TKDANewsletter #38: Amy K Life Coaching

LIFE IS BUSY. And, yes, busy is good… BUT doesn’t it feel like there is just too much to do? That your “to-do” list goes on forever? Plus, with the economy still in flux, it seems like we have to do even more, but with less. I am always asking myself how I can do more. But my friend and rocking Executive and Leadership Coach, Amy K,(link to the tkdablog article here on her) takes a slightly different approach.
What inspired this idea?
A keen desire to leave my exciting, but exhausting high tech career back in 2002 and do something totally on purpose. I love momentum & growth and that is what coaching is about. It’s about getting someone’s soul in action. Part of it is touchy-feely with loads of self-reflection. But, there is also a practical, ‘what are you doing to DO?!’ part too. I love the mix and the results that come for my clients.
What is your favorite Amy K moment?
The moment a client really gets that they have their own answers and are capable of everything.
What inspires you, personally?
People who are serious about their growth & who constantly evolve.
How do you gain motivational ideas?
Listening to my clients – they are brilliant.
What is Amy K Coaching doing for the environment?
The best work I do for the environment is coaching my clients to reach THEIR full potential. For example, one of my clients is now a marine biologist saving the coral reefs. Another started a not-for-profit to help create a green world (http://reapcalgary.com/). Far more impact than my blue bin recycling.
What is the best thing about helping people?
The knowledge that I am doing exactly what I am wired to do – this is why I am on the planet.
Who can’t resist a Coaching Booster?  Not us. Not you. Click HERE to download. (http://amykcoaching.com/what_do_you_want.html)
What art / artists are on your wall?
A moody, sensual piece by Julie B. Montgomery (http://juliebmontgomery.com).
What product of technology could you not imagine living without?
The telephone. 80% of my clients are spread out across North America and a few further afield. I can coach anywhere via the phone.
Artist to recommend?
I’m in love with Liz Brady (http://lizbradyart.com)
What music is playing in your office?
Damien Rice. http://www.damienrice.com/music.php
Plans for the future?
To be vigilant in sustaining the work/life balance I have created. It is fabulous.
Amy K moments are great newsletters. Highly recommend signing up.
