Hi, I’m Barbara Amato — speaker, storyteller, real estate pro, and coffee enthusiast!
By day, I’m a full-time real estate agent based in Clermont, Florida, where I help people navigate life’s big transitions — whether that’s welcoming a new baby, downsizing, dealing with probate, or simply needing a fresh start. With a background that includes hospitality, business ownership, and decades at Walt Disney World, I bring heart, strategy, and a little magic to every transaction.
With over 40 years of experience in leadership, training, and public speaking, I’ve had the joy of connecting with audiences in all kinds of settings — from Toastmasters and TEDx stages to prisons, churches, and business workshops. I believe everyone has a story, and helping people find and share theirs is one of my greatest passions.
After nearly 50 years of marriage and a lifetime of leading, one thing’s clear: growth is better together. Whether I’m handing someone a mic or house keys, my mission is the same — to encourage, empower, and help people bloom (even if I sometimes forget which hat I’m wearing mid-pep-talk!).
I'm a two-time Distinguished Toastmaster, 2022 District 84 Speech and Evaluator Champion, and a proud contributing author to the Sources of Wisdom book series. I’ve coached TEDx speakers, mentored new leaders, and cheered people on through every season of life.
So whether you're ready to speak up, move on, or just need someone to listen — let’s grab a coffee and chat. I’d love to hear your story.
