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.
Kickoff
Meeting
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.

Manage your priorities, not your time. We'll help you discover how to create a Collaborative Workplace and refine your priorities to focus on the workplace you desire for your team and yourself.

One-on-One Coaching
360 Degree Feedback

Then, we'll review your results in a one-on-one meeting to develop personalized strategies for your success.
Session 4: Your
Strategic Playbook

One-on-One
Coaching
We'll reflect on all you've learned and the daily habits you've put in place to be a strong leader. Then, based on your career and personal goals, we'll ensure you have a plan to sustain the changes you've put in place and the tools and frameworks 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!

Pricing Your Digital Course and Coaching Services
I'm not sure where you live, but every year here in Buffalo, New York we have an "Auto Show." In essence, you can wander around our convention center looking at hundreds of cars without the pressures of a dealership showroom. The cars are organized by brand - Mercedes in one corner, Chevy in another, Honda in another, and so on.
I love that I can sit in cars that cost well over $100,000 - cars I would never buy, because I have other priorities for my money. You, on the other hand, might have that luxury car right in your own garage. The last time we went to the show, my kids were shopping for cars. I sat in sports cars with my adventure-seeking son and starter SUV's with my practical daughter. You see, everyone has their own preferences and their own philosophies when it comes to purchasing and driving cars. That's why every car manufacturer and quite frankly, your business needs to have an intentional pricing strategy.
One of the most common questions I get from coaches and course creators is: How do I set my pricing? I get it. You don't want to sell yourself short, but you also don't want to price so high that you lose business. Honestly, you can drive yourself crazy thinking about this, unless you have a solid pricing strategy.
Your pricing strategy defines the optimal price point for your product - one that your ideal client is willing to pay and one that makes you feel that you are earning what you are worth.
Your pricing strategy is made up of three parts:
1. Your Personal Pricing Philosophy
2. Your Pricing Structure
3. Your Product Prices
In this post, we're focusing on #1. Your Personal Pricing Philosophy because this is the starting point. Remember, your strategy is designed to make you feel that you are earning what you are worth. I know how hard you work. You've put a lot of time into building your course or coaching program. You invest lots of time promoting your services. You put your heart and soul into delivering for your clients. If at the end of the day, you don't feel like you've been paid fairly, you will end up feeling bitter about your work, your clients, and your business. Knowing Your Personal Pricing Philosophy helps you feel at peace with the prices you set.
Grab your tablet or notebook because we are going to write Your Personal Pricing Philosophy. This statement will guide the decisions you make in the future about pricing. So, really put some thought into this.
Your Personal Pricing Philosophy statement describes how you want to be perceived by your clients when it comes to pricing. Are you the starter SUV (practical, affordable, dependable) or are you the sumptuous sports car (luxury, pricey, high end)?
It is a reflection of your personal values, your business brand, and what is truly important to you.
Are you more altruistic by nature, prioritizing serving others or are you motivated by high earnings?
Are you more of a minimalist or someone who wants to live a luxury lifestyle?
Do you have a strong desire to give back to your community or is your priority right now to provide for your family.
Perhaps you are toward the latter part of your career, already have a nice nest egg saved up, and don't need high earnings right now. Or, you have six kids that you want to send to college so you need to earn a lot of money.
If you consider each of those dichotomies, where do you fall on those spectrums? Are you more toward the altruistic, minimalist ends seeking to serve others and not needing a lot of money? Or are you more toward the luxury lifestyle, seeking to focus on high earnings? Perhaps you're somewhere in between.
There's no judgement here. This is YOUR Personal Pricing Philosophy.
For me, my philosophy has always been:
To build long-term client relationships rather than one-and-done deals. I never want to be known as the million dollar consultant that burns through clients' cash in one engagement.
To have the freedom and financial ability for my family to learn and have fun. We've travelled and have nice things, but I already said driving that luxury car isn't for me.
To feel like I'm treating my clients fairly while being fair to myself. My prices generally fall in the average range - I'm not the cheapest trainer in town nor am I the most expensive.
To make sure my clients get a little bit more than I proposed as part of the original deal. That solidifies my relationship for the long-term.
These statements guide me to create a Pricing Structure and to set Product Prices that my clients embrace and allow me to sleep at night. My clients know that I don't take advantage of them and hire me over and over again. I was able to pay cash for my children to attend private high schools and colleges. We've enjoyed lots of vacations and other benefits. And, I know the value my clients receive aligns with what they pay me.
I want you to have this same sense of satisfaction and peace with every price you propose to your clients.
In future blog posts, I'll cover Your Pricing Structure, as well as how to set Your Product Prices. If you don't want to wait for those posts, check out my B2B Fabulous course. I take a deep dive into pricing, proposals, and procurement processes. I also share my secrets for connecting with decision makers, engaging with them in a way that inspires them to buy, delivering your programs in the B2B space, and tools for growing your business.
In the meantime, drive the car and set your pricing in a way that reflects what's important to you!
