From one of my latest clients, Matthew: “Simply put, Amanda didn’t just change my life. She transformed it. Prior to working directly with Amanda, I knew her to be intelligent and articulate. However, it was by hiring her as my coach that I was able to experience firsthand how skillfully she was able to listen, provide critical—yet constructive (this is key!) feedback, and help me better express myself in ways that I had only dreamed of or hoped for. Amanda’s ability to empathize and deeply connect with others—and her overall understanding of the human experience as my coach—was unparalleled to other more intimate or in-depth encounters I have had in therapy-type sessions. It was as if she knew exactly where to pinpoint—or knew precisely which thread to pull to unravel the wisdom, resilience, creativity, and expressiveness inside me. I attribute my successful maneuvering into the tech space, which more than doubled my income, to our sessions. For this agility and prowess, I am deeply humbled yet grateful. Thank you, Amanda!”

About Me:
It wasn’t until I had the privilege of living in a rural village in Burkina Faso that I experienced the resilient power of community, and learned that positive, abundant outcomes are not possible without cultivating the conditions that allow individuals, teams, and communities to thrive. For 15 years, this approach has been a driving force in my personal and professional life, from facilitating a woman-led microfinance group in Takaledougou that continues to operate since 2009, to leading design teams responsible for some of the most successful consumer launches in Johnson & Johnson’s history, bringing purpose and consumer needs to the heart of strategy & innovation. I am now directing my energy towards consulting and building community-minded businesses, and reviving a locally-driven gift economy movement.
