experience My unique message
With over two decades of experience as a coach, speaker, and facilitator, my keynotes and programs blend inspiration, practical tools, and the latest research to motivate women to rise and lead.
Early in my career as a coach, I noticed a troubling pattern; women are being hijacked by their self-doubt. Women underestimate themselves, suffer from imposter syndrome, compare themselves to others and are chronically hard on themselves, regardless of the level of success they've achieved. I've made it my mission to create compelling keynotes, programs, and books to address the "self-bullying" epidemic women face.

Leadership coaching
With over 23 years of coaching experience, speaking and workshop leading, I've worked with a variety of clients from C-level executives to rising leaders to emerging stars. My experience also includes creating and developing curriculum for leaders to increase truth telling, authenticity and release imposter syndrome, self-criticism and self-sabotage.

"I have absolutely loved my experience with Amy and found her coaching to be transformative in my career. Early on, she helped to address some imposter syndrome and issues I was facing navigating being a new manager in a complex organization at Google. She helped me identify my values and how to 'live' them authentically with my team, which really transformed my relationship both with my direct reports and my upwards management chain. She helped me navigate a new career transition and also how my work/life was playing into how I was showing up at work, and feeling in control of my career (eg. taking away the FOMO). I can't say enough about how valuable Amy's coaching has been to my growth and I highly recommend her. "

I can't say enough about how valuable Amy's coaching has been to my growth and I highly recommend her.
"Amy Blew Me Away! She is incredibly gifted in her ability to coach her clients, not only asking the right, probing questions, but also making space for them to gain access to their own truth. I highly recommend working with Amy in any capacity. After spending time with Amy, you will no doubt walk away with new insights that can drive major change in your life."

“I was someone who tolerated dysfunctional living situations, less than desirable wages, and romantic isolation. I felt like a victim much of the time. I stayed stuck.”
“I take time each day to check in with my inner wisdom about what she has to say. This work gave me my life back. I live with more passion, joy, grace, and creativity.”

"I'm inherently skeptical about coaching, but Amy was quickly able to meet me where I had critical issues and provide actionable tools to improve my Executive Management skills. She is able to bridge the emotional and intellectual challenges in the modern workplace while adapting her various tools for what is needed. I worked with Amy for several months, taking her guidance to heart, and implementing changes quickly. Through her guidance I was able to resolve some key management issues with employees not in my direct report line, as well as complex staffing issues within my own area. Additionally, she helped me take action to make some specific changes in how I function within an executive hierarchy. This led directly to better public recognition and tangible financial benefits. I can't promise that Amy will make you look better and get rich, but if that's what you want she can point you in the right direction."

"When I came to coaching, I felt lost in my career...and in my life. I was waking up in the mornings wondering if I would ever find a way to shine again...
