This year we at Bambuddha Group are very proud to host the first-ever Amplify Project. In collaboration with many partners, 14 lucky recipients will have the opportunity to go through a 1-month program to deep dive into their purpose as leaders and then work to build an authentic keynote to amplify their message and voice, performed live over two consecutive evenings.

DAY 1 & 2- EVOLVE - THE DNA OF PURPOSE

WHERE: Wesley Conference Centre, Pitt Street Sydney 9 AM-5 PM

WHEN: Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st October

There are so many amazing things happening as a result of human purpose, yet in the face of a global pandemic, we are all aware that all over the world, there is so much more we can do to ignite human progress.

In this age of rapid transformation, we have amplified the power we all have to create the future we want to step into as individuals, organisations, and a global community. We all have the power to own our voices and take our ideas into world-changing influence. However, to leverage that opportunity, we must embrace the mindset of intelligent optimism alongside the decision to pioneer a future we desire. DNA Of Purpose is a process that draws on scientific thinking to provide a framework for an individual to align more deeply with a sense of purpose.

Key Outcomes:

Unlock your past. Identify the tools, the time and the talents that make your purpose a unique blueprint of who you are.
Unlock purpose in the present moment. Explore empathy, passion and action. In addition to that, Identify the roadblocks to your highest potential.
Crystalise the vision you have for a better future and make the decision today to create it.

DAY 3- AMPLIFY- ON PURPOSE INFLUENCE

WHERE: Wesley Conference Centre, Pitt Street Sydney 9 AM-5 PM

WHEN: Saturday 6th November

Let’s face it, regardless of how you feel about some of the world’s largest question marks right now – global pandemics, artificial intelligence, climate change, social change – reactions that come from fear are rarely ever the solution. However, in a world where all the old rules have been turned upside down and where the future appears more unpredictable than ever, there is an unparalleled opportunity for organisations and leaders to stand up and own their space as influencers to provide real, lasting value.

So what does that look like? In this presentation, Rebecca and Aimee translate the intersection between purpose and igniting positive influence in the world. After all, there has there been a more significant time for one voice to become the voice of many. So with that in mind, how do we hack our attention to ignite positive influence? How do we purposefully take action to build hope, to help or to heal? Can we learn a new language of influence - where we can connect, persuade and engage online, onstage and in life to amplify our purpose?

Key Outcomes:

Identify Your ‘Impact Intersection’.
Gain insights into how to translate what you know and add value.
Understand the keys to world-changing storytelling.
Map your content blueprint.
