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.

Beyond the Code: Identity, Burnout & Resilience
Developers work in fast‑moving, high‑pressure environments where expectations change quickly and the cognitive load is constant. Even without writing code myself, I’ve spent years studying how people navigate change, burnout, and identity shifts in demanding roles. This session brings a human‑centered perspective to the Flutter community, offering space to reflect on the emotional side of building — the part that often gets overlooked in technical conversations.
We’ll explore what burnout actually feels like, why identity gets shaken during rapid growth or transition, and how individuals and teams can build resilience in sustainable, practical ways. This talk is designed to support the humans behind the code, giving attendees tools they can use immediately to feel more grounded, connected, and clear in their work.
Key Takeaways
- A simple, accessible framework for understanding burnout and how to interrupt it
- Why identity shifts happen during career changes, promotions, or high‑pressure cycles
- Practical resilience tools that don’t require extra time or energy to implement
- How to communicate more clearly during stress or uncertainty
- Ways to support teammates (and yourself) during periods of rapid change
