Behind the brand

Hi, I’m Amanda

I’m here because I believe better is possible, and I can help you get there.

I honed my expertise first as a journalist and then as a Chief of Staff. Now, I’m leveraging everything I’ve learned over the last 20+ years to help you make progress on your most difficult and vital challenges.

I partner with you to ask powerful questions, understand the big picture, craft a plan, and iterate for progress. We’ll work together to generate movement and unlock new opportunities. You’ll gain new insights, tools, and skills that you can put to work and start seeing results on day one.
