YOU ARE
creative.
Know-how is not the same as wisdom.
Leadership models are helpful. Conferences and books and podcasts can inspire and teach us.
​
And: relying solely on these activities is like reading about how to cook a beautiful, healthy meal without ever getting into the kitchen.
Coaching is the kitchen.
​
Coaching helps you take the know-how you've learned from others and create your own wisdom, made by and for you, here and now.
​
A UNIQUE KIND OF relationship
In coaching, you are the expert in charge of where we go together. A coach's job is to create a safe space for you to share your goals, investigate what's holding you back, and to create a way forward. A coach is a question-asker and listener, a master of paying attention.
The goal? to discover what's been there all along:
you.
Amanda
A sociologist with an artist's heart, Amanda finds great joy in witnessing her clients' journeys to clarity and direction.
As a former manager and CEO, she has lived the reality of high-intensity, high-impact decisions and challenges, with few truly safe spaces to find the best path. Coaching helped her lead in the ways only she could: authentically, and with purpose. Now, as a coach, she provides that same safety and non-judgement to others so they don't feel alone as they create a way forward.
​​
Amanda's coaching focus is on top executives, the C-suite, and entrepreneurs. She works best with those who have a deep desire to learn, and who are open to discomfort in service to their own growth.

Lori C.
Banking Executive
"I met Amanda during what I consider my "mid-life career crisis." At a time when I was questioning many things I once knew to be true, she showed up as a skillful guide who helped me make sense of it all. Amanda brings a combination of patience, thought-provoking questions, and genuine empathy to every session. She helped me dig deeper into my own psyche, challenging my thought patterns and navigating through big questions, small annoyances, and exciting new possibilities."
