Amanda Hopkinson - Event Prof & Coach Extraordinaire!

I hired Amanda for my wedding day to ensure everything went smoothly. Amanda is highly organised and took a thorough briefing of the order of the day beforehand to enable her to deliver a perfect day for me and my husband. She dealt quickly and efficiently with any issues that arose using her initiative and expertise. She was extremely professional and obviously knows how to run a successful event. I can not recommend her highly enough.

Amanda is absolutely amazing! Could not recommend her enough. I had a 'DIY' wedding - with a marquee in the garden and various suppliers (catering, bar, loo, marquee, band , cake, photographer, florist...) Running up to the big day Amanda takes all the pain and stress away which allowed me to enjoy the run up, but I was also has some involvement and Amanda kept me up to date and we talked a lot - which was fab. I don't know what I would have done without Amanda on the day - she organised everything - kept the day running smoothly and has so much energy and enthusiasm. She also thinks of the all the little details that I would not have. Chris is also brilliant and did a fantastic job with the logistics. Could not recommend enough!

Amanda's support, accountability and no nonsense coaching was exactly what I needed to get through the multiple projects that I was juggling at the start of the year. With so much that I wanted to do, I risked getting overwhelmed and procrastinating. I achieved my goals, completed my projects on time and was able to let go of things that didn't serve me thanks to the clarity I got from Amanda's coaching.

I had a complimentary 20 minute session with Amanda as part of the of the office space I work and she was so helpful. I struggle with managing my time and organisation of my work load for the week but Amanda helped me understand how I work best and tips and ways to manage my workload and time going forward. Very useful and would definitely recommend. Thank you Amanda!

Amanda was an amazing help to me with my pricing structure and time management. She was very time efficient and quick tools and tricks to help. This is what I was looking for quick results ! I would highly recommend her for any of your business needs and I would use her again. Thank you Amanda !

I'm so pleased that I did life/business coaching with Amanda. As a freelance photographer, artist and dedicated mother my work and life are mixed and I needed to start making changes to move forward, grow and achieve for me and my family.She was a fantastic sounding board and helped me unpick my crowded and conflicted mind, to get to the bottom of the issues I was struggling with and gave me fantastic practical advice moving forward. She was very understanding but also listened and challenged some of my own thinking to help me understand what was holding me back and I now have a new understanding of what I really want career wise and how to get there.I'm so pleased that I reached out to her.

I was a little nervous about working with a business coach to be honest – I really wasn’t sure what to expect, and aren’t we (as business owners) supposed to be able to ‘do this on our own’? Well, that’s an example of the kind of thinking that really wasn’t serving me!Once I realised the importance of accepting help, belonging to a community and working with my own energy, instead of fighting my instincts, I was able to make big changes in my life and business. Amanda helped me recognise, plan and implement all of this.She is insightful, organised, kind (but firm!), and the ‘Queen of Getting Stuff Done’. Seriously, if you’re thinking of working with a business coach – book a call with Amanda – you won’t regret it.

When I found Amanda I was at the stage of my business where I felt stuck and was struggling to work out what was best to do with the time I had; I had ideas that I wanted to explore, but I knew the basics needed to be done properly, and I ended up frozen for a few months as I couldn’t work out where on earth to start. I could feel my self confidence ebbing away, and as I work on my own I was struggling to pick myself up and pull out of it.Amanda’s MIH group was an investment I could afford at a stretch, so I decided to go for it. Initially I was a little overwhelmed by the structure (I was coming from a place of zero structure) however her patience, clear explanatory videos and being part of a group quickly got me settled, and the accountability she holds me to is invaluable. I describe the co-working session as acting like a magnet between me and the chair!In just a couple of weeks I feel I have totally found my feet again, strapped some roller boots on and have a firm hand holding me up.

Being a member of the Make It Happen club has helped me grow more in a few weeks than I have ever done on my own. It offers an all-round approach with coaching, masterminding, and accountability. I also love the coworking sessions and find them so inspiring that I tend to look forward to them each week as my “laser focus” time. All of this positive energy that’s invested back into my business manifests as new business coming in and, more importantly, the RIGHT type of business. I’m clearer, more focused, motivated, and far more confident than I’ve been in months!Amanda’s approach to helping me grow my business is exactly what I need. She offers both a group and one-on-one approach which each have their benefits. She also gets right to the point, she is fully invested in you when she’s working with you, and encourages you to grow your business with the perfect balance of drive and understanding. SHE has become an integral part of my business.

Working with Amanda really helped me get clear about what direction I wanted to take as I was at a point in my life where I felt stuck. She helped me prioritise myself and stop being such a people pleaser! Working with Amanda has been invaluable as I now have a better relationship with my family and myself! She has a fun, yet firm and lovely energetic approach to coaching. Coaching with Amanda comes highly recommended.
