Executive Coaching Services
Leaders come to me with big ideas and big problems. With successes, failures, and decisions that carry real weight. I understand their challenges because I’ve sat in the same chair—not once or twice, but 20 times as an interim CEO, leading organizations large and small. I know how demanding leadership can be. I’ve experienced meaningful wins, made my share of mistakes, and learned from all of them. Some keep me humble. All of them inform how I coach. That experience gives me a clear, grounded understanding of what leaders face every day and what actually helps.
Executive Leadership Coaching That Gets to the Heart of It
When you work with me, executive coaching is not abstract or performative. It’s a thoughtful, candid process that focuses on how you actually lead—especially under pressure. Our work leverages emotional intelligence (EQ) to deepen self-awareness, strengthen empathy, and sharpen your ability to influence, motivate, and engage others. You gain clarity about your leadership presence and how it’s experienced, so your actions land with greater credibility and impact.
Your Executive Leadership Coaching Journey
We’re in this together. When you work with me, we get down to business—and to the heart of the matter. I challenge limiting beliefs, surface blind spots, and support meaningful shifts that accelerate your growth and effectiveness as a leader. My style is both direct and supportive. I’ll hold your feet to the fire while creating a safe, grounded space for honesty, reflection, and real insight. The goal isn’t performance—it’s alignment.
Executive Coaching Grounded in Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
All of my coaching is grounded in emotional intelligence (EQ). EQ is often the missing piece in leadership—not because leaders lack skill, but because they underestimate how much their presence shapes trust, resistance, or engagement. EQ helps translate leadership skills into lived competence. Through EQ-based coaching, you strengthen:
- Your leadership presence and credibility
- Your ability to inspire and motivate others
- Your capacity to collaborate and lead through complexity
- Your creativity and adaptability as a leader

- Develop a deeper, more informed awareness of yourself as a leader
- Lead with empathy and accountability, without losing authority
- Strengthen your leadership presence and personal credibility

Amanda is a godsend! She turned a challenging leadership transition into an incredible learning and personal growth opportunity that continues to benefit me today. I can’t thank her enough for the contribution she made to our organization, and, my individual growth. The high point was coaching sessions with her horses. I bonded with Cato instantly. His immediate response to my body language, focus, intent, and energy taught me more in an hour than any all-day seminar could ever teach me. Two years after working with Cato, I interviewed for the most amazing leadership position of my career.
Throughout that process, I called upon that time with Cato and walked in to the interview with a clear vision, focus, and a powerful leadership energy that I am certain helped me land the job.
Many thanks to Amanda and my buddy Cato!
Amanda’s not afraid to challenge your thinking. When you bring a problem to her, you’ll leave with shifts in your perspective, and clear next steps to practice with your team. The more you bring the results back to her, the better you will get. The more open you are, the better you will get.
See the coaching and the assignments she gives you through. The more open I was to what she suggested, the more I learned. I’ve asked for more coaching because I enjoyed the sessions so much.
