The Right Conversation Changes Everything.

The higher you go, the fewer people tell you the truth.

You have people who report to you. People who depend on you. People who want something from you. Very few will challenge your thinking, help you see what you're missing, and ask the questions that can change the direction of your business — and your life.

Why my perspective is different

A perspective built across every kind of leadership room.

I've coached executives from multi-billion-dollar global organizations, C-suite leaders, government organizations, the United Nations in Geneva, universities, healthcare systems, manufacturing companies, engineering firms, nonprofits, family-owned businesses, and entrepreneurs building something from nothing. That perspective allows me to ask questions most people never think to ask.

Strategic & Deeply Personal

We don't just solve today's problem. We uncover the beliefs, assumptions, blind spots, and patterns that created it in the first place.

Multi-Disciplinary Lens

My work draws from leadership development, emotional intelligence, adult learning, sports psychology, neuroscience, somatic approaches, human behavior and organizational strategy. Every discipline gives me another lens through which to see the whole person.

Leadership Restoration

Leadership Restoration is my approach to developing the whole person doing the leading—bringing together strategic thinking, honest conversation, relationships, physical awareness, movement, purpose and more than 30 years of experience working with leaders.

About Amanda

I'm Amanda Carrothers

I've worked with leaders at every level — across industries, cultures, countries, business models, and economic systems. I've watched leadership play out in ways that no textbook captures. That perspective allows me to ask questions most people never think to ask, and to see what others miss.

I've learned something surprising: leadership challenges are rarely just business problems. What are you really up against? What aren't you seeing? What conversation aren't you having? My work makes room for those questions — and for the person doing the leading.

The Work Is Personal

Underneath the immediate issue, the work is always personal.

See How I Work

You may come to me because of your leadership, your business, your marriage, your team, your health, or a major decision.

But underneath the immediate issue, the work is always personal.

My role is to see the whole picture, help you recognize what others may be missing and ask the questions other people will not.

No standardized program.

No predetermined path.

Just thoughtful, honest, highly customized work designed around who you are, what you're navigating and who you're becoming.

Ways We Can Work Together

Every engagement is different because every person is different. These seven dimensions give us a way to see the whole person — not simply the presenting problem.

Before we talk about solutions, I'd like to understand how you're doing — not just as a leader, but as a person.

If you're interested in working together, the first step is a 45-minute conversation. You'll share what's working, what's challenging you, and where you want to go. There is no hard sell. I work with a limited number of people and organizations, and I only say yes when I believe there is meaningful work we can do together.
