Every day is a new day to be a better version of who you are and who you are becoming.

The same is true for your business and your team.

About

Amanda works with leaders, leadership teams, and organizations during moments of transition, when things feel tense, stuck, or misaligned, and the path forward isn’t clear.

After 20 years of leading teams, developing leaders and engaging audiences, she brings an integrative approach that strengthens decision quality, trust, and confidence under pressure, helping leaders and teams to move forward with clarity and a shared understanding of how to work together. She has partnered with leadership teams, business owners, successors, and mid-level management across industries including education, healthcare, government, manufacturing, social services, and technology, supporting organizations where human dynamics and business decisions are deeply intertwined.

Throughout her career, she has curated innovative initiatives and learning focused experiences. She has extensive leadership experience in healthcare, mental health and in higher education.

Clients and partners describe her as a grounded presence in complex rooms, someone who creates the conditions for honest conversation, shared understanding, and renewed confidence in how people work together.

Where innovation and learning meet, and serious play serves a purpose, you will find her. She doesn’t offer formulas or one-size-fits-all solutions. Each situation is different. Her work adapts to what’s actually happening in the room, helping people face the truth with care and courage, and move forward together.

Outside of work, you will find her in building communities of practice, such as The Thrive Together Community, relishing in nature, and hanging out with her family and friends.

Amanda holds a Master’s degree in Management of Innovation and a Bachelor of Honors in Psychology and Human Behavioral Biology, now Neuroscience, from the University of Toronto. Amanda holds the Professional Coaching Certification from the International Coaching Federation, and the Proficiency in Focusing Award, where she is an Associate Member of The International Focusing Institute.
