Do You...
Constantly Second-Guess Yourself?
Even though you’ve achieved so much, you still find yourself questioning if you’re truly up to the job. You'd love a stronger 'anchor within' and sense of self to keep you balanced, creative and effective.
Overthink and over-analyze?
Sometimes you find yourself caught in a cycle of what-ifs and how-abouts, which drains your energy and slows down decision making and progress. You'd love to move forward with greater clarity.
Struggle to balance the strategic with the operational?
There's so much going on, it feels like you are constantly juggling the immediate curve balls so it feels indulgent to pause, reflect and think strategically. You want more balance between the 'now' and inspiring others to work towards the vision.
Feel the need to constantly push yourself or find yourself continually working long hours despite promising yourself you will exercise)?
Putting in the graft used to be the thing that made the difference, but now it doesn't seem to get the same results, just leaves you feeling stressed and exhausted. You want a effective, inspired way of working that gets results.
Struggle to let go of things or focus on the less impactful (but familiar) activities?
You have doubts that others will get it right without you, so you become overly involved. You want a way of working that sets you free to create and lead well, and helps grow others.
Feel out of kilter, like something's 'off' and could be better?
You might feel like you are disconnected from a sense of purpose or your full capability and potential. You are putting in lots of effort, but it feels hard at times and like burnout or some imagined failure is not far away. You want a sense of connected purpose and sustainable resilience that can fuel you through these high VUCA times.
Want things to be different but aren't sure where to begin?
Something is keeps you stuck, but identifying the exact 'what' has eluded you so far. You are up for growth, undoing what needs to be undone, and simplifying where necessary.
You know there's a 'next level' for you. You just need a little help to get you there.
I'm Amanda Le Pape, and I help leaders, founders and entrepreneurs grow themselves, their teams, and their business, AUTHENTICALLY, from the inside-out.

The Impact of Authentic Leadership
Praise For Amanda
”The work we did has filled me with confidence and a much greater understanding of myself, my strengths, what drives me and what I contribute to the world. It literally has been a life-changing, uplifting experience.”
- Nicky Reames, Talent Search Consultant
”Amanda's coaching was critical in supporting me to deal successfully with a myriad of differing challenges in my role including managing a very high profile and sensitive network of stakeholders within a complex commercial and political environment. I would recommend Amanda wholeheartedly to anyone seeking exec coaching support, but most particularly to women or to those stepping up into a new role.”
- Cath Possamai, CEO
”Amanda has an amazing ability to drag stuff out of me, that once I heard come out of my own mouth made me realise how I had been unfair, unrealistic and unhelpful to myself and those that I support and lead. Through my coaching sessions, I have definitely strengthened my ‘inner calm’. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a better and happier version of themselves.”
- Kate Lander, CEO
”Amanda’s friendly and calm approach makes you feel instantly at ease and like you’ve worked with and known her for years from the first session. She has helped me to rediscover myself and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be feeling how I am today about a world of open possibilities without her support and guidance. I would encourage people who want some real self-insight and potential unlocking to seek her out.”
- Matthew, HR and OD, NHS
”Open, engaging and wonderfully empathetic, Amanda possesses an exceptional talent for creating the conditions that enabled truly meaningful reflection and learning to occur. Through careful listening, attentive questioning and constructive challenge she catalyzed deep and enduring personal development. Each and every session unlocked a treasure-trove of valuable insight and I never failed to be struck by how much ground we covered together. Amanda is an outstanding coach whom I recommend unreservedly.”

Why are Authentic Leaders so Effective?
Self-awareness is THE most crucial developmental breakthrough for accelerating personal leadership growth and authenticity.' ~ Zes & Landis 2014
A leader in an organisation, an entrepreneur or a founder.
You've come a long way already, but now it's time to get to the next level - one that has more ease and less stress!
It's time to begin re-defining, creating and moving into a newer, more empowered vision for yourself, and crucially, who you might need to BE in order to bring that vision forth.
It's time to strengthen your inner resources that will provide dependable ballast and direction, enabling you to navigate the uncertain terrain of our modern VUCA world, with awareness, connection, resilience, presence and creativity.
It's also about letting go of old habits and ideas that no longer serve you or those around you; so you can collectively focus on getting the job done, with the least amount of 'noise' possible. Less faff, more peace.
You are looking for a way of leading which is authentically you (not something you've read about in a book), empowering you to confidently unleash YOUR unique gifts, YOUR inner-genius, and bring these into the world of work, life and relationships with confidence, clarity and courage.
You need a sustainable and ENERGISING way of working that's going to keep you and the teams you lead well and thriving way into the future.

More of What Amanda's Clients Say...
”Amanda was my executive leadership coach over the course of several months. I found her to be the perfect mix of knowledge, empathy and honesty, providing meaningful, actionable coaching. She opened new paradigms and helped me explore and improve my style and approach. She helped me a be a better leader, but more importantly she helped me be a better person.”
- Kumen Call, VP Finance
”With Amanda’s coaching I took bold steps and achieved numerous accomplishments (including delivering a TED talk) that would have taken a lot longer and may never have been achieved without her help. I would highly recommend working with Amanda.”
- Neil Walker, MD
”Her questions open doors and thoughts that I might not otherwise have reached. I found the coaching with Amanda empowering and my confidence levels have increased - it has really helped me professionally and personally - I feel calm, content, mindful and READY. I have enjoyed and value every minute. If you are considering working with Amanda, do it. You won’t regret it.”
- Sean Pilcher, Director of Risk (UK Bank)
”The coaching has been brilliant and worth its weight in gold. I knew that culturally it would be very hard for anyone to significantly challenge me as commander. I also knew that I would likely have the paradox of having to drive change hard through cultural barriers concurrent to inviting challenge and fresh ideas to overcome significant structural issues within the brigade. Having a coach has been excellent. Amanda challenged me and helped me question my logic, assumptions and rationale such that I significantly strengthened my position or exposed issues early. Having no military experience, she drove me to do this from first principles and called out any bias, conscious or otherwise. It was a safe space for me to discuss the things worrying or taxing me; invariably around people, processes and the way we were delivering change. It allowed me to clear and garner my own thoughts; critically it forced me to stop and think."
- Brigadier N, OBE, British Army

"I came out of the coaching, more rounded, focused and more equipped to handle the variety of challenges which come from leading a multi-million pound operation. I have now been approached to set up a new team within a new organisation, which is an exciting opportunity and one I probably wouldn't feel prepared for if it wasn’t for some of Amanda’s great work."
Kevin's Results...
I manage my emotions better, taking time to reflect and focus on the important tasks and improve my resilience.
I was able to influence in a more productive way, using subtlety rather than coming across forceful which was always a challenge previously.
My clarity of message improved as I was focusing on the important items and understanding the tone of the floor to improve my messaging
My confidence levels improved as we looked at ‘imposter syndrome’ how to deal with it
My stress levels improved as my resilience increased, focusing on the important tasks
My profile within the organisation improved as I was able to manage situations with greater poise, which also improved my impact
I allowed myself time to focus on strategic thinking & allocated time to this within my agenda which had significant benefit."
