Overview
Being innovation specialists, we can’t get enough of speaking about innovation. And the great thing is that what we do is relevant to all organisations, in any industry. We can tailor a keynote to exceed all expectations at your next event, or to ignite innovation fires within your organisation.
What’s it like?
We’re sure you already know what a keynote is like, so here’s why we are different! We’ll be inspiring, passionate, funny and engaging, but we won’t leave you hanging. Often, innovation speakers are great at the inspiring part, but audiences leave thinking ‘well we’re not Google, how on earth do we do that!?’ We’ll make sure we leave you with clear and practical next steps, that you can start implementing as soon as you leave the room.
How does it work?
- Dr Amantha Imber and Charlotte Rush are highly experienced and talented speakers willing to travel (almost) anywhere to speak to your audience.
- We can speak about a number of topics, all on innovation of course, to suit your objectives.
- Keynotes are generally 1 hour in length, but can be made shorter to suit.
What will it achieve?
Here’s a taster of what you can expect:
- Your audience will leave inspired AND equipped with steps that they can individually take to drive innovation.
- It will put the spotlight on innovation at your event or within your organisation, helping to create a burning platform for change.
- A happy and engaged audience who managed to not check their phones for a whole hour.

“Amantha is a peerless facilitator of any creativity, innovation, thinking-related workshop, conference and gathering. Her seemingly light delivery and interaction with the audiences is the tip of an iceberg of the depth of her science knowledge and understanding of human mind at work. I am a shameless fan of Amantha’s work.”
Executive Producer, Innofuture
“Amantha’s delivery was punchy and quirky, she provided practical tools interspersed with humour, which provided delegates ideas on how they can reframe change to demonstrate how it adds value. Amantha is a bubbly, engaging and down to earth speaker and I would recommend her to anyone looking to more fully explore how to find frustrations, crush assumptions, run experiments and resist after-lunch decision making.”

“Amantha recently led an interactive keynote with the Disney Consumer Products team, which bowled everyone over. Amantha’s style is disarming, engaging and thought provoking. She presented pragmatic insights in such a way that the team felt really empowered to take the information and run with it. Was a wonderful reset moment and we’re all looking forward to living more of our best work life. Thoroughly recommend”

“Amantha anchored our conference with a vibrant, funny and practical talk on how to be a better decision maker. The points resonated with the audience and the mnemonic devices she used to help us remember the key points were being talked about days after she spoke. I now know to make my important decisions early in my day and am more cognizant of my state when a decision needs to be made!”
