Bio
Phil Jinglun Guo
I was impressed by Amy's performance when studying with her among a group of entrepreneurs and executives with different cultural backgrounds. She stand out by her integrity to fulfill commitments and capability of listening to others' concerns and assessments. She was bold - as she was committed to improve - to give honest feedback in time, and open-minded to embrace new ideas and insights. I witnessed her rapid progress in practicing leadership skills over the months, and enjoyed studying with her how to be more effective working in a small team.

"Amy is an exceptional coach, who brings an authentic presence and a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and integrity to her work. Her style is compassionate and supportive – but complemented by her way of challenging you in just the right way and at just the right moment to keep you moving forward. Amy's approach is extremely valuable as it helps you learn effectively and deeply in different ways and build on-ongoing practices to support your professional - and personal - growth and development. I highly recommend Amy as an executive coach who has real impact, while being a true pleasure to work with".
