Designing & building careers & teams for happier 9-5s
Mondays are enjoyable when you love your work. Let’s create the right environment for your success together.
It’s Sunday night…
and the Sunday Scaries set in.
When you or your team are struggling, it’s hard to go to work. These “Monday blues” are closely tied to lack of engagement at work, high turnover, and more. All of these things are incredibly costly - they cost us time, energy, money, our motivation, and - most importantly - they negatively impact people who are the heartbeat of organizations. But there’s a better way to experience work. It all comes down to designing and building your career, team, and team culture to be effective, then investing in the health of the team always in all ways. The best part? This is figure-out-able AND when the Sunday Scaries are gone, that’s when we make a big impact and see the results we most want in our careers, teams, and lives. Let’s connect - we can show you the way!
“Amanda is transparent, efficient, and spot-on. Amanda was able to get to the heart of the challenges I was facing and knew how to handle sticky situations diplomatically. Every part of the process was important, enjoyable, and do-able. She’s a real pro.”
— Amy Lazarus, Responsible Innovation Manager, Meta

Let’s Connect
Land Acknowledgement
A Better Monday is based in Denver, Colorado which rests on the ancestral homelands of Arapaho, Ute, and Cheyenne nations - sites of gathering, community, hunting, and healing. We acknowledge painful history of erasure and genocide in this space. We offer our gratitude, recognition, and respect to the Indigenous people as the original stewards of the land, water, plants, and animals who call this place home - those who have come before us and those who are living, working and thriving today.
We also know that offering a land acknowledgment is merely a gesture without informed action and accountability. As of October 2022, A Better Monday pays into the East Colfax Neighborhood Associate Reparations Fund. All funds are send to tribal leaders annually.
