Amy Downs

Hope is a verb.

In 1995, Amy Downs was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble following the Oklahoma City bombing which killed 168 people including 18 of her 33 co-workers at the Federal Employees Credit Union.

Embracing her second chance at life, Amy launched a campaign of self-improvement and empowerment. She went from a 355-pound couch potato to completing a Full Ironman Triathlon. From flunking out of math class to earning her master’s degree in Business Administration. From a teller to CEO of the same
credit union nearly destroyed in the bombing.

Amy is now a full time speaker and author of Hope is a Verb, which is available on Amazon. Most recently, Amy was featured in two documentaries produced by National Geographic and Netflix.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

Trapped into Success

Most of us have at least one goal we are struggling to accomplish. We may have even have made progress to some extent but then life gets in the way, we get derailed, and then become discouraged.

This inspiring message will help the audience discover how they can improve the odds of accomplishing their goals by creating a framework to trap themselves into success.

Amy describes how being trapped under 10 feet of rubble for over 6 hours after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing changed her life and caused her to launch a self-improvement campaign. She shares with the audience how she learned to flip the script to trap herself in a positive way that led to incredible transformation and how they can apply the same framework to their lives.

This call to action keynote will leave the audience inspired, ignited with hope, and with new ideas on how they can achieve their goals.
