Your organization is adopting AI. Your people aren’t sure they trust it.
I help HR leaders and executive teams navigate burnout, culture breakdown, and AI-driven workplace change — without sacrificing trust, safety, or performance.Trauma-Informed Workplace Consulting
Sound familiar?
Burnout isn’t easing up — it’s getting worse.
AI is coming in through the side door.
Leadership is flying blind.
Why standard approaches fall short
Most HR consulting treats the symptom.
This work treats the system.
When burnout, fear-based culture, or AI-driven disruption show up in your organization, the default response is usually a new policy, a new platform, or a new training module.
What’s missing is an understanding of how people actually respond to pressure, change, and loss of control — and how those responses shape communication, decision-making, retention, and trust at every level of the organization.
Trauma-informed HR consulting doesn’t mean bringing therapy into the boardroom. It means understanding the human patterns underneath your most persistent workplace problems — and building systems that reduce harm instead of compounding it.
The Amanda Amiel difference
Not anti-AI. Not generic wellness. Not another compliance checklist.
I bring together trauma-informed HR expertise, direct experience in high-stress regulated environments, and a practical understanding of how AI adoption either reduces friction — or amplifies fear, surveillance, and burnout risk.
Most consultants can talk to you about AI or about workplace culture. Very few can connect nervous system dynamics, leadership blind spots, power and communication patterns, and the way new technologies amplify existing harm — all inside a single engagement.
That’s the work. And it’s why organizations that are serious about sustainable performance — not just short-term compliance — reach out.

Built for high-stress organizations where the stakes are real
This work is most effective in healthcare-adjacent and regulated environments — hospitals, health systems, behavioral health networks, legal and financial services, social services — where hierarchy, burnout, retention challenges, and poor communication are already present, and where AI is beginning to reshape how people are recruited, managed, and supported.
You’re in the right place if you are:
- ✓ An HR leader navigating AI adoption without a clear people-centered framework
- ✓ A CHRO or VP People managing culture breakdown and high turnover in a high-pressure environment
- ✓ An executive team that rolled out AI tools and is now managing the trust fallout
- ✓ A people leader who wants to do this right before it becomes a crisis
