Hi. I'm Amy Pearl.
Hi. I'm Amy Pearl and I've dedicated my life to helping leaders like you overcome tough challenges at work, ignite their passion and achieve their goals. I'd love to help you, too!
I created everything in Lead Ignited 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.
I invite you to join Lead Ignited. Every tip you'll learn has been tested by my clients. So, I know they'll work for you, too!
Here are All the Details
Through Lead Ignited, leaders meet for two hours, virtually, every two-weeks to focus on today's most important leadership topics. Prior to each session, they'll spend about 30 minutes preparing for the session using our online learning platform and a downloadable Power Pages workbook. After each live session, they'll have an implementation week to try new things
and to get some quick wins.

We'll begin by meeting with you and your supervisor. We'll discuss the program details and establish your objectives. This way, we can customize the program to achieve your goals.

Here are the answers to some questions you might have...
How many leaders can participate at one time?
The diversity of the group is one of the most interesting parts. Leaders get the chance to build relationships with people they don't ordinarily work with. That being said, we want the group to be small enough so that each person gets the individualized attention they deserve. Plus, a small group puts some pressure on each participant to engage fully and be accountable for the transformation they desire. The ideal group size is 8-12 leaders.
Who is the ideal participant for Lead Ignited?
The ideal participant is a high potential mid-level or senior leader who needs to refine their leadership habits or prepare for the next level in their career. New and emerging leaders would likely benefit from our Launch Into Leadership program.
How do I know Lead Ignited will address each leader's issues?
Our goal is to achieve your goals. So, we begin by meeting with the leader and their supervisor to understand their objectives. Then, on the first day, we’ll work with the group to develop an agenda that addresses everyone’s top priorities. We’ll use one-on-one coaching sessions to address your unique needs and to make sure each leader is applying new skills.
How are the classes structured?
Every other week, usually from 8:30 - 10:30 Eastern Time, we hold a virtual session for a total of four months. In advance of each session, leaders complete about 30 minutes of prework. Throughout our time together, they’ll participate in various assessments, case studies, problem solving challenges, creative thinking, book reviews, and a lot of group discussion to share ideas and feedback. Even though they’ll be busy, our approach is very informal and engaging. It’s a great way to help leaders invest in themselves and re-energize for the future!
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 participation is typically $2,000 per leader with a minimum of eight participants.
What if I miss a session?
Most likely, you won't want to. Previous participants have told us that this is the best part of their week. But, we understand that you might have to miss a session, especially if you're on vacation. All sessions are recorded and housed on our private course site. You can watch (or re-watch) them any time.
Do you ever offer this as a public program?
Sometimes we do. If you have just a few leaders who might be interested, let us know. We keep a waiting list and schedule a public program once we have eight participants.
Let us design a program that will ignite your leaders!
The best time to ignite your leadership skills is today.
I know you're leaders are busy and perhaps feeling overwhelmed or worried about taking something like this on. There's no doubt the world is quickly changing - hybrid workforces, artificial intelligence, and today's economy are creating a lot of uncertainty and challenges. I hear you, friend, and I'm here for you.
I truly believe that there's never been a better (or more important) time to double down on building leadership skills. Today's workforce is looking for a sense of purpose, social connections, and to feel valued for the difference they make. That takes a new set of skills that leaders might not have needed in the past. Not only will Lead Ignited give leaders those skills, it will give them the discipline to put them in place as small, daily habits. So, they are easy!
I don't want you to look back in 6 or even 12 months with those same problems sitting on your desk, wondering what could have been if you only took action.
I want your leaders to feel proud of what they accomplish and confident in what thet can achieve. Plus, I want them to have a whole bunch of new friends that share their passion for leadership and will cheer them on!

Why I Love Product Showcases
I’m a sucker for “free.” My husband thinks I’m a hoarder because I stock up on buy-one-get-one groceries and, yes, I’m that person who spends money on things I don’t need, just to get to that “free gift” level.
Dr. Paul Zak, professor of Neuroeconomics at Claremont Graduate University studied how even a small discount impacts people’s happiness, health, and stress. He discovered that even people who receive a $10 coupon experience a 38% rise in oxytocin levels and are 11% happier than those who do not receive a coupon. Furthermore, their heart rates decreased by 5% and respiration rates decreased by 32%.
People find sheer joy in getting a bargain. It creates emotional and physical stimulation that leaves them more relaxed, less stressed, and ready to buy. That’s why product showcases are a great way to engage your prospects and clients in ways that they will be inspired to buy from you.
A product showcase is a virtual or in-person event that gives your prospects and clients the opportunity to experience something for free. I’ve showcased assessments that I sell for hiring and development, employee surveys, course modules, and coaching models. Once they experience it, they immediately can identify teams in their organizations that need to experience it as well.
I even invite existing clients to my showcases as an educational bonus for them and to expand the relationship they have with me. Plus, it’s a bonus when they tell the prospects in the audience how much they enjoy working with me.
And, I always make my showcases fun…like a party. Who doesn’t want to come to a free party where they actually learn something?
To get started, identify:
Your showcase goal
The problem you can solve for your ideal purchaser
The framework(s) you'll share
The people you will invite
Your budget
Activities to engage your audience
Your follow-up sequence
The logistics
In my B2B Fabulous Course, I dive into product showcases as just one way to engage prospective clients in ways that inspire them to buy. I even include the exact presentation slides I use during the event. So, check it out.
In the meantime, identify what product you can showcase with your prospects and clients. Then, pick a date and make it happen!
