Strategic Career & Wellness Coaching
Customized coaching designed to help you land your next high-impact role without burning out in the process.
About
17+ Years in the Room Where the Decisions Are Made.
As a former HR Professional holding many key roles within various industries, I’ve sat behind the desk for thousands of hiring, promotion, and salary negotiation cycles.
Today, I combine that institutional authority along with my work as an Executive Coach with Randstad Risesmart, a Core Values Coach for Cornell University Engineering and a Certified Wellness Coach from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I don't just help you find a job; I help you build a sustainable, high-performance career that respects your nervous system as much as your bottom line.
Our Services
-
A high-touch, strategic partnership for mid-career professionals ready for their next $20k+ leap.

Phase 2: Market Positioning & Nervous System Regulation > I rebuild your resume and LinkedIn for recruiter psychology (ATS-optimized). Simultaneously, we implement the 8 Pillars of Wellness to lower your cortisol and build the resilience required for high-stakes interviewing.
Phase 3: The Negotiation & Integration > When the offer comes, I coach you through the negotiation using my insider knowledge of HR budget authorizations to maximize your total compensation. We finish with a "First 90 Days" strategy to ensure you hit the ground running without hitting the wall.

Meet your coach
I spent 17+ years in the trenches of corporate and non profit leadership as an HR Business Partner and HR Manager. I have been the person "in the room" for thousands of talent reviews and salary negotiations but more importantly, I have been the Recruiter and Lead Interviewer. I have personally screened thousands of candidates and conducted the interviews that determine who gets the offer and who gets the "rejection" email. I know exactly what makes a resume stand out in an ATS, what a recruiter is looking for in the first 30 seconds, and the specific language that commands a higher salary.
Today, I combine that tactical recruitment "insider" knowledge with my work as a Leadership Coach for Cornell University Engineering. At Cornell, I coach the next generation of technical leaders on Core Values and Leadership training. In my private practice and my work with Randstad RiseSmart, I have leveraged this 360-degree perspective to help 270+ professionals and executives land high-impact roles.
My philosophy: Success shouldn't cost you your health.
As a Trauma-Informed and Certified Wellness Coach, I don’t just give you the "Recruiter’s Playbook" to land the job; I give you the "Wellness Framework" to survive the pressure. I bring an HR professionals strategy to your career and a coach’s heart to your well-being.
Whether we are auditing your market value or mastering your interview presence, we are building a career that is strategically positioned, high-earning, and sustainably yours.

Amanda is an AMAZING and faith-filled coach. When I came to her, I was lost and overwhelmed. Throughout the course of now over a year and a half, Amanda has sought to understand where I'm coming from and gently nudged me in the right direction, forcing ME to reach my own conclusions while supporting me with ideas and systems.

Amanda was such a blessing while I was looking for a new job. She was able to take my 10+ years of self employed experience and build a resume that was concise while still highlighting all relevant skills. What would have taken me weeks, took her just a few days and I was able to land the job I wanted within weeks.

What I appreciated most about working with her was her flexibility and client-centered approach. Amanda never pushed her own agenda. When I completely changed directions mid-coaching, she adapted with ease—never making me feel like I had wasted her time. Her thoughtful, probing questions stayed with me long after our sessions, sparking new clarity and ideas.
