If yes, then Firefly’s leadership coaching is a great match for you. Leadership Coaching is for individuals who are ready to level-up and grow in meaningful ways.
“I came into the engagement with one area of focus and concern, time management. Over the years, mentors and coaches have recommended the obvious time tracking tools. Amanda took a different route. She focused on the psychological reasons behind my time management issues and the impact it has on others. It turns out I over subscribe my time leaving no room for focused engagements. Once I was able to reflect on how that impacts me and others, I was able to manage my time better. Amanda got me to the endzone without feeling insecure about an area of improvement. Her coaching allowed me to solve this problem on my own which made it even more effective.”
-Sharmarke Afgab, Director Technical Services, Ipro
MY LEADERSHIP COACHING PROCESS
Throughout our 6-month partnership we will work toward data-based goals and create breakthroughs that reverberate in positive ways for many years to come. Our partnership unfolds through 4 phases of work:
PHASE 1: LEADERSHIP X-RAY
Gather data, often using The Leadership Circle Profile 360 and/or interviews, to assess leadership impact and experiential reality
Partner to make sense of the data in relation to work and personal desired outcomes
Establish goals for the coaching engagement
PHASE 2: EXCAVATE & EXPERIMENT
In this phase, we excavate productive and unproductive mindsets, structures, and habits
We explore how to maximize your strengths and address barriers that hold you back
Through experimentation, we test new practices, rebuild your mental models, and revisit or learn new skills
PHASE 3: ZOOM OUT & REFINE
At the mid-point we assess our progress and solicit feedback to shape our focus for the second half of the engagement
In our final sessions we respond to real-time feedback as we begin to realize your goals
PHASE 4: CRYSTALLIZE
As we close-out our work together we lift out new insights, skills, and conditions for success
We crystallize key mindsets and routinize peak performance habits and we look beyond the engagement to build the foundation for continued growth
WHAT COULD WE COVER? Common coaching topics include:
Leadership presence
Change management
Emotional intelligence
Setting vision and direction
Strategic thinking
Transforming team cultures
Distribution of work
Time & energy management
Feedback and coaching
Overcoming habits that hold you back: perfectionism, pleasing or hurried tendencies, etc.

what firefly’s clients are saying…
“I have found tremendous value in my coaching work with Amanda. After each session, I come away with actionable, relevant and timely coaching along with perspective that has made me a better manager. The engagement has been an enlightening personal journey and career pivoting experience for me.”
-Reed Gusmus, VP Marketing, Profisee
“Amanda, is an inspiring, thought-provoking, and talented personal coach. She has the unique ability to help you chart your own path, identify what the roadblocks are, and to systematically move them out of the way so that you can find success. I deeply value the gift of her guidance and cannot underscore enough how much of a difference it made in my work and personal life to have her as a guide along my journey.”
-Julie Badger, Product Learning Experience Manager, Ipro
“Amanda was my executive coach and fueled a time of incredible growth for me and the organization I led, and I was also lucky enough to attend a number of executive leadership conferences that Amanda designed and facilitated. Amanda creates and holds space in which we can be vulnerable and ambitious, and then she continues to invite you to push past your limits. She deeply and unconditionally believes in the very best of the people she is working with, so that even when I would doubt myself, Amanda would hold up a mirror to remind me why I can do this, and why my community deserves my best. As my coach and as a designer and facilitator of executive group conferences, her impact extended beyond each of us individually to our teams and communities across the country.”
-Katie Campos, Partner, Strategic Collective
“Amanda is one of the people that I absolutely credit with helping get me where I am today. She coached me at a time when I was discovering who I would be as a leader. For a long time I was overly fixated on my shortcomings, and Amanda's coaching helped me let go, see my own strengths, and focus on leading in a way that was true to myself. Most importantly, she challenged me a lot and held me accountable to my own goals when I felt like giving up on a variety of things. She is absolutely a great mentor, leader, and coach.”
