“Amanda got to the essence of me very quickly and 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. I use what I learned every day”
Nicky Reames, Director
“Amanda provided fabulous challenge to the areas I was working on but in a way that was also supportive and nurturing. She helped me harness self-belief to pursue things that are important to me and have confidence in wanting to do things differently and be a force for change. I left every conversation with a spring in my step and a calm, clarified mind.”

Fabulous...
Life Changing!
I'm Amanda Le Pape. I help women in financial services secure their first senior role, and succeed once they're in it — and I help organisations hold on to the female talent they've already invested in.
Hello!
You Are
Technically excellent. Values-led. Navigating male-dominated systems and the unspoken pressure to constantly prove yourself.
Maybe you're ready for your first senior role — but you're not being seen at the level you operate, and you're not advancing at the pace you deserve.
Or maybe you've recently stepped up — and the role feels heavier than it should. You find yourself over-thinking and hyper-vigilant.
Either way: what's holding you back isn't your capability. It's the invisible layer — the internal noise, the outdated strategies, the habits that helped you survive the culture but now hold back your leadership (and wellbeing).
If You Are in HR...
...you already know these women. They're the ones you can't afford to lose — and the ones most likely to leave. I work with organisations to develop them before the gap opens.

Praise For Amanda
”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.”
