About Amy

I have spent the last 20 years speaking about human performance @ work. I’m an author, facilitator, and business leader who uses my understanding of applied neuroscience to uncover better ways of working. Based in Silicon Valley, I’ve facilitated and worked with Fortune 500 companies around the globe. 

To me, it’s really about understanding and translating science into practical habits. Working with other humans can be challenging, and neuroscience can help us better understand how we work and how others work. My goal is to share what I’ve learned in a practical, approachable, and entertaining way.

I have consolidated years of lessons into my book, Wild Success, co-authored with Kevin Vallely, and these stories can help all of us drive our own performance in work and life.

Frequently asked questions

What is your pricing?

It depends on a few factors. How we collaborate (Keynote, virtual, or workshop), the size of the audience, the length of time we work together, how customized you need the program. Having an idea of all of these before we connect can help me price my services quickly for you.

Who else have you worked with?

Check out my client list. I’ve spoken with top companies and worked with startups as well as all sizes in between. I have a lot of experience working with technical audiences. I can put you in touch with prior clients as referrals if you’d like more info.

Can I get copies of your book for my audience?

Yes! We can ship Wild Success: 7 Key Lessons Business Leaders Can Learn from Extreme Adventurers to them directly to the participant or if you’re in person, we can have the books sent to a venue for an in-person event. You will get a bulk order discount!

What makes your Keynotes, Virtual Sessions, and Workshops different?

I understand the neuroscience behind engagement and attention and use that science in how I’ve built my content. I use stories, interesting data, interactive conversations, and thoughtful ways to get people to think differently about leadership topics that are relevant, practical, and useful.
