About

Amy is a seasoned instructional designer and facilitator who has spent her career designing and delivering workshops on a wide variety of leadership topics, such as finding your purpose, taking charge of your career, and fostering teamwork. Recently, she developed and delivered the Intrepid Accelerated Purpose Experience - a workshop that leverages the unique functionality of Zoom and other virtual tools to help people identify their purpose and how it links to the organization’s purpose. Amy’s client list includes GSK, KPMG, BP, Devon Energy, Thermo Fisher, Herrmann International, Safeway Foods, Nationwide Insurance, Wholebeing Institute, and The Authentic Leadership Institute. She was the Director of Product Development for Zenger Miller, an award- winning international training company for 11 years. In that role she led a team of talented people through all phases of product development—research, design, development, pilot testing, video production, and launch. Amy started her career as a career coach and her purpose is to help people play to their strengths and fulfill their purpose no matter what role they are in. As a result, the workshops she develops provide people with the confidence they need to stretch outside of their comfort zone and venture forward to try new things.
