Amanda Cullen

I’m Amanda Cullen and I spent many years in the corporate world as a consultant and business leader, running business units within a global financial services business. I was the first woman to take on a leadership role within my business division, and had to learn quickly how to navigate successfully through a male-dominated world without compromising on my own style and values.

In 2012 I retrained as a coach and launched my own coaching business, initially focussed on coaching people who were moving into positions of leadership within their organisation - tackling challenges that ranged from people management, to business strategy, to sales.

In 2016 I wrote ‘What’s Your Excuse for not Loving Your Job?’ to help people who wanted to get more out of their current role, and their time at work. After all, we spend a lot of our time working, so it makes sense to maximise the enjoyment we get from it!

I'm now a business coach, working exclusively with people who run their own business.

My clients tackle challenges ranging from understanding what they want to achieve with their business - and defining what success means for them - right through to developing a clear strategy and plan of action to achieve their goals, and then implementing it.

I wrote ‘Your Business Cube”, published in 2021, for the business owner clients that I support now. It’s part guide, part exercise book, part toolkit, and packed with useful information and a wealth of exercises to help the reader work out exactly what they need to know AND do to make their business successful.
