“Amy’s strengths are her enthusiasm for the art and science of coaching; having a wealth of resources that she can bring to the picture as job aids; reflecting back what is being shared, but doing it in a way that expands my own interpretation of things and offering up alternative scenarios — helping me to figure out how to get to those alternative scenarios.”
