The Productivity Coach

For Change-Making Entrepreneurs Doing Great Work

Your Great Work matters. <-period

It's not a casual 6-of-one, half-a-dozen-of-the-other, shrug of the shoulders whether you make it happen.

It matters to the world, it matters to your family, it matters to you, and it matters to me. 

But when we get tired of the grind, or confused about which decision will actually move us forward, or catch a glimpse of someone else "effortlessly" doing what you have been struggling to do for six weeks, it's common to entertain such terrifying thoughts as:

  • "Maybe I can't do it. Not won't or shouldn't or will struggle... but CAN NOT."
  • "What is wrong with me that I never get this (project, program, content calendar, podcast) done? Do I suffer from congenital procrastination?"
  • "Why does it look so easy when other people do it? Am I missing something obvious and making myself frenzied for no reason?"
  • "This might be too hard... it might not be worth it... I don't know if I even WANT to do this anymore."

This is where I come in...

I've been a business coach for entrepreneurs that help for a living, for a decade. My passion is to help you get organized, galvanized, and strategized for success; to create a business that makes money, creates personal freedom, and changes the world.

Because the world needs successful helpers with good intent and a passion for progress.

Why? 

Because while the world is in turmoil, ALL IS NOT LOST.

It's not lost because YOU (literally, YOU) want to help. 

And I can't think of anything better to do with MY life, than to support you to do your Great Work (and to help you enjoy the journey and create opportunities while you are at it!).

And listen, I know how challenging it can be to do Great Work when you feel confused, frustrated, and overwhelmed... because I've done it myself.

You can read all about my "inspiring" journey in my book (Great Work), but on this page, I'm offering something more than inspiration...

I'm offering HELP.

Amanda was just the person I needed to take my business to the next level.

 

Dr. Amanda Crowell was just the person I needed to take my business to the next level. She's a woman who can hold me accountable with nurturing and support. With her million-dollar smile, warmth, and her endless compassion, Amanda calms my inner critic and helps me make solid decisions aligned with my values. Her advice is pragmatic yet gentle. She has talked me off the ledge a number of times and has shown me how lots of baby steps add up to major progress and big change. Amanda's Great Work is showing us how to do our own.

I'm Here To Help You Do YOUR Great Work

In our work together we will focus on:

Managing Your Mindset

Your business is here to create opportunities for you, not make you feel stressed, frantic, or paralyzed. Utilizing my skills as a cognitive psychologist, My clients learn how to overcome defensive failure and rewire their beliefs so they can be unleashed on their Great Work. There's something so soothing about knowing that it's not you, it's SCIENCE.

Doing What You Say You Will Do

In order to overcome procrastination, perfectionism and burnout (the three horsemen of the goalpacalypse!) you need to change the way you spend your actual time. My clients learn how to leverage the time management system I created, the Great Work method, to optimize their fundamental relationship with time. This results in way more productivity with way less stress.

Making Money In Your Business

A business is designed to make money... when that gets lost it can start to feel like the worst hobby ever. Together we will ensure that ALL of your marketing and sales efforts are designed to build a platform and create clients. The opportunity to market is everywhere, if you can harness them in easeful ways, you will be successful and enjoy your business more.

Sharing Your Unique POV

Together we will ensures that your point of view is crystal clear and resonates across all of your content: from short-form social media, medium-form podcast episodes and blogs, and long-form projects like books. When we do this, we can help more people AND we will  discover that our unique point of view is powerful and needed.

Working with Amanda for 6 months was like an accelerated MBA program

 

Working with Amanda was an incredible learning experience. As a therapist, I've had extremely little training and knowledge about running a business. Working with Amanda for 6 months was like an accelerated MBA program. I learned how every opportunity to talk about your business is an opportunity to market it. Amanda has helped me find a way to do that in a way that fits with who I am as a person, business owner, and therapist. Whether that was by helping me to network confidently and authentically, plan an event, create marketing materials, plan and budget my fiscal year, or respond to interview questions, she helped me hone my business's voice and confidence. Her background in cognitive psychology allowed for extra help when I was feeling stuck with a particular task or decision; or when I felt overwhelmed by the strains of entrepreneurship. With Amanda, for the first time, I could talk about MONEY! And how I wanted to make some. Without feeling shame about being a bad therapist because of that goal. I feel so grateful for her wisdom, time, patience, and expertise and highly recommend her if your business is in need of finding its own authentic self.

Here Are the Top 5 Questions I Get Asked

  1. How can I figure out what really matters to move my business forward? What project should I do next? In what order? What if I make the wrong decision?
  2. How can I be sure that I'm building the business I actually want?
  3. How can I focus my time and effort so I can make real progress without feeling frenzied?
  4. How can I make sure that my unique point of view doesn't get lost in the AI-flooded noise of the internet? 
  5. How can I make sure that my massive investment of time results in opportunities for myself and my family, while leaving a legacy behind me?

WANT SOME HELP WITH ALL THAT?

There's nothing quite like individualized support. I only ever have a handful of private coaching clients at a time because I provide a lot of support. When you work with me, you have a thought partner walking right next to you who believes in your Great Work and will keep you moving.

The impact of this support on your business and life is INCREDIBLE!

Working with Amanda was an amazing experience!

Working with Amanda was an amazing experience– I had been trying to finish a project for over 10 years and after working with Amanda for 3 months, the project was done! She has a style that is both very focused and detail-oriented, but also very based on intuition — a great combination! I couldn’t have asked for a better coach to help me through this!

She’s helped me understand that I can’t always go full steam and not to feel discouraged.

I was able to challenge my own assumptions...and have more effective conversations with others.

Amanda supported me directly as a coach during my time as an Improvement Science Ambassador from 2015-16 and has continued to serve as a great resource for me and my colleagues in learning improvement science. She pushed my thinking constantly, was patient with me during my frustrations of learning the improvement science process, and ultimately helped me to be bolder in pursuing the racial equity work within the NYCDOE. During my project, I was building a protocol to help colleagues have a conversation about race in the workplace. It was lengthy and surface level, so Amanda asked me "what would it look like to get to the core of the conversation faster?" With her questioning and support in developing a new protocol, I was able to challenge my own assumptions about having these conversations and have more effective conversations with others.

She listens with intention and uses evidence-based tools to coach. As a coach myself, I have learned a lot from her.

Amanda has had a huge impact on my practice

I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda for over a year now. Amanda has had a huge impact on my practice.

Can working with a business coach be therapeutic and transformational?

Working with Amanda I discovered that it can! Not only has she been guiding (and pushing) me to take bold strategic steps to shape and grow my business but helping to face my fears, become aware of my inner blocks and ultimately dare to be more me in the world. And this is how strategies and concepts clicked for me, new doors opened, and exciting opportunities presented themselves.
