(2:19)</strong></p> <ul> <li>Amanda instantly fell in love with the Student Maid culture. It is a cleaning company but they provide so much more for their students. They are building the next generation of leaders. </li> <li>Amanda started off answering phone calls and kept growing the company before becoming head of operations. She was living in Florida at the time and she was running day to day operations. They are all about each person being their own wheelhouse. They believe in not just doing what you love, but also doing what you are great at.</li> <li>One of Amanda’s wheelhouse categories is teaching or coaching and developing skills. At Student Maid, they have a lot of workshops and different things you can learn. Amanda states that she needs to be teaching to feel happy and fulfilled. </li> <li>Amanda is not from Florida but leaving the company was not an option when they moved. Amanda’s boss did not want to lose Amanda just as much as Amanda did not want to leave the company and so they figured out how to make it work and that was how they came up with their ambassador program. </li> <li>They have students running an entire company. That was how their program bloomed. Amanda manages students who learn how to run a company, they run in terms and graduate with a great resumé. Students can say that they worked in a business and that they have experience.</li>
