WORKSHOP
How to do Great Work
These workshops offer a clear path for people who want to do meaningful work without relying on constant urgency or overwork, while still meeting the demands of their roles and organizations.
Using the Great Work Method, participants learn how to manage attention, time, and decision-making in ways that bring clarity to what matters most and where effort is best spent. Participants leave with shared language and practical tools they can use immediately to work with greater intention, confidence, and purpose.
This format works well for emerging leader programs, professional development for educators, career pathways programming in higher education, and organizations that want to support meaningful, durable work.
KEYNOTE
The Future of Work is Great Work
As work becomes increasingly automated, what distinguishes people and organizations is not speed or output, but judgment, purpose, and care.
Amanda explores how human curiosity, commitment, and meaning shape the ideas, decisions, and networks that influence what comes next. When people are grounded in Great Work, they collaborate differently, take greater responsibility for their choices, and engage technology as an accelerant for purposeful work rather than a competitor. From that place of clarity, they help shape the systems and cultures that define the future of work.
This keynote is designed to set the tone for conferences and events that want to inspire shared vision, responsibility, and confidence about the world we are building together.

Three Reasons You Aren’t Doing What You Say You Will Do
In this TEDx talk, Dr. Crowell explains why motivation alone is rarely enough, how clarity and structure shape follow-through, and what actually helps people do the work they care about. Drawing on cognitive psychology and real-world examples, the talk reframes common assumptions about productivity and progress.
The talk has been viewed nearly two million times across TEDx platforms and introduces core ideas that later became part of the Great Work Method.
