Youth Speaker

Hi, I'm Amanda and I am a college and youth speaker who focuses on helping students learn to overcome obstacles and navigate their failures.

Youth Speaker, Amanda Hammett is a woman on a mission.  Her mission is to show high school and college students that their obstacles (and even their failures) don't have to be the end of the world.  In fact, they can even be a stepping stone to success.  Amanda didn't always plan on becoming a youth speaker.  Oddly, it wasn't until her world fell apart at the seams did Amanda discover that she had a unique combination of skills.  Her "tell it like it is" personality combined with her unique brand of competitiveness makes Amanda the perfect "cool aunt or big sister" that every student would love to have, but don't!  Outside of her speeches and workshops, Amanda takes on tough questions from high school and college students from all over North America.  No question or topic is off limits and you better believe that when Amanda answers, she doesn't hold anything back!
