Lana Kinberg
Confidence Coach, Speaker. Facilitator. Founder of the Confidence Collective: A Las Vegas based community for women and men in sales within male dominated industries who are ready to show up, stand out, and be seen both personally and professionally.
Lana has spent her career leading high performing sales teams and construction companies towards navigating big goals, tough markets, and even tougher competition. Along the way, she learned that the gap has never been a lack skill. It was almost always a lack of confidence, visibility, and the willingness to take up space in rooms that weren’t built with women in mind.
Lana’s experience and grace grant her the power to lead from the front of the room, while pulling from the collective energy from every person in the room.

“Amanda, I can’t thank you enough for pushing and guiding me the way you have over the past few months. I’ve reached milestones I didn’t think I was going to hit this soon and am grateful for the coaching and confidence nudge you gave me back in June. The results from your coaching are clear and sustainable. I really appreciate the kick in the a$$.”

“…I always go back to the words you shared with me on our calls, because you have been so right, and so aware every single time. Since I started working with you my confidence has shot through the roof and my business is taking off. Making the plan to organize not only my business, but my time and my life outside the business was one of the biggest things I think I didn’t realize I needed to do. Thank you. I couldn’t do this without you.”
~ KERI SMITH Interior Design Professional and owner of Studio KSH, Danvers MA
