About Amanda
As the Director of Awaken Consulting I work with leaders in executive coaching and leadership development. I’ve consulted with leaders in private and public settings, in individual and group situations. I also co-facilitate a yearly program, called The Mindful Leader, which is designed for senior leaders to enhance their performance and well-being using mindful and self-awareness techniques.
My approach is always individualised, and goals are agreed upon collaboratively. I consider the individuals objectives, along with the wider organisational setting. I also consider a broader life focus, recognising that individuals develop patterns throughout their lives, based upon the environments in which they are raised, the life events they have experienced, the individuals they are connected with, and the organisations they work within.
My personal experience in leadership has spanned two decades, including leading teams within an FMCG environment in the areas of event management, human resources, public relations, and marketing, together with contributing in a Senior Leadership capacity.
I am a Clinical Psychologist, and I hold a Bachelor of Psychology Honours degree (First Class) and a Master of Clinical Psychology degree. My work is underpinned by Integral Theory and STAGES Levels of Development as they relate to the individual, and the individual as a leader, enhanced by my clinical knowledge and expertise.
Through creating a safe, professional, and trusting environment I aim to assist individuals to learn ways of working differently with their challenges, and to support individuals through difficult times and personal growth.
