Speaking & Training FAQ’s
Here are some questions and answers for when you choose to work with Amirah.
What types of events do you speak at or conduct training?
I work with organizations across industries who want to inspire and develop their leaders:
Leadership conferences and corporate retreats where organizations invest in developing their emerging and mid-level leaders
Sales and business development rallies, retreats, and kickoffs designed to energize teams and provide practical strategies for growth
Women's leadership summits and ERG events focused on advancing and supporting women in the workplace
Tech/AI company offsites and team development days where innovation-driven organizations prioritize culture and capability building
Professional services firms' client and team events that combine thought leadership with relationship building
VC, entrepreneur, and small business forums where founders and leaders gather to learn from each other's experiences
The common thread? Organizations that see leadership development as strategic investment, not just motivational speaking.
What are your most popular speaking topics?
My signature talks blend strategic frameworks with real-world stories from 25+ years of leadership:
"Service Excellence that Scales: Transforming Customer Experience into a Growth Engine" Perfect for organizations that understand customer experience drives retention and revenue, but struggle to maintain quality while scaling rapidly.
"The Resilient Leader: Thriving Through Uncertainty and High-Pressure Decisions" Designed for leaders navigating change, disruption, or high-stakes environments who need practical strategies for maintaining effectiveness under pressure.
"Sales Without the Hard Sell: Relationship-Based Strategies That Build Trust and Drive Revenue" Ideal for teams that want to grow revenue without compromising authenticity or burning out their people with aggressive tactics.
"Leadership in the Age of AI: Harnessing AI Tools for Better Decision-Making and Team Performance" Created for forward-thinking organizations that want to understand how AI changes leadership, decision-making, and team dynamics.
"The Growth Blueprint: Scaling with Authenticity While Preserving Values and Culture" Perfect for growing companies that want to scale revenue and teams without losing the culture and values that made them successful.
"Women in Leadership: Amplifying Your Voice and Influence" Designed for organizations committed to developing women leaders and helping them navigate the unique challenges of advancing in male-dominated or complex environments.
All topics can be customized to your organization's specific challenges, industry context, and audience composition.
What makes Amirah different as a speaker?
Four things distinguish my speaking approach:
Dynamic, interactive delivery that sparks engagement. I don't believe in talking at audiences for 45 minutes. My sessions include interactive elements, real-time discussion, and opportunities for participants to apply concepts to their actual situations. You'll see heads nodding, hands taking notes, and people leaning forward—not checking their phones.
Practical takeaways attendees can implement immediately. Every session includes frameworks, tools, and strategies that participants can use when they return to their desks Monday morning. No fluff, no generic motivation—just actionable insights based on what's actually working for scaling companies.
Tailored content customized to your audience and event goals. I don't give the same presentation to every audience. Before your event, we'll have a planning call to understand your organization's challenges, your audience's composition, and your specific goals. The content you get is designed for your people and your situation.
25+ years of proven expertise in leadership, scaling, and advising businesses. I'm not a professional speaker who created a talk—I'm an operator and advisor who shares real insights from scaling companies from $2M to $125M+, building my own businesses, and coaching executives through their toughest challenges. The stories are real, the lessons are hard-won, and the credibility is earned.
