Coach | Speaker | Designer | AuthorThe Amanda Greaves Group, LLC

Amanda Greaves has been part of the design and construction industries for over 25 years. The last 14 of them as the owner and lead designer of a successful, award-winning interior design firm. She knows what it means to run a client-facing business, manage a team, hold a multiple projects together, and make (almost) every significant decision alone.

In 2022, she made a deliberate pivot from designing spaces, to designing the people who live and function within them. As the founder of tAGg, The Amanda Greaves Group, she now works with entrepreneurs, firm owners, and design and construction professionals as an empowerment coach, transformational speaker, and business strategist. Her frameworks are built from the inside out on  clarity, alignment, and decision-making infrastructures that maintain purpose under pressure, and integrity over impulse.

The Virtual Board of Directors methodology was not developed for a course. It was built for her own business out of necessity. When Amanda realized she was the smartest person in her own room and it was becoming a problem, she saw a need for strategic improvement and built her own Virtual Board. She tested it, refined it, and ran her business through it before she ever taught it to anyone else. What participants experience in this session is not a concept. It is a working system.

Amanda is the author of The Chameleon Diaries: Designing a Life Worth Changing For, part memoir, part self-discovery guide; and she has spent the last three years developing AI-integrated coaching tools that bridge the gap between personal alignment and business performance.

She brings to every room what two decades in the trades taught her: that the most important system in any business is the one that governs how decisions get made. Amanda has spent the last four years making sure that no one has to figure out those systems alone. And that isn't a philosophy for her, it's the work she loves to share and bring to others.

IT'S TIME. 

You have spent years building something from the ground up. A firm. A portfolio. A reputation. You know how to read a room, manage a client, close a project, and do it again, and again. What you don't have (what very few people in this industry have) is a structured set of voices that listen, learn, push back, and help you make better decisions on everything you do for your company, for your clients, for your career and for your life.

IT'S TIME. 

You have spent years building something from the ground up. A firm. A portfolio. A reputation. You know how to read a room, manage a client, close a project, and do it again, and again. What you don't have (what very few people in this industry have) is a structured set of voices that listen, learn, push back, and help you make better decisions on everything you do for your company, for your clients, for your career and for your life.

This isn't a business partner. Not a consultant on retainer. Or a mastermind you go to once a quarter. 

This is a Virtual Board of Directors that is always available, always prepared, and always looking out for you and your best interest (even when you don't want to hear it).  A board that is built entirely around how you think (and how you don't); what your business needs (and what it doesn't); and the blind spots that live in your decision-making and strategies (that you may not even realize are there).

 That is what YOU will build in this session.

What is a Virtual Board of Directors? 

A Virtual Board of Directors is a structured set of named AI personas that are each assigned a specific domain within your business. You run your decisions, content, project strategies, client work business plans, etc. through a few or all of them whenever you need to. Each board member has:

  • A defined role and structured intention they own exclusively
  • A belief system and standard they never compromise on. Never.
  • A unique set of standing questions they run through every time you engage with them
  • A voice that will challenge you, hold you accountable, and always have the best interests of you and your business at the forefront of their existence

This is the team you never had the budget to hire. Your strategist, operations manager, chief of staff, brand director, revenue advisor and sanity checker.  All built within an AI platform you already have access to, and trained to challenge, support, push back, and encourage you to your highest and best capabilities.

This is not a casual conversation with a chatbot. It is a decision filter, a voice activator, and a built-in accountability system that you will build in this workshop, in real time.

What happens in the workshop:

We open with an accountability audit. A structured exercise that maps every major area of your business against one question: Who is holding you accountable here? Most industry professionals will find the honest answer quite alarming: No one.  This audit happens within the first 5 minutes of the sessionand becomes the blueprint for your board.  We start right away, and don't pause until we are done.

From there, you build:

  • Your Project Foundation.  Set up your Virtual Board of Directors inside the Claude AI platform that houses and runs your board.
  • Your first Board Member from the ground up. Define the role. Shape the belief system. Train the voice. Name it with intention. Determine their questions. And generate a complete persona file you can activate immediately.
  • A live board activation. The session closes with a live demonstration. Bring a real business decision that you have been sitting on. Run it through your newly built board member and watch what happens.  When a structured, intentionally built, opinionated voice that knows the ins and outs of your business and your personality pushes back on your thinking in real time - that is where the real value becomes clear.

This is interactive on your own computer. Watch each step live, then do it yourself. Watch. Do. Repeat. This is about YOUR business. YOUR Brand. YOUR Voice. YOUR Board.

Who this session is built for:

Professionals running their own business, industry associates that need more support, or anyone who knows there are gaps in their decision making and could use some help closing the gaps with certainty and confidence.

What to bring:

Your laptop logged into the WiFi network and an open mind. One business decision you have been avoiding or second guessing.

What you will leave with:

A named, active board member. A project structure you can build on. A decision filter that is set to success. And a take-home document and link that shares all the prompts, formats, and details you need to finish the build on your own time. 

"I use this platform every day, and this is something I have never seen before. That was the most comprehensive AI training I have ever gotten. This is a total game-changer to how I am going to run my business moving forward. Your excitement for the topic and enthusiasm gave me the energy to do what needed to be done. THANK YOU so very much!"" ~Josh Roberts, Leadership Coach, Retired Air Force

"I am so excited about what I just learned. This really is amazing. What an incredible way to see where we have blind spots, and to create the method to fix them in real time! Thank you. This was exactly what I needed for my business." ~ Betsy Hurst, Interior Designer 30+ years

Capacity Unlimited:No
Learning Objectives:By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1) Map their decision-making blind spots. Using a structured accountability audit, participants identify where their business is operating without a responsible voice across strategy, brand, revenue, management, operations, and relationships - and prioritize which gaps to fill first. 2) Build a complete AI board member persona. Participants define a board seat, shape the persona's role and belief system, name it with intention, and generate a set of questions the persona asks every time they are engaged. End result: a complete, uploadable persona file before the session ends. 3) Activate their board on a real business decision. Participants will run a current business challenge through their newly built board member inside Claude. This is experiencing firsthand how a structured AI persona functions as a decision filter, not a general assistant. They will leave with a working system they can use immediately. Option to have Amanda demo how her full Board functions and works together for her in her business's favor.
