Hi. I'm Amy Pearl.
Hi. I'm Amy Pearl and I've dedicated my life to helping leaders like you overcome tough challenges, ignite their passion and achieve their goals. I'd love to help you, too!
As your coach, my job is to listen, share insight and ideas, and push you toward your goals. I might ask hard questions at times, especially when I see more potential in you than you see in yourself. Ultimately, I want you to be much more in tune with your own ideas, thoughts, and confidence so you can solve problems on your own, long after our coaching process is over.
During the last 3 decades, I've helped 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 welcome the opportunity to help you achieve your goals!
How You and I Will Work Together
Following a Kickoff Meeting with your supervisor, we'll begin by meeting every 2 weeks for 1 hour. This way, you'll hit the ground running and make fast progress toward your goals, while giving you enough time between meetings to implement new approaches. You'll define your personal Success Path and the priorities that we'll work on during each meeting. After each session, you'll feel more prepared and confident to tackle the real-life situations you're facing, while building new habits to achieve your goals.
Over time, we'll stretch our coaching conversations out so we meet every 3-to-4 weeks. This way, I'll serve as your accountability partner and we'll ensure your new habits are sustainable for the long-term. We'll also include your supervisor in a mid-way Process Check Meeting, as well as a Wrap Up Meeting to celebrate your successes and ensure they are prepared to support you for the long-term.
Plus, you'll have your own personal Coaching Portal to keep notes, store your assessment results,
access dozens of my best frameworks, and stay focused on your goals!

Still have a few questions? Read below.
How do I know this will address my issues?
Our goal is to achieve your goals. So, I begin by meeting with you and your supervisor to understand your objectives and unique needs. After coaching countless leaders over the last 2+ decades, I've developed lots of strategies, frameworks, and tools to solve even the toughest challenges.
Of course, I don't know everything, especially when it comes to the nuances of your role or organization. But, if I don't have a trick in my magic bag, we'll figure it out together!
How are our coaching sessions structured?
Our meetings last about an hour.
Initially, we'll use the WorkPlace Big Five Profile so you can inventory your talents and I can get to know you in a language that I understand. Then, we'll initiate the 360 process to understand others' perceptions and to create a plan for the rest of our meetings.
At those subsequent sessions, we'll discuss your challenges and how best to conquer them. And, I'll help you implement simple habits to ensure your desired results are sustainable.
How long does the whole process take?
We'll meet 12 times, initially every other week and then, stretching our latter meetings out a bit to ensure you stay committed to your new behaviors for the long term. So, the entire process takes about 6-8 months.
Interested in moving faster? We can give it a shot. But I find that lasting change take time. Plus, I want you to have time between each session to try new things and make real progress!
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 our One-on-One Leadership Coaching Program is $8,500.
This includes all of our meeting time as well as all assessments, materials, and access to our online coaching portal.
How did Amy learn to be a coach?
I've been formally and personally trained to be a leadership coach by some of the world's leading coaches including Brendon Burchard and Patrick Lencioni. I've studied the impact of personalities and styles at work through numerous assessment certifications, and I'm a top tier award winner for the use of Wiley's Everything DiSC and associated tools. For over 20 years, I've worked with leaders from Caterpillar, Duracell, Wegmans, Barilla, Blue Cross Blue Shield, FeedMore, the United Way and countless organizations of every size and almost every industry.
But, nothing replaces the learning that comes from real world experience. I spent over a decade working for M&T Bank in sales, tech, and operations. I successfully led large teams and some of the most ambitious projects the bank pursued at the time. I now run a 7-figure business. I've had to hire, fire, motivate, inspire, block, tackle, and lead.
I know leadership and life isn't always easy, but I use my knowledge, experience, and tenacity to help you overcome the challenges, achieve your goals, and feel ignited by your work.

Do you offer a guarantee?
In 20+ years, I've never had a dissatisfied customer. I work hard to achieve your goals and I trust that you will do the same. I can't do the work for you, but if you're committed to your own professional and persona growth, so am I.
That being said, I appreciate there are some tricky situations.
Sometimes, paying the full fee up front is difficult. If you'd prefer a three-pay option, just email me at [email protected]. I can set up the payment system so you pay 1/3 up front, 1/3 after our Process Check Meeting with your supervisor, and find final 1/3 at the beginning of the Get Ignited phase.
Sometimes, organizations hire me to coach people because they have lots of potential. Other times, my coaching clients are struggling and this is a final attempt to help them improve. If you're an HR professional or executive trying to decide if coaching is right for one of your leaders, let's talk before you make this investment. Just email me at [email protected] and we'll connect!
The best time to ignite your leadership skills is today.
I know you're busy and perhaps feeling overwhelmed or worried about taking something like this on.
There's no doubt the world is quickly changing - hybrid workforces 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 your 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 you might not have needed in the past. Not only will Lead Ignited give you those skills, it will give you 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 you to feel proud of what you accomplished and confident in what you can achieve. There's no time to waste. Let's get started!

