The B.O.L.D Method: Getting from Breakdown to Breakthrough in the Midst of Adversity

Amber’s four-step method to live life boldly integrates her story of blindness and teaches your audience to break free from the stories that so often hold us back, use courage to overcome fear, live their truth in the midst of adversity, and dream with purpose.

Audience members will walk away with a full understanding of the B.O.L.D Method, its applications, and practical tools to clarify vision, set goals, and create a life that is enjoyable and rooted in purpose.

Blind, Not Broken:

People with disabilities are people first. In this talk, you will learn the truth about people with disabilities, understand their challenges, and leave with the confidence to create environments that are welcoming for everyone.

Audience members will laugh, cry, and be moved to think differently about what they know about the disability community. They will also leave with practical knowledge of the language and behavior that is most effective in treating people with disabilities with kindness and dignity.

Live Life Boldly in Christ

Amber uses her story of how God has provided strength through the storm of losing her vision and pursuing her dreams with perseverance and tenacity. Though she is blind, she has been gifted with supernatural vision that impacts audiences and moves others to live a life that is rooted in truth and steered by confidence in Christ.

Audience members will leave with an understanding of how God turns our biggest challenges into our greatest blessing. They will learn the truth about who they are in Christ and be inspired to walk in their calling no matter what circumstance they face with a strategy that is based completely in The Word of God.

Testimonials (4)
  • Recently I invited Amber Sherrard to speak to my SPED 310 class entitled "Exploring Visual Impairment" at San Francisco State University. Thanks to her upbeat style of delivery and no holds barred transparency, I have to say the students were enthusiastically engaged with Amber's presentation. On a personal note, I find it refreshing to have a speaker that gives equally of their time to listening and answering student questions as they do with delivering their topical information. I highly recommend Amber Sherrard for public speaking engagement.
