Discover Amanda Stevens’ inspiring journey from building a successful marketing agency to becoming an award-winning keynote speaker on consumer psychology and customer experience.
Amanda Stevens reflects on her professional speaking journey, which began after being named Young Australian of the Year for Career Achievement in New South Wales in 2002. Although her early speaking experiences were shaky, she quickly realized her story of building a marketing agency from scratch resonated with audiences. Determined to improve, she worked intensively with a speaking coach for over a year, which helped transform her skills and confidence on stage.
As her passion for speaking grew, so did her business, until she faced the challenge of balancing both. In 2011, she sold her marketing agency to fully pursue her speaking career. Since then, Amanda has spoken to tens of thousands of people, helping them grow professionally, personally, and in business.
Her academic background in consumer psychology and marketing, paired with her hands-on business experience, gives her unique insights into customer behavior. She emphasizes the importance of preparation off-stage, including detailed briefings and even mystery shopping, to understand industries from the customer’s perspective. This enables her to deliver practical strategies that help organizations anticipate customer needs, innovate, and future-proof their business.

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
