Testimonial: “Amanda many thanks for your guidance and advice, it was lovely working with you through the BeTalent assessment process, and I am feeling very motivated about my development going forward. I particularly appreciated identifying my strengths and understand how I can enhance those strengths to support my team and my peers”. Rozanne Davis, Head of Fruit, Innocent

“I undertook a structured, six-month one-to-one leadership coaching program with Amanda, and it has been the most influential development experience of my career. Her skills as a chartered psychologist were invaluable in the coaching process. She was extremely quick to identify the real issues at hand and pushed me to understand myself better, all of which have been instrumental in helping me to elevate strengths and recognise weaknesses in my leadership style. Amanda has a direct, personable and empathetic approach; her style is authentic and friendly whilst not being afraid to push and challenge you. I particularly enjoyed Amanda’s use of the BeTalent questionnaires to help me understand my strengths, values and leadership style”. Emma Williamson, Director, M&G Real Estate
