“Amanda has coached the team to think at a much deeper strategic level. She is structured, provides insight and regularly challenges me to think about my decisions. Amanda has also assisted me to set up and Chair our advisory board. Whilst early days the rigour of that process has had a huge impact on the team and helped everyone lift their game.”
