About Work Ignited:
Assessments and Development
to Build Strong Leaders and Collaborative Teams
Here's the Truth:
Work shouldn't feel like a grind. It should make you feel ignited!
Hi There. I'm Amy Pearl.
At Work Ignited, we help HR, L&D and business leaders to build stronger leaders, healthier teams, and workplace cultures people love.
Coming from the corporate world, I experienced first-hand the challenges of building high performing teams, navigating organizational politics, balancing competing priorities, managing change and uncertainty, and developing people while driving results...all while trying to feel good about your life. I saw many leaders struggle, not because they weren't capable but because they lacked the insight, frameworks, and support to feel effective.
That's why, for more than 25 years, I've partnered with organizations of every size, from global Fortune 50 companies to small businesses to not-for-profits, to make leadership assessment and development practical, personalized, and powerfully effective. Now, we serve hundreds of organizations annually implement science-based assessments and impactful development solutions to spark transformation from the inside out.
If you're looking to ignite your passion, ignite your team, and ignite your workplace...
You've come to the right place!

DiSC Profile: Conscientious/Dominant
Hi! I love creating strategic solutions and simple tools to help people ignite their passions, their teams, and their workplaces. I've spent the last 3 decades helping companies achieve their goals, first as a corporate gal at M&T Bank and then, serving people like you. Now, I spend my time coaching Human Resources, L&D, and business leaders to love their jobs. I'm a no-nonsense yet fun-loving coach and facilitator who loves to hiking the highest mountains and playing golf out of the deepest sand traps. I'd love to help you achieve your goals!

I've had experience working in all kinds of places including an animal hospital and brewery in Buffalo, a private high school in New York City, Sugarbush Resort in Vermont, and Denali Park Resorts in Alaska. I can't wait to get to know more about your organization.
