Testimonials
The HOw people
I have been working with Amanda Morgan Thomas since The HOW People was the first seeds of an idea. This is the third business idea that I have taken to Amanda for guidance, advice and mentoring. She is a wise, funny, straight talking, friendly, open, trust worthy and honest business mentor. She will always listen, process and reflect back questions with valuable content live during discussions as well as and putting forward ideas in prompt and well presented emails.
Her presence as a mentor and friend during the growth of my last two small businesses and now in what I hope is the beginnings of a bigger growth business has been priceless. We are in a different digital sector now but Amanda will look out the right contacts and help that we will need to be able to continue to help our progress.
Connecting and igniting. Amanda is an absolutely top class mentor.

Best Practice Coaching
‘Amanda has a wealth of business experience and commercial acumen in equal measure but without any ego. I found her to be approachable, a good listener and incisive whilst remaining pragmatic. I recently benefited from her expertise about a problem that had the potential to stifle the sustainable growth of my organisation. She brought independent clarity of thought and encouraged me to step back and approach things through a broader lens. We are already reaping the benefits of our investment. As an SME business owner, I will not hesitate in accessing her services again, and I recommend her to others in my network without reservation.’

ORCHARD MEDIA & EVENTS GROUP
“Amanda played a pivotal role in developing the MediaTrain service at Orchard, and has been using her terrific coaching skills to prepare clients with a range of abilities to feel more relaxed and confident in front of media cameras and mics.”
Tim Powell, Director, Orchard Media and Events Group
“Amanda just creates the perfect environment. Her positive nature immediately puts clients at ease with even the most reluctant of participants leaving energised and motivated. Her knowledge and experience or performance/public speaking is invaluable in a coaching environment. Even coaching alongside her I learnt so much about my own ability to deal with things like nerves on live television, on preparation, and on projection at large venues. Amanda is the complete package when it comes to media training.”
“Amanda has provided an incredible amount of support to the businesses that are on the NatWest Accelerator. Her ability to connect with the Entrepreneurs on the programme has been extremely beneficial at sessions including power panels, guest speaking events and in general when approached by the Entrepreneurs on challenges and opportunities.
Having Amanda’s depth of knowledge across a broad range of business and operational areas has enabled her to comment and positively critique a number of scenarios that our Entrepreneurs and general supporters have faced. Most recently, Amanda has supported a new business with the challenge of potentially pivoting in light of COVID-19 providing a sounding board for that individual on due diligence, governance and competition.
Thank you Amanda for your incredible support thus far and we are really looking forward to working with you in the future.
