01 / SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
ADHD entrepreneurs don't lack ambition - they usually have too much of it.

Equal parts validating, eye-opening and immediately actionable.

Length: 60 – 90 min

Need something specific for your audience or event theme?
Amber emceed our virtual day-long events we held in October 2020 and April 2021. She was so popular that we had to have her back! Amber's energy and enthusiasm were contagious, as she played music, got the attendees excited about what was to come, and used her humor to get attendees to share in the chat. Amber did an excellent job talking up the event and the program we were promoting. I highly recommend Amber as an emcee for your event if you want to keep the energy up and help attendees connect with your brand and with each other.
