I am an experienced Facilitator and Coach with a rich history in the professional training and coaching field. I love to help people excel as they are the building blocks of any business. This includes helping to identify latent talent, to promote ownership for personal development, to ultimately develop untapped potential. Other strengths include management development, performance management, and learning programme development.
Accreditation
In 2019 I was accredited by the NeuroLeadership Institute as a Brain-based coach after successfully completing the 16-week programme with Results Coaching System.
Prior to qualifying as a Brain-based Coach, I also completed an online Instructional Design Certificate at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2017.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree, ordained by the University of South Africa (UNISA) in 2002, with the major subjects being – Communication (of course) and Industrial psychology (which I so enjoyed).
Experience
My design, facilitation, and coaching background stems from excessive (20 years plus) experience as a Consultant and Facilitator which was the platform to also coach delegates during and after workshop engagements.
I managed a team providing in-house training for a division of approximately 800 people within the banking industry as well as a service quality team that measured and monitored the delivery of customer service.
My exposure to the retail, banking, and mining industries as well as my exposure to the public sector gives me a very broad perspective on business and service quality requirements.
Testimonials
Wendy Muofe, Geologist
The coaching was an eye-opener for me and helped me not just in my career but also in my personal space. There are so many challenges that one goes through at work which are more influenced by personal issues than work issues. The coaching helped me in dealing with deeper issues that I didn’t even know could affect my career so much. Through the coaching, I have managed to build so much confidence and I now believe in myself and capabilities even more. I love your patience and caring character. I could really tell that you’re in to make a change in people’s lives. Thank you so much and continue doing the amazing work.

Poonam Bhaga-Muljee, Senior Cost Controller
Dear Amandah,
Poonam attended two workshops (while working at GIBB Engineer) which were facilitated by Amandah (as part of a contract with Growth-Link).
The courses I have attended have allowed me to broaden my knowledge in terms of managing workplace relations, developing innovative measures and creatively resolving problems. I thoroughly enjoyed these modules especially the way that these classes were conducted. My favourite being the team-building exercises and not forgetting the dancing moves. The personal interactions and trust created made this a memorable journey which I will carry with me through my career growth.
Thank you for the great opportunity,
Warmest regards
Poonam Bhaga-Muljee
Dear POONAM, it was great working with you and learning from you. Your dedication to what you do and how you engage with others is truly inspiring.
