The principles she lives by
Amanda believes that the most important relationship we have, is the one with ourselves, tending to find that if we are disconnected with someone/thing else, we tend to be disconnected with ourselves also. To that end, she believes that by co-creating an enabling safe space, listening deeply to what is and isn’t said and modelling a Thinking Environment gives rise to profound opportunities to deepen thinking and increase realisations while bringing the thinker back into alignment.
She has a deep interest in understanding the human being, how we think, our processes and how they change over time; leading us to develop and grow, by enabling firstly self-connection which in turn brings about a richer connection with others.
Professional practice
An ICF accredited coach (to PCC), and Coach Mentor, she has worked within the learning and development space for 20years and more and remains passionate about ethical, qualitative partnership that promotes growth for all.
A coach and facilitator of individual, organisational and group development, her focus is on Exec coaching and relational systems, working with aspiring, new and existing leaders to maximise the quality of their relationships, thinking, actions and outcomes of both the individuals and their teams while being human. Her aim is to build inclusive, embracing, ‘safe’ and innovative environments within which people can thrive.
What others say
Amanda brings both an incisive mind and genuine warmth to her work. Partners speak of events lead by Amanda as “being a professional inspiration and someone who gives me confidence when I find myself in a facilitation setting” and of her coaching as “transformational”.
Her inspiration
Amanda was inspired by the Thinking Environment Approach having met Nancy and spending a few days with her early on in her Time to Think journey; she is keen to bring this approach into organisations to create the space for inclusive, qualitative thinking.
