Hi. I'm Amy Pearl.
Thank you for exploring our supervisory training options.
I've dedicated my life to helping leaders build the skills and behaviors to create high performing teams and motivating workplaces. I'd love to help your team, too!
I created the frameworks in Launch Into Leadership over 3 decades, first, as a corporate gal working for a big bank and then, by coaching hundreds of professionals, from CEO's of multi-billion dollar companies to high potentials just starting out. I've gained a reputation as a no-nonsense yet fun-loving coach who asks thought-provoking questions and delivers actionable ideas.
Whether you have one supervisor or fifty, let's help them get started or boost their skills today!

Here are the answers to some questions you might have...
How many supervisors can participate at one time?
You can include as many supervisors as you'd like, since our sessions are virtual. We use lots of breakouts rooms and other ways to engage your learners, so large groups are fine with us.
If you have just one supervisor, choose the One-on-One Learning program for one participant above.
If you have 2 or 3 participants, we can create a hybrid option. Schedule a call with Amy to talk about your needs.
Who is the ideal participant for Launch Into Leadership?
The ideal participant is a new or emerging supervisor who wants to build self-awareness, communication skills, performance management techniques, and other basic frameworks for success. More experienced, mid-level or senior leaders who need to refine their leadership habits or prepare for the next level in their careers would likely benefit from our more extensive one-on-one coaching engagements or our Lead Ignited program.
How do I know the frameworks taught in Launch Into Leadership will stick?
Our goal is to achieve your goals. So, we begin by meeting with you to understand your objectives. We encourage participants to meet with their supervisors following our sessions to share what they've learned and identify ways to implement their new frameworks on the job. Participants' managers receive a Manager's Toolkit outlining each session and providing coaching questions to build accountability and sustainability of the participants' new skills.
How are the sessions structured?
For our one-on-one participants, we typically schedule our sessions every 2-3 weeks. In between, they complete our online learning modules. This ensures they can manage the learning load, build new skills, and get personalized attention to address their unique needs.
For our group program, we typically schedule the one-hour learning sessions every two weeks spanning a four month period. This gives the participants time to practice their new skills in between. To expedite the program, we can double-up on topics by offering two hour sessions. We'll work to meet your scheduling needs.
What is the cost?
At Work Ignited, we recognize that the fee for our services is your investment in anticipation of higher levels of performance and ultimately, greater financial return. So we strive to offer our high quality service at a fair value.
The fee for the one-on-one learning option is $1,497 including coaching time, access to the online learning modules for one year, and the Everything DiSC Profile.
Group programs are priced based on the number of participants and the structure of the sessions. Schedule a call with Amy to talk about options.
Let's launch your leaders to success!
The best time to help your leaders succeed is today.
So many new and emerging leaders started working in the work-from-home/hybrid workplace era. As a result, they haven't had the exposure to high performing leaders or the time to dedicate to building their own supervisory skills. Now, they are scrambling (or relying on you) to manage day-to-day tasks, build accountability, and grow their teams.
I truly believe that there's never been a better (or more important) time to double down on building supervisory skills. Today's workforce is looking for supervisors who are fair, firm, and friendly. Your super-doers can be turned into super-supervisors in just a short time. They just need proven frameworks and an intentional learning process to build the habits that will lead to their success.
I want your supervisors to feel proud of what they accomplish and confident in what thet can achieve.
Let's chat to get Launch Into Leadership scheduled for your supervisors.

Work Smarter Not Harder with ChatGPT
I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to work smarter, not harder. So of course, I was intrigued when ChatGPT emerged full of promises to make life easier. But, my skepticism and strong moral compass made me wonder if this was really the right thing to do.
Would ChatGPT give me accurate information? I'm not even sure if what I see on the internet is real!
Would ChatGPT produce content that sounds like a robot created it? Afterall, a robot did create it!
Would ChatGPT leave me feeling like my years of experience and wisdom are no longer necessary? The way people talk about AI, you'd think every job on the planet is going to be eliminated!
Well, I pushed my skepticism aside and tried it. Today, I'm here to confess that my skepticism was unnecessary and my goal to use ChatGPT to work smarter is well underway. In fact, ChatGPT has become my right-hand-man (if only he looked like a young Brad Pitt).
In this blog post, I'm going to tell you why I love ChatGPT and how I use it. Plus, I'll share 20 prompts you can use as a Coach or Course Creator to work smarter, not harder.
Why I Love ChatGPT
I hate wasting time, but it is sooooo easy for me to do so. Every time I hop online, I get distracted by emails, Facebook, Pinterest recipes, J Jill ads, or whatever pops up. I used to spend a lot of time online doing research and gathering ideas to support my client engagements. ChatGPT expedites that process without the distractions of the internet. Time I wasted searching online is now better spent in my garden or on my motorcycle!
How I Use ChatGPT
I have to start by sharing something I've learned in the three decades that I've spent working with corporate and not-for-profit organizations. There are three different kinds of people in the world:
Idea Generators who can take a blank sheet of paper and turn it into something creative, a new business idea, or an innovative solution to a problem. The ideas just pour from their heads.
Idea Advancers who, if given a blank sheet of paper, steal an idea from the Idea Generators and then figure out how to make it work. They take the idea to the next level and determine just how to bring it to life in their own world.
Idea Implementors who, when given a blank sheet of paper, just hand it back and ask you to tell them exactly what you want done. They love to execute and implement, not create.
I'm an Idea Advancer. I just need someone to get me started and I can take an idea and run with it. That "someone" for me is my new friend, ChatGPT.
I use ChatGPT to get me started, give me ideas, and create samples and scenarios for me. Then, I edit and add my own flair to make those ideas my own.
Here are some prompts I've been using to work smarter not harder!

I'm Still Cautious
Earlier I mentioned that I pushed my skepticism aside, but that isn't entirely true. I'll always be cautious. In fact, I never take any information I find online at face value. When you use ChatGPT, you should always verify the information.
I'm also not a big fan of just taking words off an internet site and claiming them as my own. So, I use ChatGPT to give me a jump start. Then, I add my own frameworks, stories, experiences, and ideas to create the best solution for my clients that truly reflects my beliefs.
If you haven't tried ChatGTP yet or if you've just dabbled, hop on and give it a play. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what it reveals and how it helps you work smarter!
