Amanda Lipp

In a world where shame and stigma around mental health can secretly suffocate success and happiness – changing the narrative is key. When vulnerability and adversity is seen as an opportunity to expand, rather than a weakness to overcome, it can create a ripple effect in organizations that is rooted in trust and authenticity. When we feel safe and seen – we unlock community, confidence, and innovation.

In this story-driven and creative presentation, Amanda Lipp takes your audience through a series of powerful lessons that inspire us to think differently about mental health – for ourselves and in the workplace. Using my ‘crayon box method’, we uncover the layers that are holding you back so you can thrive and then pay-it-forward. As a filmmaker, she weaves in stories of people’s journeys to illustrate the diversity of resilience – that everyone’s path looks differently. Amanda uses crayons as a creative and fun metaphor to dig deep and think “outside the box” of mental health.
