Our One-on-One Coaching Process

Phase 1:

Discover Your Talents

We use a variety of self-assessments and 360 degree feedback to identify your strengths, as well as what you can do better, differently or more often. You'll create a clear picture of your talents and define your success path to achieve your professional and personal goals.

Phase 2:

Achieve Your Goals

You'll get tools, tips, and techniques to capitalize on your strengths. You'll overcome the challenges faced in your work and implement simple frameworks and habits to boost your productivity, relationships, personal wellness, and mindset to live a purposeful life.

Get Ignited

We'll make sure you stay focused to ensure your new skills and behaviors are sustainable. You'll also focus on long-term goals to help you find fulfillment in work and life. Most importantly, you'll gain the confidence and energy to be the best leader you can be.

We are honored to have been chosen to
coach leaders from organizations such as:

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 personal 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 one-on-one coaching 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 Things to Do While It’s Quiet at Work 

December 22, 20254 min read

5 Things to Do While It’s Quiet at Work

Welcome to that brief window every year when the pace slows just enough for you to hear yourself think.

Emails trickle in. Meetings get postponed. Decision-making pauses. And for once, the urgency eases.

For many business leaders, this quiet time feels uncomfortable. You’re used to reacting, solving, supporting, and staying two steps ahead. When things finally slow down, the instinct is to fill the space or to just kick back and relax.

This year, instead of powering through all the unfinished work or conversely, laying low through the holidays only to make January 5th the start of a new race, try some of these intentional activities to reset your energy, sharpen your focus, and set yourself up for a steadier start to the year ahead.

1. Clean Up the Invisible Work

Take time to review the behind-the-scenes responsibilities that quietly drain your energy.

  • Audit recurring meetings: Which ones can be shortened, delegated, eliminated?

  • Clean up email rules, folders, and notifications.

  • Review standing commitments (e.g., committees, task forces, projects) and decide what no longer aligns with your role or priorities.

  • Update or delete outdated documents, processes, or trackers that demand mental space.

  • Clean off your desktop so it looks like your first day on the job.

Why it matters: Mental and physical clutter is exhausting and leaders carry a lot of it!

2. Strengthen the Foundation, Not Just Your To-Do List

Most leaders plan the new year like a sprint with big goals, aggressive timelines, and zero white space. Instead of jumping straight into goal-setting, focus on how you want to work and lead.

  • Define your personal mission, vision, or purpose statement and how you want to show up this year.

  • Define what success will look like beyond output (e.g., energy, focus, sustainability, leadership).

  • Decide where you need stronger systems (e.g., delegation, communication, boundaries).

  • Clarify your top 3 priorities for the first quarter.

  • Plan your first 90 days with margins that intentionally leave space for the unexpected.

  • Identify skills or mindsets you need to develop, not just tasks to complete.

Why it matters: Strong foundations prevent reactive leadership and constant firefighting.

3. Reset Your Energy, Not Just Your To Do List

Quiet seasons are ideal for restoring energy without pressure.

  • Reflect on this past year: Where were you stretched too far? Where did you thrive?

  • What adjustments can you make to feel capable, confident, and energized in the new year?

  • During this quiet time, reintroduce something that brings joy or creativity into your life.

  • Block time on your calendar (like meetings with yourself) for the next year to maintain that joy, chase creative pursuits, and fuel your energy tank on a regular basis.

Why it matters: Energy fuels performance. Without it, even the best plans fail.

4. Capture Leadership Lessons Learned (Before You Forget Them)

Take time to reflect so you make better choices next year:

  • What leadership approaches worked well for you during the past year?

  • What felt harder than it needed to be?

  • What 2 or 3 leadership behaviors do you want to repeat consistently next year?

  • What 1 or 2 habits do you want to build or change?

Why it matters: Reflection turns into wisdom. Wise leaders inspire others.

5. Prepare Your Team for a Strong Start

Use this time to make next year even easier for everyone, including you.

  • Clarify expectations and priorities during the first week of January so the team is ready to hit the ground running.

  • Create your scoreboard so the team can self-manage their progress and results.

  • Identify one responsibility that you can delegate more fully next year.

  • Plan one meaningful conversation that you’ll have with each team member to start the year right.

Why it matters: The more clarity your team has, the less pressure you carry.

A Final Thought

Quiet seasons at work aren’t gaps to fill. They’re opportunities to reset, realign, and recharge. When leaders use these last 2 weeks of the year intentionally, they refuel their energy tanks, increase clarity, and create momentum that lasts far into the new year.

As this year comes to a close, I would like to thank you for your business and your friendship. I am grateful for the opportunities I've had to get to know you, to learn more about your business, and to help you achieve your goals. I wish you a new year full of health, wealth, and great joy!

Merry Christmas!
