smartstepper Profile

Currently based in Weston, MA, Amanda has a training and development background, gained from over twenty years’ in banking and financial services in the UK, and personal experience of having dealt with building her own self estem and confidence, having been a rather shy and retiring pony-mad tomboy! She has also experienced many of lifes transitions – some of them intentional and others unwelcome and unexpected, but all of them an opportunity to learn and grow.

Professionally she has helped create new corporate training teams, and has delivered a variety of training programs within large organizations, which have included LloydsTSB,  Abbey National (now part of Santander) and Save & Prosper Group (now part of JP Morgan), which led her to realize that her passion is in supporting other people in reaching their personal goals, both with face to face coaching and in developing and presenting small interactive group seminars.

She trained as a Color and Image Consultant with Beauty For All Seasons, and worked with women from a variety of backgrounds and age ranges to build their outer confidence and refine their wardrobes, and can now bring this experience of creating positive transitions into her work as a life coach.

Amanda’s qualifications include Certificate in Training Practice from the Institute of Personnel and Development CITP, Bachelors degree from the Open University and Diploma from The Life Coaching Institute DipLC (LCInst.)

She enjoys supporting and encouraging  people to get to know themselves better and to face the issues that are preventing them from achieving what they want in their lives and to take the steps towards success – smart steps!
