Amanda Lentz is a keynote speaker, podcast host, and Human Resources Business Partner whose work lives at the intersection of lived experience and organizational psychology.
When she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 34 — mid-career, mid-build, and firmly between the young adult oncology world and the general cancer landscape — she survived. What came next was harder to name: the identity shift, the disorientation, the rebuilding of a self that no longer fit its previous shape. No program existed for that conversation. So she built one.
She is the creator and host of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change, a podcast gathering honest stories of reinvention after disruption. Her graduate work spans I/O Psychology, Leadership Development, and Business Administration, and she brings that framework to every stage she stands on.
Amanda speaks to healthcare conferences, women's leadership events, survivorship organizations, and corporate teams navigating transformation. Her signature talks — The In-Between, Navigating the After, Both at Once, and The Body You Didn't Choose — give audiences language for the experience they've been living but couldn't name.
Change is inevitable. Becoming is intentional.
