The Purpose Pursuit

In today’s workplace, where presenteeism, quiet quitting, and heightened stress dominate, morale has taken a hit. Amanda Brinkman believes it’s time to think differently about purpose. Too often, leaders shy away from addressing purpose and meaning in the workplace, seeing these concepts as overly abstract or “soft.” Amanda’s message? They’re missing a critical opportunity.

In this inspiring keynote, Amanda Brinkman – a seasoned marketing visionary, corporate leader, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, and globally sought-after speaker – challenges audiences to rethink purpose. With her trademark authenticity and warmth, Amanda takes the stage not to tell people how to “find” their purpose, but to break down why that might be the wrong approach altogether. Purpose, she asserts, isn’t a destination we someday reach; it’s woven into the small, powerful moments that make up our lives right now.

Throughout her career, Amanda has guided major brands in showcasing purpose through unforgettable campaigns, mentored thousands of professionals in discovering fulfillment, and shared insights with leaders from all walks of life. Yet, like many, she found herself questioning purpose in the wake of unprecedented change.

With fresh insights, real-life stories, and a call to redefine purpose, Amanda leaves audiences with a new mindset on what it means to truly live – and work – with meaning. She urges leaders to embrace the smaller, often overlooked moments and values that make up the core of their organization’s identity, building stronger teams who are fully engaged, connected, and inspired.
