What do clients say?

Professional Coaching

I initially started working with Amanda to help me improve my effectiveness and impact in a new role at work.  Her coaching has helped me navigate changes in the field organization, identify opportunities to improve my leadership skills, deal with difficult coworkers, and be more thoughtful in my overall approach and decision making.  She is a great sounding board and helps me to see things more clearly and then create a plan to move forward with intention and integrity.  For me, having her as a coach is like having someone who is always in my corner working to help me succeed and be better at what I do.

Professional Coaching

Before working with Amanda, I did not have my professional wants in order for my career path.  I wanted to find a new job, but didn’t know how to navigate the process and brand myself.  Amanda guided me through conversations and workshops, and then pieced together beautifully my ideas and successes when I couldn’t see them clearly myself.  She helped me organize them into a forward motion action plan that lead me to making one of the best decisions I have made professionally thus far.  I cannot thank her enough!

Personal Coaching

Amanda has the ability to listen with piercing insight.  Some people listen, but Amanda asks insightful questions and listens for true insights that I might not even realize I had been trying to say.
