Amanda Langhorst didn’t just find her career. She built a career around helping others find theirs.

In this conversation, I talk with Amanda Langhorst, Program Director of the Applied Management program and Instructor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks College of Business and Security Management. 

We talk about the power of self-advocacy, why listening is the most underrated management skill, and how purpose and impact can transform both classrooms and workplaces. 

Amanda shares her perspective on what today’s students need to thrive, what managers can learn from career counseling, and why leadership doesn’t have to fit one mold.

Her insights are practical, encouraging, and deeply human—perfect for leaders who want to help their people grow.
