About a better 40

I’ve spent the bulk of my career as a professional project manager, the go-to person for turning big ideas into reality. And while I love synthesizing complex information, building a great plan, and getting things done, I like helping others succeed even more.

Amber Simonsen presenting to a seated audience

That’s why I started A Better 40. The lessons I’ve learned consulting in tech, leading system-design change for government, and delivering game-changing products for one of the country’s favorite airlines are TOO good not to share.

Getting fantastic results requires a ton of hard work. But if all we do is work, we miss the moments and the people that make our lives full. I know you can thrive at work, deliver incredible results, and be home for dinner.
