Hi, I'm Amanda.
Empowering. Collaborative. Insightful.
And a catalyst for change.
I've walked through many changes in my life and know what it means to lead with heart in a world that often rewards hard edges. From learning how to navigate in a heart-led culture during my Peace Corps service, to shifting my career and having to start from ground zero at an unlikely time in life, to navigating burnout in my passion-driven corporate role, I've learned that empathy adds a complex layer to our experience that, at its highest form of expression, serves as a competitive advantage.
I'm a collaborative sage, a strengths-driven optimist, and a passionate connector with a knack for sparking transformation inclusively. With a career forged through 15+ years of inclusive facilitation and several certifications, I blend strategic clarity, emotional depth, and energetic connection into coaching, training, and consulting that leads you to your best outcome.
I work with rising and established leaders and businesses who are driven to bring heart to the center of what they do and how their teams operate. They're ready to lead from within to create environments that thrive.
What Qualifies Me?
I am a proud graduate of the Jay Shetty Coaching School with a certification that amplifies my 15+ years of experience in facilitation of community-building programming and people development.
With my ability to ask meaningful questions that enable my clients to see that they are whole, that they have answers, and that they can move forward in a way that feels right for them, along with my dedicated focus on empathetic people development in international, non-profit, and corporate spaces, I bring ease to your environments through compassionate leadership development and coaching, inclusive people strategies, mentorship programs, efficient meeting facilitation, and team-building workshops.
I partner with organizations and individuals to unlock human potential with empathy, foster emotional intelligence, and cultivate people-first progress—so that businesses don’t just grow, they thrive.
