📍 Based in: Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

“Strong businesses are built when leaders step out of the daily grind and start leading with clarity, structure, and intention.”

Many businesses don’t fail because of poor ideas—they stall because their leaders are trapped inside the day-to-day chaos.

Through Herber Consulting, Amanda works with growth-minded business owners and leadership teams to build systems that scale, cultures that support people, and operations that don’t depend on constant firefighting. Her work sits at the intersection of strategy, data, process improvement, and human behavior—a rare combination that turns good companies into resilient, self-managed organizations.

The Founder’s Journey

Although Herber Consulting was founded in 2017, Amanda intentionally kept it as a side venture while building deep expertise across operations, data analytics, accounting, information systems, and project management.

In 2025, she made a defining move.

She stepped into Herber Consulting full time, transforming years of preparation into a focused, purpose-driven consulting firm.

“It was the scariest and most rewarding decision of my career,” she shares.

That decision allowed Amanda to:

Clearly define her mission and positioning
Expand offerings with intention
Build a firm aligned with her values—not just demand

Today, Herber Consulting reflects a practice built on clarity, courage, and long-term thinking.

What Makes Herber Consulting Stand Out

Amanda’s work is grounded in a simple but powerful belief:

Businesses don’t scale on hustle alone—they scale on systems, alignment, and trust.

Her approach blends:

Data-driven insight (analytics, automation, dashboards)
Process discipline (PMP, Six Sigma, operational design)
People intelligence (behavioral assessments, communication styles, emotional intelligence)

She doesn’t deliver generic advice. Instead, she partners closely with founders and executives to:

Identify what’s actually blocking growth
Clarify priorities and decision-making authority
Align leadership teams around shared direction
Reduce dependency on the owner
Build organizations that perform without burning people out
