Meet Amanda

There is something truly extraordinary about witnessing a student enter our training hesitant and nervous, only to watch them transform throughout the day into someone who walks out radiating newfound self-assurance and an eagerness to share their voice with the world.

My journey began in New York City, designing programs to turn nervous speakers into confident communicators. Over the past two decades, I’ve helped thousands—from the hesitant and unsure to the poised and powerful—step into their voice and own their story.

Watching that transformation unfold proved something powerful. The right words, spoken with conviction, don’t just change how people communicate. They change how people see themselves. They change the people in the room. This realization sparked my life’s work.

My purpose is to help you unlock yours.

At Arise, we believe your voice is the key to your purpose. Whether you’re leading a meeting, delivering a speech, or simply showing up in your life with conviction, we help you harness the power of your words.

Through 1-on-1 coaching, immersive workshops, and custom curriculums, we equip you with the tools to overcome your fears, communicate authentically, and make a lasting impact. When you find your voice, you find your purpose.
