My coaching sessions with Amanda have benefited me professionally, and the tools and strategies I have gained have also become valuable in my personal life…

I am a proud Meriam, Manbarra & Palawa woman and…I have had several sessions with Amanda from CoachStation, and it has positively impacted my life both personally and professionally. 

Professionally, I have developed as a leader, particularly in my communication and problem-solving skills. Amanda has equipped me with the tools to confidently navigate conflict, set clear expectations, and enhance my emotional intelligence, particularly my ability to regulate emotions. She has also equipped me with the tools to build and strengthen relationships within my team, including my line manager.

Amanda has taken the time to listen, learn, and get to know me as an individual, while creating space to better understand my identity and cultural needs as a First Nations woman. This takes time, patience, active listening, seeking clarification, and cultural sensitivity, including asking questions to understand whether certain language is appropriate to use. Additionally, Amanda’s in-depth and genuinely curious approach created a space for me to unpack and explore complex emotions and situations.

My coaching sessions with Amanda have benefited me professionally, and the tools and strategies I have gained have also become valuable in my personal life as a single working mother and First Nations musician navigating everyday challenges. I felt safe, seen & heard by Amanda and highly recommend her, particularly to First Nations staff seeking coaching support.
