Assistant to the Clients and Supplier Department

Deciding to quit my Job at Amazon to start my consulting business in 2019 changed my life forever.

Today, I help entrepreneurs go from being trapped in the day-to-day operations of their business to becoming the Business Owners they have always wanted to be:
- Free from the frustration of managing the day-to-day
- Fully dedicated to developing their vision

***

Here is how I got there:

Working at Amazon was fascinating. I learned priceless business lessons about how to operate a business efficiently. 

I played the game full-on and led a multi-million dollar program to great success, earning the highest corporate award for efficiency and speed of implementation.

In 2019, I was becoming the perfect Amazonian, a brutally efficient and hyper-rational thinking machine. But my soul was dying inside. I was barely saying hello to my colleague next to me.

I decided to switch sides and give my energy to carry the vision of entrepreneurs with a big heart.

I also went through a deep personal development journey to understand more about myself. I joined the Platinum Partnership Program with my mentor Tony Robbins and completed 16 Tony Robbins seminars over 15 months.

During this time, I learned that it's not what we get that makes us fulfilled but who we become in the process.

This belief is at the heart of everything I do:
To grow my client's businesses, I place a strong emphasis on the personal growth of their leaders.
Because most business problems stem from people-related issues.

Publications and Media Relations Manager

Is saying yes to everyone and everything except yourself giving you a healthy dose of frustration and burnout? Upset that being the go-to person at work isn't helping you get ahead? Bitter that you are helping others reach their goals, do their tasks, and get recognition while you feel taken advantage of and overlooked?

➡️WHAT I DO:

I help professional women go from feeling overwhelmed and stressed out to finding relief and next level success in their lives by saying Heck Yes to the things that light them up and No Way to what depletes them. 

With my 3E Methodology you can walk the path with ease as you follow my proven system. 

➡️WHY ME:

💥Certified High Performance Coach, High Performance Institute
💥Certified Elite Neuroencoding Specialist, The Neuroencoding Institute

I've been that person who took it all on. I thought saying Yes to everything would make me valued and appreciated. Being that Yes Gal isn't a sure fire way to that better title, corner office, or social acceptance. As a matter of fact, true leaders know how and when to say a solid No. 

Once I learned to master a "Heck Yes" to seize the opportunities that made sense and the "No Way" to maintain my sanity, I finally found balance in my life that allowed me to break through to my best self. 

➡️WHAT OTHERS SAY:

🌠"Amber really helped me to move forward on some things that were overwhelming me. She gave me some useful strategies for managing stress and a new way to frame things for myself. I like her approach of meeting you where you are rather than getting too bogged down in where you've been. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of some direction. - Jenny R.

🌠"Amber has helped guide me to focus on my goals and to clarify what is needed to achieve these goals. She is an excellent communicator who offers valuable feedback and ideas to help motivate her clients. I feel so inspired after meeting with her!" - Liz S. 

🌠"My session with Amber was beneficial in helping to set goals to achieve my better self. She offered different strategies and thought processes to push forward in meeting these goals!" - Minna T.

The High Performance Institute has independently measured over 50,000 High Performance Coaching sessions which have received an average client satisfaction rating was 9.6 out of 10 (the highest ever recorded of any multi-month coaching program.)

➡️HOW IT WORKS:
