Close Up Radio Spotlights Amanda Madorno of Roam Consulting LLC

Redmond, WA – Amanda Madorno, award-winning coach and business consultant believes emotional intelligence (EQ) is the foundation of leadership excellence, yet many leaders need more than they possess.

“Emotional intelligence is about the level of deep and honest personal insight we have about ourselves: who we are, and what emotionally drives our behaviors in specific situations,” says Amanda. “It’s also about understanding how we impact people through our words and our behavior.”

Amanda is the founder of Roam Consulting LLC, a leadership coaching and development firm. She works with seasoned C-suite executives as well as emerging leaders on building their emotional intelligence to be more effective in their leadership roles.

Amanda’s leadership coaching and consulting is informed by what she herself has learned as a leader. Her experience includes 18 assignments as an Interim CEO, often in pressured situations where she needed to orchestrate financial and management turnarounds.

What makes Roam Consulting unique is her Leadership with Horses leadership development program, where she teaches leaders how to improve their emotional intelligence through interactions with horses. This type of experiential learning has been shown to be amazingly effective at helping leaders in a transformative way.

Horses respond in the moment to how you show up as a leader. They offer unfiltered feedback, no politics. Leaders learn that how they deal with horses is often how they deal with people.

“The program is about helping leaders become aware of their behavior in real time and what happens when they change it,” says Amanda.
