Today’s episode of The Manage Her features Amanda Jagger — Executive Coach at Novus Global and co-founder of the Meta Performance Institute.

Amanda’s story is one of resilience and intentional culture-making. After earning her Master’s in Leadership and Ministry, she spent nearly a decade homeschooling her sons before stepping fully into coaching in 2014. By 2017 she had joined Novus Global, helping build their unique franchise model and co-creating the Meta Performance Institute, where coaches are trained not just in the art of coaching, but also in the business skills needed to thrive.

As a single mom who now has one son at UCLA and another about to graduate high school, Amanda brings a powerful perspective on applying executive coaching principles to parenting. From raising her boys on commitments instead of rules, to fostering a household culture built on respect and honor, her approach offers lessons for both family life and leadership in business.

In this episode, we explore:

•Amanda’s path from homeschooling to executive coaching

•How the Meta Performance Institute helps coaches succeed

•The difference between rules and commitments in parenting

•Creating culture at home with language, agreements, and respect

•Preparing for the empty nest season while building a thriving career

If you’re curious about executive coaching, building strong family culture, or what it looks like to live your values at work and at home, you’ll love this conversation.
