coaching for HR leaders
the coaches behind the culture
Meet Your Coach
Hi — I’m Amanda Escobedo. I’m an HR Leader and certified coach who’s spent over a decade navigating the real challenges HR faces — from tough Leaders to complex employee dynamics. Coaching transformed how I Lead, influence, and create impact. It gave me the tools to turn my natural strengths into intentional, confident action.
Now, I help HR professionals do the same.
As an HRBP or HR leader, you’re not in a position of power — you’re in a position of influence. And that is your superpower.
The magic of HR lies in your ability to shape relationships, people strategies, and organizational culture — not by authority, but by presence, trust, and insight. A high-performing, purpose-driven workforce doesn’t build itself. It requires someone who can take the tempo of the organization:
The strength of its leaders
The pulse of its people
The needs of its talent
While leaders are often consumed with business metrics and decision-making, HR is uniquely positioned to remind them that the business is people. People with different motivators, potential, obstacles, and needs. And your role isn’t just to support that complexity — it’s to influence it in a way that drives real outcomes.
That’s why strengthening your HR team isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s a business imperative.
When HR professionals don’t have the tools, coaching, or confidence to lead with intention, the ripple effects show up fast: reactive decisions, missed opportunities, and strained relationships across the organization.
Many HRBPs — even experienced ones — fall back on policy or people-pleasing, simply trying to resolve tension or execute on requests. But true strategic partnership requires more: the ability to pause, assess, coach, and influence outcomes that serve both the people and the business.
At Empowerhouse, we help HR professionals tap into that power.
Through coaching, they gain the clarity, presence, and practical tools to lead with influence — and to model that leadership for others.
Build influence. Lead change. Elevate culture.
Partner with Empowerhouse to develop the HR leaders your organization needs.

building STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
Strengthen authentic connections by understanding what drives others, sharing who you are, and building trust that lays the foundation for true partnership—not just compliance.
LEADing WITH INFLUENCE
Gain practical tools to guide leaders in embracing your insights and co-creating solutions—so they act because they believe in the shared direction, not because they’re told. Become the trusted advisor executives seek out when stakes are high.
grounded DECISION-MAKING
Recognize when leaders are acting out of emotion or stress and learn techniques to help them pause, regain perspective, and make clear, rational decisions that align with business goals.
ENABLING EMPLOYEE-DRIVEN RESOLUTIONS
Transition from being the problem-solvers to facilitators of employee-led resolution. This approach provides HR with the tools to cultivate and empowered and self-sufficient workforce that can navigate and resolve issues directly and constructively.
Transforming Conflict into Partnership
Facilitate conflict conversations that move beyond blame. Guide employees to uncover root causes together, agree on solutions, and rebuild working relationships that strengthen the team.
PERFORMANCE MANAGing TO CLARITY
Support leaders in moving beyond frustration to grounded, intentional action—coaching employees through challenges by identifying root obstacles, offering fair opportunities for success, and staying anchored in the belief that growth is possible. When clarity is gained, whether it leads to progress or a tough decision, leaders act with confidence—not reactivity.
MASTERing CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK
Learn to deliver specific, actionable feedback that drives improvement. Use communication techniques that reduce defensiveness, increase understanding, and motivate meaningful change.
These coaching focus areas transform HR professionals into confident, creative leaders who inspire and empower others. By adopting a coaching mindset—rooted in curiosity, empathy, and clear communication—your HR team will develop the confidence and skills to guide leaders and employees through complex challenges. They’ll unlock innovative solutions, cultivate trust, and build leaders who coach their own teams—turning HR into a catalyst for growth, engagement, and long-term success.
how Empowerhouse works
We don’t just coach HR teams — we activate human potential.
At Empowerhouse, we believe creativity is more than artistry — it’s a way of navigating life and business. From resolving conflict and influencing leaders to building high-performing teams and shaping culture, everything is a creative process. And creativity doesn’t begin with strategy — it begins with self.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that when HR leaders deeply know themselves, they lead more authentically, connect more powerfully, and influence more effectively.
We blend self-discovery, intuitive intelligence, and practical tools that cultivate presence, unlock creative thinking, and drive meaningful change.
Whether you’re seeking a one-time seminar or an immersive development journey for your HR team, Empowerhouse creates customized programs built around your organization’s unique challenges and goals.
But we also know this: growth doesn’t happen in a single training.
True development is a process.
It’s educational. It’s practical. And it requires ongoing support and accountability to turn insight into transformation.
Every leader is on their own journey.
Our role is to meet them where they are — and help them rise.
All of our coaching is grounded in emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and type-based insight (MBTI). These aren’t just tools — they’re the creative foundations that make real transformation possible.
