Welcome to the very first issue of our newsletter!
At Building20, we believe work should be where people thrive because performance is aligned with purpose.
We help organisations and their leadership teams unlock their full potential by keeping their integrity and focusing on what truly matters.
We're challenging assumptions, surfacing the real dynamics of change, and getting on our soapbox about leadership as an outcome, not a job title. Each issue of the newsletter (roughly 6 per year) will signpost you to our latest news about complex accountability, organisational conflict and peace, performance improvement and more.
In this issue:
- New free complexity mini-course
- Latest articles on peace, change and integrity
- Recent testimonials

Integrity under pressure?
One of the biggest challenges our clients are facing right now is how to maintain their integrity while making difficult (maybe impossible) decisions. What does values-led leadership mean when those values feel under-recognised or are outright rejected?
Exploring the violence of change management for International Day of Peace
To celebrate #InternationalDayofPeace on 21st September, we published three blogs on Building20, calling for action towards peace in our workplaces. Too often work is characterised by exclusion, mistrust and unresolved grievances. These aren’t just “HR issues”. They’re systemic patterns that shape society.
We're looking for leadership teams who want to begin their next strategy cycle with healing and reconciliation to join us as a #PeacefulChange Partner.

Latest Testimonials
"Amanda scoped and designed the NExt Board Programme through collaboration across our internal team and external stakeholders, while responding to a complex variety of system leadership, succession planning and NHS provider requirements. Her communication was effective throughout, providing clear and timely feedback, and she successfully engaged very senior stakeholders in the delivery of the programme.
Amanda showed agility when circumstances required adjustments to the project scope, readily adapting her approach and expanding deliverables to meet evolving needs. This flexibility, combined with her proactive initiative and strategic thinking, ensured high-quality outcomes despite changing requirements.
I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda for future leadership programme delivery."
"Over five sessions across three months Amanda worked with me to prepare for organisational change. Her gentle, challenging, probing question helped me clarify values and expectations and priorities. I was able to use the time with her to work through scenarios, reflect on consequences, and build a clear sense of direction across personal and professional spheres.
When I learnt that I had been unsuccessful in the internal restructuring and would be made redundant I was able to draw on the sessions outputs, making a conscious decision to control and manage my response. Instead of falling into a ‘doom-loop’ I had a clear mental framework to draw on which enabled me to look at my situation differently, with clarity resilience, and hope.
It hasn’t been easy, but I’m deeply grateful for Amanda’s time and approach. Her support helped me build emotional resilience, reframe challenges, and face the future with renewed confidence as I explore new opportunities.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amanda to anyone seeking thoughtful, values-based coaching."
