Hi, I'm Amanda (she/her)

I’m an experienced leader whose passions lie in quality leadership, building authentic relationships, helping others succeed, and solving complex problems. I’m well known for my clear and direct communication, and I pride myself on setting well-defined expectations and driving accountability and performance with warmth, compassion, and sincerity.

In both my personal and professional interactions, I value inclusivity, the way I make people feel, and the impact I have on others. I strive to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves, foster psychological safety, and promote a culture of well-being.
 

I founded NextPhaseHR because I know how hard it is to find a consultant you can trust—someone who feels like part of your team. In my corporate career, I could support one organization at a time, but through my consultancy, I can help many more. I truly love leading and supporting people, and this work allows me to make a broader impact while doing what I’m most passionate about.
 

Community matters deeply to me. I’m proud to serve as a Board Member of the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting the vibrant community of Port Coquitlam—one of the three cities that make up the Tri-Cities region Darren and I have proudly called home for many years.

Living a full, joyful life outside of work is also a non-negotiable for me. Whether I’m off on an adventure with my incredible husband, Darren, and our playful rescue pups, Jack and Ben, riding my Harley (“Joy”), enjoying a comedy show, traveling, or spending time with amazing friends—you can be sure I’m always striving to live life to its fullest.
