Biography
Dr. Amanda Holdsworth, APR, founder of Courses for Communicator, spent close to 20 years as a communications and PR director before becoming a full-time assistant professor and course designer. She initially became a professor because she had a strong desire to help train future communications professionals in the skills she knew they needed, as well as in the ones she had seen hundreds of job candidates lack.
The problem? Much of the content Amanda was asked to teach was dated, so she began creating her own courses and trainings centered on things communicators and entrepreneurs need not only in their roles now, but to succeed in their careers tomorrow.
Originally from Canada, Amanda now lives in the U.S. with her family. She earned both a Master of Arts in Strategic Public Relations and a Doctor of Education in Organizational Change and Leadership from the University of Southern California. She's earned 24 industry awards for her work in PR and marketing, has spoken at conferences around the world and has been featured in publications such as Forbes, Inc., Fast Company and Parents Magazine.
Courses for Communicators programs have been developed and tested by teams of professional communicators before they are officially launched.
