About

Hi, I'm Amanda.

I've walked through many changes in my life and know what it means to lead with heart. Peace Corps service, multiple career shifts, and physical burnout in a corporate role each taught me the highs and lows of change. Through all of it, I learned to see empathy as a competitive advantage.

I'm a collaborative sage, a strengths-driven optimist, and a passionate connector. I bring strategy, emotional depth, and grounding energy to my coaching, training, advisory, and speaking.

I work with rising and established leaders and businesses who are driven to bring heart to the center. They want to lead from within and build environments where teams thrive.
