Informal Brief Bio*
*unnecessary to the trade, but so much more fun to read!
When Iâm not helping Leaders improve their confidence, honor their worth, and become the best version of themselves in their professional & personal lives... Â
... you can find me at home in San Diego, with my favorite human Scott and our bulldog, Moose, usually spending the weekend hiking, spotting dolphins or in search of a tasty taco.

AÂ few more fun facts about me ;)
- Super cool Aunt to three nieces and a nephew. All four are my favorite.
- Make a mean ginger soufflé with bourbon whip cream of course.
- Lived overseas for almost five years (Shanghai and London). No, I do not speak the Kingâs English, but I can tell you I donât speak Mandarin, in Shanghai-ese.
- Hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim, three times.
- Broke my nose boogie-boarding the Bonzai pipeline off the North Shore of Oahu.
- Prefer a fun dinner party over just about any social event.
- Believe that most personal conversations are vastly improved with a hot drink in hand.Â
- Believe in a Higher Power ⊠and her brilliance.
I believe in YOU.
And no, itâs not schmaltzy. Itâs my truth. I care. Youâll see.
âWhen I first met AmyK, I thought, (if I can coin a phrase),
âWow, she gets it!â
Her leadership style wasnât just theoretical. It wasnât just well presented because sheâs an amazing presenter and educator. But, it was usableâit was a combination of hereâs kind of how the brain works and hereâs how people get together ⊠but then also, here are tools you can use that immediately you can go back to your organization or your personal life and you can start putting these things into play.â

âI laugh that thereâs no problem I have that AmyK doesnât know the answer to off the top of her head.
Iâm just in awe of herâIâve learned so much through her coaching. In my work, I have to do a lot of negotiating and positioning not just with sales customers, but then back to our corporate office and the styles are totally different. Because of AmyK, Iâm a better positioner and negotiator.âÂ
