For our kickoff to the spring semester, we had Amanda come in and speak!  Amanda's authentic charisma and strong message resonated with our students.  It was tremendous working with Amanda!  Highly recommend.

During COVID I asked Amanda to join a team virtual happy hour to speak

about Holding Space. It was a very uplifting and enlightening talk and

Amanda has a very easy communication style and ability to say things in a way

that is very relatable. The team thoroughly enjoyed her talk.

I first heard Amanda speak at Art Camp. I didn't know who she was. I remember, before going to her class, telling my colleague that, "This next class is going to be magical." We went into her class and it was such a beautiful experience. Amanda has this welcoming non-judgmental energy. It really lights up the room, making it comfortable to share insecurities. She preached about the beauty of living in the now. Her wisdom touched me. After that class I left with a full heart. I felt confident and hopeful, because of that I was compelled to purchase her book "Holding Space" and follow her teachings throughout my walk of life.

Amanda spoke at our Moms in Business Association Networking event and blew us away with her wit, understanding, and speaking skills while engag​ing the audience in recognizing the power of space. She taught us that just holding space for ourselves or another is sometimes the best answer-to allow the person to figure out the problem organically.  Holding space for you, I, and our kids, is one of the most under looked concepts- yet the first thing we come face to face with.  Amanda had us laughing and  digging deeper, and provided great skills.

I will recommend her to any and everyone looking for that next level inspiration.

As the Founder of the Nashville Creative Group, I have invited Amanda Dobra Hope to speak numerous times at our events over the past five years. She consistently has a relevant message to share and her positive attitude naturally attracts the audience to engage. Amanda is a dynamic speaker whose energy excites us all, and her thoughtful ideas teach us something new every time. I highly recommend Amanda!
