Bringing ease

I help leaders and teams go from tension to trust.

Bringing ease through change advisory, facilitation, coaching, and keynote speaking.

Who I am

Hi, I'm Amanda.

I'm a coach, facilitator, advisor, and speaker in Seattle. For 15+ years I have coached and facilitated change across the U.S. Peace Corps, community groups, nonprofits, and global corporate work. I help leaders and teams bring ease to hard conversations through trust stewardship, compassionate leadership, and belonging.

Why trust matters now

As AI takes on more of the work, the skills that matter most are the human ones: trust, honest conversation, and belonging.

Trust is the foundation for innovation and productivity. It also protects a business as the work around it changes. I help leaders and teams build it with practices that bring ease.

Four ways to partner

  • Masterminds

    A small community of leaders working through real situations together. The others in the circle reflect back what you may not see yet.

  • 1:1 coaching

    Private coaching for leaders ready to go deeper into strategic influence, communication, and identity narrative.

  • Speaking and keynotes

    Keynotes, breakouts, and panels on trust, collaboration, and the health of community.

  • Team workshops and advisory

    Workshops and change advisory that help teams rebuild trust and give people a more productive way to work together.
