My main job (in coaching) is often simply to pause, and reinforce the value of giving time and attention to understand what is going on and what is at the bottom of things for the person with whom I’m working. Sometimes it is an emotional process and people say they feel awkward taking up my time on this, yet it is essential

Coaching

Amanda’s coaching is informed by her deep research and her experiences as a teacher and working with mindfulness. Her coachees include:

• CEOs and next level leaders in small, medium and large organisations

• senior professionals in areas such as medicine and the law whose roles are demanding more leadership

• entrepreneurs keen to move from being ideas people to running a business

• academics moving into leadership roles

• leaders wanting to take stock, find more fulfilment in their roles or make big life transitions

Coaching relationships can be intensive and focused on a particular challenge facing a leader, for example, assuming a new role, or long-term relationships spanning many years.
