Amanda, the Director of LaytonLearning, believes that people are both resourceful and capable. She therefore creates a coaching environment that provides an important, safe space which enables people to maximise their own performance and potential.
Amanda’s approach is to work alongside the client, to help them articulate their aspirations, to clarify their goals and achieve their chosen outcomes. Her coaching is designed to be supportive, positive and challenging, with an emphasis on solutions and results. She does this through providing space for clients to explore their issues and experiences, to learn from self reflection, to generate options and test out ideas, and arrive at decisions and actions that feel right for the individual. It is a fully confidential process.
Amanda is a licensed practitioner in a range of personality tools including Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) and Firo B™ and she qualified with Management Futures – London. She is also an NLP advanced practitioner and has extensive experienced in collecting and delivering 360 degree feedback, including the NHS Leadership Qualities Framework feedback tool.
