Amanda Van Den Elzen

I deliver measurable efficiency gains that translate into real business value. While many AI speakers focus on high-level theory, I am obsessed with the practical "time-back" ROI of technology. My sessions don't just result in high engagement scores; they result in tangible productivity shifts. For example, after a session with a group of over 40 real estate agents, participants estimated saving an average of six hours per week by applying my methods. Even in short-form settings, like a preview for 100+ professionals at the Fox Cities AI Business Summit, attendees walked away with an estimated four hours of weekly savings. When you bring me in, you aren't just booking a presentation—you are facilitating a collective gain in your team's most valuable resource: time. I bridge the gap between "That’s cool" and "I can do that." While many speakers focus on the high-level philosophy of AI, I focus on the Monday morning application. My background in L&D means I don't just speak at people; I design sessions that respect how adults actually learn. I turn the overwhelming noise of generative AI into a clear, actionable roadmap that non-technical teams can follow with confidence. I prioritize engagement over information dumping. Following my philosophy of "Entertain First, Inform Second," I create high-impact, experiential environments. Whether it’s an AI escape room or a role-specific deep dive, your attendees won't be checking their phones—they’ll be active participants. You aren't just hiring a speaker; you’re hiring a facilitator who ensures your audience leaves with more than just notes—they leave with a shift in mindset. I bring the grit and agility of the racetrack to the stage. Managing professional motorsports teams taught me how to communicate under pressure and drive results when the stakes are high. I bring that same energy—focused, authentic, and fast-moving—to every keynote and workshop. I’m not a "dry" corporate trainer; I’m a storyteller who knows how to capture an audience's attention and hold it.
