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!

5 Mistakes DiSC Facilitators Make
What Are the Most Common Mistakes Facilitators Make When Teaching DiSC?
Quick Answer:
The five biggest DiSC facilitation mistakes all come down to one thing: focusing more on teaching the tool than transforming the people. Great facilitators know the spotlight belongs on the participants, not the presenter.
I wish I would have kept track of how many DiSC sessions I’ve facilitated over the last 25+ years. I am sure it’s hundreds, maybe more than 1,000. I have made many mistakes. I’ve learned from them and I want to share them with you, so that you can have the impact on your learners and organization that you desire.
Mistake #1. Making the Session About You Instead of Them
We’ve all done it. You prepare, you know the content cold, and before you know it, you’re the star of the show. The jokes land, the timing’s sharp, and people are laughing… but are they learning?
DiSC workshops work best when participants see themselves in the content, not you. Your job is to guide discovery, not deliver a monologue. Use personal stories sparingly, check your airtime, and remember: if you’re talking more than they are, you’re probably over-teaching and under-transforming.
Mistake #2. Failing to Facilitate Real Connections in the Room
Facilitators sometimes focus so much on sharing their passion for DiSC, following their planned activities, and sticking to their timed agenda that they forget to connect the people. On more than one occasion, I’ve had a well-meaning HR person point out that I was deviating from the agenda, but then, the business leaders in the room told me me that was the most meaningful and impactful part of the session.
A great DiSC experience isn’t about letters and scripts. It’s about helping teammates understand and value each other. When participants walk away saying, “I learned something about us,” you’ve nailed it. Build small-group conversations, pair shares, and discussions about real life into your agenda. Those connections are what make the learning stick.
Mistake #3. Designing the Session Around Your Own Style
It’s human nature: we teach the way we like to learn.
A high-D facilitator might push through everything to get to the point.
A high-i facilitator might pack the session with games and breakout energy.
A high-S facilitator might create deep, thoughtful discussions.
A high-C facilitator might take a deep dive into data and analysis.
But if you design every workshop around your DiSC style, you'll lose three-quarters of the room.
The solution? Balance your session agenda intentionally. Mix in a short wrong way/right way video for the C’s, an energizer for the i’s, pair discussions for the S’s, and some competition for the D’s. The more variety, the broader your impact.
4. Not Linking DiSC to Real Business Problems
This is a big one. Too many workshops stay theoretical without ever asking, “What’s really happening on your team?” Every DiSC session should connect directly to business reality:
What goals need to be achieved and what traits will help the team to achieve them?
Communication breakdowns? Use Catalyst comparisons to diagnose them.
Low morale? Explore what each style needs to stay motivated.
Departmental friction? Have groups map their styles to see how dynamics form.
When participants tie DiSC insights to real challenges, the learning becomes practical, not theoretical and that’s when behavior starts to change.
5. Forgetting the Follow-Up
Even the best workshop fades fast if there’s no reinforcement. DiSC isn’t a one-and-done. It’s a language you have to keep speaking. A simple follow-up can make all the difference:
Send a Catalyst reflection question a week after your workshop.
Host a 15-minute “DiSC in Action” check-in or small group coaching session once a month.
Give leaders a micro-habit challenge (e.g., Adapt one sentence in your next coaching conversation).
The goal isn’t more training. It’s sustained transformation.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve made some of these mistakes, you’re in good company. Every skilled facilitator has. The difference between a good workshop and a great one is your own awareness. When you shift your focus from delivering content to creating connection, everything changes - energy, engagement, behavior change, and long-term results!
