Amanda has been instrumental in my appointment to board of directors. The guidance and advice offered has been exceptional. I am a different person in my approach to business because of Amanda. Most importantly Amanda tells you what you know deep down, but sometimes deny, and gives methods and understanding to help you understand areas that need improvement. I do not attend a single board meeting now where a technique learnt from Amanda us not used.

I started sessions with Amanda to help me with a career transition into line management. She is very friendly, approachable and I always felt much more equipped after my sessions with her.
She is very knowledgeable and provided me with tools to look at problems/challenges with a different lens.
I highly recommend her as an executive coach! C.W.

I worked with Amanda for about 1 year when I needed tools for how to manage a difficult work situation. Amanda helped me both to get to know myself and to see the work situation from different perspectives, and then to create tools for how to approach and manage the situation. Amanda is very professional and has extensive experience from different companies and from coaching leaders from different areas and backgrounds, which I found tremendously helpful when working with her. Amanda also helped me with my CV and with exploring new potential areas of work, which I also found inspiring and helpful. I can highly recommend Amanda as a coach.

I joined a Leadership course which Amanda was coaching on at a time when I was dealing with a number of difficult contractual issues and difficult people. Amanda helped me develop my leadership style in a way which allowed me to understand strategies for developing both myself and my team. The result was a more efficient team and a better work/life balance. Through the coaching, I grew as a leader and achieved a promotion at work. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Amanda helped me navigate some difficult times in my MD role and to grow as a leader. With advice and techniques for dealing with difficult people, presenting (and maximising the effectiveness of) my authentic leadership style and on career strategies I came out my coaching better equipped for the new challenges ahead of me.
I found the breadth of her practical advice and experience to be invaluable and appreciated having someone independent to explore ideas with or even just to vent to. IP, Managing Director
