Hi, I'm Amy.

Speaker. Author. Communication Nerd. Coffee enthusiast.

I've spent two decades studying what makes people connect - and what gets in the way.

I help teams and leaders communicate in ways that actually move business forward.

Not the fluffy "just be confident" advice. Real frameworks. Grounded in psychology. Practical enough to use in your next conversation.

I spent years in corporate sales watching brilliant people lose deals they should have won - not because they didn't know their stuff, but because no one taught them the how. The micro-moments that build trust. The presence that commands a room. What to do when everything goes sideways.

So I built something to fix that.

What I Do

Speaking

Presentations that give your team tools they'll actually use. Not motivation that fades by Monday - methods they'll reference months later.

Consulting

Strategic advisory for C-suite leaders who recognize communication challenges run deeper than training can solve.

Writing

My new book Connect to Close releases early 2026. It's the framework I teach executives and teams, now available to everyone.

The Work

We're all human doing business. Somewhere along the way, it’s easy to forget that.

We move so fast. We hide behind slides, data, and jargon. We forget that every deal, every negotiation, every difficult conversation is just two humans trying to understand each other.

86% of workplace failures trace back to poor communication. I teach people how to show up differently - how to build trust quickly, navigate awkward conversations, and turn presence into something you can actually practice.

The method is called BREW. Corporate-tested, simple enough to remember when the pressure's on.

A Bit More About Me

Psychology background. Trained in reading nonverbal cues. Nearly two decades in corporate sales before founding Sales & Presence.

I also have pets who think they run my life (they're right), a 26-year vegetarian streak, and a borderline concerning coffee habit. Born with congenital heart disease - three open-heart surgeries, the first two before I could walk. Turns out a big heart can get you pretty far.

If you've made it this far, we should probably talk.
