She is also the co-author of Leading in Chaos, which explores how leaders can navigate complexity by developing greater coherence, awareness and connection.
In this conversation, Amy brings together powerful personal stories, insights from her work with thousands of leaders and perspectives from her own journey of healing and self-discovery.
Here's what I will learn...
- Moving from external validation to self-authorship: How to move beyond societal expectations and discover a deeper sense of purpose by understanding what truly matters to you.
- Understanding how your past shapes your present: How childhood experiences, family histories and deeply held beliefs influence our behaviours, relationships and leadership styles, often unconsciously.
- Going beyond behavioural change to unlock leadership potential: Why lasting transformation requires us to address underlying mindsets and fears, embrace vulnerability and tap into our multiple forms of intelligence.
- Leading with greater coherence and connection: How slowing down, aligning our actions with our values and creating space for deeper conversations can help us lead more meaningful lives and build stronger teams.
- Healing the past to unlock the future: Why making peace with our personal and collective histories can help us become more creative, compassionate and purposeful in our contributions.
