Meeting Notes & Remarks
I typicallyIn today's interconnected digital age, I've embraced the convenience and efficiency of meeting my clients online. Here's how we can connect:
Primary Platform: I predominantly use Zoom for our coaching sessions. It offers a user-friendly experience and seamless interaction.
Alternative Options: Understanding that everyone has different preferences and system constraints, I'm also open to connecting via MS Teams or Google Meet if they're more to your liking.
A Small Request: While I aim to be as accommodating as possible, I prefer to steer clear of Webex and Skype. This is purely a preference based on my experience, and I hope it aligns with your comfort levels.
If you are in the Northeast Columbus, Ohio, area, I would be delighted to meet you in person at your office or in a coffee shop. Let's coordinate in-person venues via email.
I believe that the medium should never be a barrier to the message, and I'm committed to ensuring our meetings are as smooth and productive as possible. Here's to our journey towards leadership excellence!

Hi, I'm Amy. My life started with a spiritual calling, but the path led me to the world of professional coaching—a journey I wouldn't trade for anything else. Here, I harness my unique experiences to propel your personal growth, assist you in navigating your career transitions, and foster self-discovery.Whether you're a rising frontline manager, a dedicated middle-manager, or an established executive, my mission is to empower you. Together, we will unravel complexities, broaden your perspective, and foster meaningful connections with even the most challenging individuals in your sphere. As your ally, I aim to unlock your inner "rock star", supporting your growth and maximizing your influence within your team and organization.
In my group coaching sessions, I create engaging environments for collective growth, focusing on key areas such as communication skills and change navigation. Whether in a group or one-on-one setting, my goal is to provide you a safe space for introspection, where you can achieve increased self-awareness and mindfulness, laying the groundwork for transformational change.
I provide insightful feedback, customized guidance, team-boosting tools, and positivity resources to help you foster confidence, motivation, and clarity in your personal and professional life. Together, we can face change with resilience, leveraging your strengths to navigate transitions smoothly and effectively.
In my years in the field, I've supported hundreds of leaders around the globe, from various industries such as tech, retail, food services, NGOs, and more. Based on these rich experiences, I bring a systems-thinking approach to my coaching, combining evidence-based, somatic, and presence-based techniques.

FOR BUSINESSES:
If you are seeking coaching services for the leaders in your business, pricing for the coaching engagement will depend on what exactly you are looking for. Please arrange an introduction / exploration session so we can get clear on your needs and outcomes, and I will respond with a proposal to meet your needs.
FOR INDIVIDUALS:
Before diving headfirst into your leadership journey, it's crucial to find a starting point, a compass. My low-cost Exploration Session is designed to be that compass. It offers a dedicated space for us to connect, map out your leadership trajectory, and identify any potential challenges in your path.
What You Can Expect:
Relationship Building: We begin with an open dialogue. I'm eager to learn more about your leadership journey, aspirations, and the current season of your career. It's an opportunity to ensure we're on the same page and start our journey on a positive note.
Setting the Stage: To ensure our discussion is structured and meaningful, I provide a clear roadmap of our call. This ensures transparency and ensures you're always aware of the next steps.
Your Leadership Story: This is the core of our session. You'll be encouraged to share your leadership story, detailing where you are and where you wish to be. I'll guide our conversation with thoughtful questions, ensuring we uncover the depth of your aspirations, and the breadth of challenges you might be facing.
Gaining Clarity: Together, we'll target three primary outcomes:
1. Unraveling your intentions, goals, and the powerful motivators that drive you.
2. Recognizing potential challenges or hurdles, both mental and tactical, that might be hindering your progress.
3. Crafting a preliminary strategy designed to yield tangible results.
As we navigate your leadership terrain, you'll be encouraged to take notes. These personal reflections often pave the way for profound insights. Jotting them down ensures you can revisit them later, enriching your leadership journey.
Why This Session?
Choosing a leadership direction or identifying challenges isn't always easy. This Exploration Session is designed to offer clarity, direction, and purpose, ensuring you're empowered to take your next leadership step with confidence.
Whether we decide to embark on a longer journey together or not, I'm committed to ensuring this session adds genuine value to your leadership narrative.

About me
About myself & my experience
I'm Amy Kay Watson, and I'm a leadership coach. I'm here because I want to help you to feel safe enough to share whatever is going on in your heart and on your mind. Are you struggling with work-life balance? Navigating a new leadership role or seeking to align your work with your passion and purpose? I'm here to help. I don't flinch when things get hard and I give you the space to be uncertain. My clients have been GenX and Millennial leaders, front-line leaders, and executives. They've included leaders in global corporations, governments, and higher education. With everyone, I help untangle your thoughts and feelings, addressing the unique challenges you face in your leadership journey. And I'm an expert in handling the everyday anxiety that trips us up and holds us back. More than anything else. I'm here to help you to be you -- to help you align your insides with your outsides, integrated and inspired. I want you to leave our sessions feeling heard, understood, equipped, and challenged -- just enough. If that's what you want to feel, then I'm here to support you.My photos
My coaching method & approach
I use evidence-based, somatic, and presence-based coaching with systems thinking to nurture clients' leadership and managerial talents. I also have a soft spot for helping people cope with everyday anxiety, often caused by their inner critic. With me, you can expect a judgment-free coaching experience, aimed at tapping into your potential and unveiling your inner strengths. Together, let's kickstart your transformation.Notes / Remarks
Born and raised in Texas, my journey took me through North Carolina and Princeton Theological Seminary before I found my home in Columbus, Ohio. As a proud married bisexual woman and a member of Middle Collegiate Church in NYC, I believe in the power of diverse perspectives, which are reflected in my approach to coaching. And yes, I also have a bunch of adorable cats waiting for me at home.Testimonials
