to an accomplished global entrepreneur, inspirational speaker and business leadership thought leader. She is a hardworking, big-hearted woman of faith. She is a highly sought-after coach, consultant and mentor to executives worldwide and sole provider to her three incredible sons. Amanda’s core beliefs are to show up in life courageously, do the hard things when necessary, and remain present for those around her.

The first in her family to attend college, Amanda was accepted to William and Mary on a scholarship. Entering real estate was to supplement a way to and end for college, and the journey is crooked and not always straight. Her journey is one filled with accomplishments and challenges; from being recognized at the age of 18 as “Rookie of the Year” for the largest privately held real estate company in America to walking and having children when she was told neither were possible. Her inspirational story, “Dreams and Doubters,” highlights her journey from physical paralysis at the age of 28, to having miracle babies in her 40s. While others have created a false choice between motherhood and career professional, Amanda has shown over the last two decades, that a woman can successfully do both; grow a family and slay it in business.

She provides practical ways to apply this powerful mindset to all areas of life. Through keynote speeches, mastermind events, workshops, breakout sessions, and private consultations, she aims to empower others to achieve transformational success of their own development, growth, and financial wellness. In order to do this, she has empowered herself by becoming a Master Practitioner and Certified Trainer of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Mental Emotional Release and Hypnosis Therapy, Speaker and Trainer of Influence and Energy Leadership Coach.

With a proven track record of business growth and development, she is a recognized expert with breakthrough results on preparing a launch, turning-around, and/or reinventing companies and professional identities by applying organizational theory to empower others. A case in point, Amanda has led businesses that received prestigious accolades such as “Best Places to Work” by The Washington Post, “Fastest Growing Companies” by Inc. Magazine, and “Most Innovative Team” by Inman.
