Transforming mindsets and empowering others with the power of choice, giving others permission to create the change they are seeking, with confidence, and allowing fear to help them navigate their path. After Amy went through homelessness and became a college graduate/business owner 3 years later, she learned how opportunity and mindset is HOW you can change everything and anything. Always choosing how you want to live is how you create that path to get there. As a transformational mindset and business coach I teach entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders to create a life they love while taking action to become the success they want to be while being happy. Through mindfulness, meditation, choice, and designing a clear path, the clients I work with find inspiration, motivation, navigate imposter syndrome, and move through their fears to start taking action on what their goals are. I fell in love with helping clients see what their potential is, and how they can live in joy while being successful in their career by changing my entire life myself, and seeing my clients start to fully embrace how powerful they really are. By intertwining the mindset with business coaching, clients end up creating a success they never saw themselves creating before. If they are seasoned they see how to scale or grow to create the profit they have always desired while living a life that is full of happiness, joy, love, and sustainability. Changing how people are living life by changing the way life is being lived is my main passion. The best way to accomplish this I feel is through interpersonal connection and being in other people’s amazing energy. I feel public speaking is the best way to truly reach an audience at their heart and to serve them in a way that allows them to make big moves. Not only do I love doing this through public speaking I also host retreats, and events to create a memorable experience to my clients and audience that is life changing. Through being certified as a mindfulness coach, a college graduate in Communications, I learned to intertwine leadership skills into mindset skills to help others shift the way they see themselves, how they can lead their own life, and to create healthy mindset patterns that they can take action on, on a daily basis. They create intentional purpose, action, inspiration, and results.
