I welcome opportunities to engage with students and faculty. I am available for guest lecturing in organizational design, strategic communication, and leadership courses, offering practitioner insights into the application of Systems Theory and Organizational Behavior. I also serve on academic committees and seek opportunities for university-level service.
Applying Real-World Strategy to the Classroom
My research agenda focuses on culture dynamics, ethical leadership, and relational capacity. I am actively seeking partners for collaborative research projects, including survey design, data analysis, and publication, to advance knowledge in these areas.
Partnering on Organizational Inquiry
Leveraging my two decades of experience, I design and lead structured, evidence-based workshops for executive teams and organizational leaders. These focus on developing critical skills in change communication, employee engagement, onboarding, and ethical leadership for sustainable organizational performance.
Executive and Leadership Education
“Amanda is a rare talent -- a wonderful blend of high intellect, energy, compassion, and business acumen.
Her communication skills are absolutely top-notch, as evidenced by her ability to connect at a deep level with students and colleagues. I repeatedly observed Amanda's ability to seemingly work magic with students. It was, of course, not magic, but the result of hard work and pedagogical skill."