How I Create My Courses While Managing My Perfectionist Tendencies
Creating a course can seem like a monumental task and honestly, it can become a monumental task if you're a perfectionist like me. It's sooooo easy to make a course so complicated that your students get overwhelmed, have trouble implementing their new skills, or worse lose interest and quit. In today's blog post, I'm going to share the 7 P framework I follow when I build my courses and 3 things I do to avoid letting perfectionism stand in the way of progress!
7 P's to Build a Course
Whether I am going to deliver a course in-person, via Zoom, or in pure digital format, 7 factors guide my thinking and development (and conveniently, each factor begins with the letter P). As I develop my content, I seek to answer a variety of questions including those I've listed below.
Participants
Who is the course for?
What is their existing knowledge, experience, and motivation to learn?
Problem
What problem are the Participants having?
What impact is this having on their ability to do their jobs and to achieve their professional and personal goals?
Purpose
What goals will my course help the Participants and the business to achieve?
What benefits will my course help them to realize?
Platform
How will the course be delivered - in-person, via Zoom, online, hybrid?
How can I use Kajabi or another system to make it efficient and promote sustained learning?
Process
What frameworks will the Partcipants learn?
What activities will make the learning engaging and memorable?
Packaging
What materials will the Participants need during the course? (e.g., workbook, assessments, quick reference guides)
What materials will I need to effectively facilitate the program? (e.g., videos, posters, games)
Put Into Action
What guides or tools will the Participants need to implement their new skills or behaviors on the job?
What follow up will build accountability for change?
Once I answer those questions, I get to work. If I'm building a digital course, I follow a pretty specific sequence:
Write the scripts for what I will say in my videos
Create the workbook based on my scripts
Create the PowerPoint slides that I will use in my recordings
I follow this sequece so I know my scripts, workbook, and slides will all align. I often modify my scripts, as I'm developing my workbook and slides. Similarly, I might change earlier modules based on how things unfold in later modules. So, I never finalize my scripts, workbook, or PowerPoint slides until all modules are complete. Once I complete those steps, I:Produce all video content, audio content, and transcripts
Upload my content to Kajabi and create any associated email sequences
Develop any ancillary materials that I'll use as part of the program like assessments or faciltiation materials
If I'm facilitating an in-person workshop, I follow the same process with the only difference being that I don't write out a detailed script (step 1).
Progress Over Perfection
Now, you might say, "Amy, it's your perfectionism that's driving you to have all the details worked out prior to launching your course." Fair enough, it might be. In fact, a lot of gurus recommend that you don't build your course until it's sold and then, build just one module at a time as the training is unfolding. But, when you sell to corporations, not-for-profits, and other organizations, you really can't "wing it" each week by scrambling to pull content together. Clients expect a well-thought out and well-crafted program.
That being said, I fully recognize that my perfectionism often impedes my progress. My desire to give my clients as much value as possible can lead to content overload and overwhelm. If I'm not careful, I could end up building things they don't need or that don't add value. Like in many things, there becomes a point of diminishing return.
Three things help me to keep my perfectionism in check:
Most Valuable Skills: Identify the most valuable skills or insights that have the greatest return on Participants' investment of their time, money, and energy in this course. What are the critical few lessons/learnings that will help your Participants achieve the goals and benefits identified in the Purpose of the course?
Top Questions Asked: Questions you're asked in your coaching conversations, social media exchanges, or even casual conversations represent the information gap that you're uniquely positioned to fill. What questions are you often asked and how could those questions help you prioritize and pare down your content to what's most important to your Participants?
Bete Testing: Sometimes, you don't really know just what to include until you actually pilot or test your course. You'll see when people engage and when they check-out. You'll hear their questions, success stories, and failed attempts that need more attention. Their feedback will help you perfect your course content and approach.
More Ideas for Building A Course
Creating courses and other content is one of my favorite parts of my job. In fact, one of the people who has had the greatest impact on how I develop my courses is my mentor, Amy Porterfield. She's put together a great guide called "Surprisingly Simple Ways to Turn Your Knowledge into a Digital Course" and you can access it here. If you've ever wondered if you can turn your wisdom and experiences into a course that could lead to flexibility and greater freedom, download Amy's FREE guide today!
