About Amanda Hirsch (she/her)
I’m an improv-fueled writer and story coach. The author of two books, I also run Mighty Forces, a company that helps change makers and creative souls find the words and create the online presence to show the world who they are.
P.S. Wondering what exactly “improv-fueled” means? I have a background in improv comedy, and I’m passionate about the lessons this art form offers for how we live and work. I even wrote a book about it, called Improvising Adulthood.
More About Amanda
I’m obsessed with meaning. I ask “why” a lot. My drive to dig beneath the surface of things makes me a powerful strategist and an active spiritual seeker.
What you see: A middle-aged woman sitting on a bench, petting a dog.
What’s going on in my head: What does the way we talk about our work say about the way we live? What is the role of education, really? I wonder what this land looked like before it was colonized.
I’m ready for bed by 9pm* (*7pm)
All that seeking and storytelling wears a girl out! That moment I get into bed and crack open my book, or hit “play” on The Office for the six zillionth time, I am at peace.
