Amanda Dreher, JD

CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER

Years ago, when Amanda first met Liz, they began dreaming of what would one day be MLT. Amanda was fueled by a passion to see organizations appreciate and tap into the incredible potential of their unique individuals.

Since then Amanda has been the creative mind behind MLT’s resources. Her approach to audio, visual, written and live communication is to provide entertaining and informative content that leaves the audience feeling compelled to change. Amanda’s belief that you should laugh, learn and leave changed has given her an edge when it comes to content creation, production and delivery. And, has made her a successful trainer, author of numerous articles and co-host of MLT’s radio show and podcast, M.A.D. (Mentoring Across Differences).

When she’s not at work with MLT, Amanda is passionate about her volunteer work with organizations that empower women, children and families to step more fully into their purpose and potential. Otherwise you can find her in the great outdoors with her husband and two young daughters or making a mess in some new creative project or activity.

Marsha Taraba

SALES LEADER

Years ago when Marsha and Liz worked together in sales, they couldn’t have imagined that they would one day work together to transform corporate cultures. Today Marsha brings to MLT a passion for helping leaders who recognize a need for mentoring but have no idea how to do it, by equipping them with the tools they need to see long-term transformation.

Marsha is a true leader and sets an example for all of us in her selfless, humble attitude and her high standards for ethics and hard work. She challenges us all to continue to raise the bar. Additionally, Marsha has a unique way of seeing and making connections between people which has given her an ability to bridge gaps between gender, generational and global differences. As a result, Marsha brings great perspective and guidance to MLT’s client facing strategies.

Outside of MLT, Marsha jumps at the chance to spend time in the garden and in the majestic mountains of Colorado. Some of Marsha’s favorite time is that spent with her husband, family and grandchildren.
