“I can’t thank Amanda Kizer enough! Amanda offers the perfect combination of passion, experience, work ethic and friendly ‘can do’ attitude. Thanks to Amanda we were able to quickly develop credibility and trust across the organization. Amanda has a unique combination of big-picture perspective, with hands-on ability to implement change vital to the function of our organization. We went from suffering with manual work-arounds to succeeding with fully-integrated business systems.”
Censia Pottorf
Head of HR at Opentrons
“I first worked with Amanda in 2017 when one of my clients needed to create within 3 months 20+ high-end training courses, each about an hour long. Amanda’s listening and technical skills, process, interaction with SMEs, extrapolation of content, and deliverables were superb. Since, she has developed two other subject-rich courses for me: sexual harassment and storytelling skills. Amanda is creative, adaptive, knowledgeable and an absolute gem to work with. Five star rating!”
