I came to Amy to better understand my work-related challenges because has a strong reputation of being a supportive champion of women; her empathy and sharp ability to uncover insights did not disappoint. Of many incredibly powerful epiphanies, she really helped me understand and reach towards my “higher” and “bigger” self, a mindset I didn’t even realize I was missing. Not only did she lead me to understand my best skill-sets and how to best leverage them, she helped me believe in them down to my core–a mind-shift that will keep me strong in any adversity. Immediately after coaching, I was ready and excited to take action. Amy is great for anyone who needs a bigger perspective on their current situation and wants to navigate from a place of empowerment.”
