OUR STORY
Mighty Forces used to be all about amplifying women. Then our founder, Amanda Hirsch, had a change of heart…

Amanda Hirsch
CEO & FOUNDER
Amanda is passionate about inspiring people to believe in the power of their authentic voice. A writer and long-time entrepreneur, she was voted a SXSW audience favorite and has spoken everywhere from Etsy to Harvard’s Kennedy School on topics such as telling your story online, the positive power of social media, and applying the concepts of improv comedy to life and work.
If you're a deep thinker and feeler who feels called to ease other people's suffering, and who loves a good belly laugh, then you are her people, and she would love to connect with you.
Amanda is also: a mother, a Taurus, and a BIG fan of being in bed by 9. -
Christine Taylor
STORYCRAFTER
Christine is a storytelling consultant, diversity specialist, and writer who’s passionate about helping people find and tell their stories. She loves listening to stories, digging for stories, and finding stories where you think there may not be one. Deeply knowledgable and experienced with story structure, she has partnered with academics and women in transition to bring to life stories that help their work reach new audiences. Christine is the kind of person who goes out to run an errand and comes back knowing the life stories of several people she met along the way. She is also an immigrant, a mother, and voracious reader.

Lisa Gates
CAREER STORY SLEUTH
Lisa is a leadership coach and career story sleuth who has spent her career dedicated to raising women up. Her superpower is mining your experience to find the words and stories that express your value and promise and strategically deploying them so you are seen, heard, promoted — and paid.
In addition to being an actress, improviser, and storyteller, she is also a negotiation expert (assuring you won’t end up in the compensation backlot). She has authored several courses for LinkedIn Learning, and like Amanda, is a Taurus.

Anti-racism, anti-hate statement
Mighty Forces is anti-racist and anti-hate. We stand in solidarity with people who are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodiverse, and from all countries of origin…who follow any religion, or no religion…and who identify as any combination or intersection of these identities. We work actively to create and support a more diverse, inclusive, equitable, and representative world within the media industry and beyond. We use our platform and network to amplify diverse voices and to call out hate, bigotry, bias, and harm when we see it.
This statement will continue to evolve as we learn and unlearn. If you identify with any of the groups listed above and feel uncomfortable with the language we are using, or feel there’s more we should be saying or doing; have stories or resources you’d like us to amplify through our platform and network; or want to explore ways we might work together, please reach out.
Thank you to editor Nevin Mays, whom Amanda met through the Women’s Media Group, for allowing us to crib heavily from a similar statement that she put on her website.
