I'm Amanda Hudson

I’m a leadership strategist and educator who helps managers lead effectively in the real world.

With over 20 years of experience leading teams across hospitality, technology, higher education sectors and my own businesses, I specialize in one thing: helping managers get results through people. I’ve been teaching leadership almost as long as I’ve been practicing it, and my approach is shaped by real-world experience, not theory alone.

After nearly two decades of teaching live courses, I distilled everything I know into The Adaptive Manager™, an 18-module leadership training program that teaches the most effective, research-informed skills managers need to lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.

- Fiorina Giovinazzo, Director at Indigo

"Having been in business for 6 years, I wish I would've taken the leadership course much earlier in my career."

- Lorena Agolli, Owner of Sole Survivor
