About

Lead yourself well without the hurry, hustle, or constant pressure.

For years, I lived under the weight of chronic stress, pushing myself to keep up with what others expected of me until I finally hit a wall of burnout. My mind and body were exhausted.

I work with leaders who are tired of pushing through stress and ready for a steadier, more sustainable way to lead. My approach supports individuals and teams in slowing down, building self-awareness, and leading in ways that are grounded, effective, and true to who they are.

Using the Enneagram and Working Genius, I help leaders better understand how they are wired, how stress shows up for them, and how to work with their natural strengths instead of constantly overriding themselves.
Rather than focusing on quick fixes or surface-level change, my work is holistic. We look at the whole person — including self-awareness, nervous system regulation, routines and rhythms, and inner clarity — so leadership change is sustainable, not exhausting.

My work is especially helpful for:

  • leaders experiencing burnout or chronic overwhelm
  • middle managers carrying pressure from all directions
  • thoughtful, conscientious leaders who want to lead with integrity
  • teams that want healthier, more effective ways of working together

I offer:

  • One-on-one coaching for individual leaders
  • Team and group workshops using the Enneagram and Working Genius

My role is not to push change, but to create clarity and steadiness so insight can actually take root.

If you’re ready to explore a calmer, more sustainable way to lead, let’s start with a conversation.

I work in-person with teams and leaders in the Auburn, Montgomery, Birmingham, and Anniston areas of Alabama. Virtual sessions are available for 1-1 coaching sessions.

Reviews:

Amy’s passion for and knowledge of the Enneagram inspired me to learn more about myself. The increased self awareness has helped me grow as a person, value my strengths, and understand my weaknesses. I also have become more compassionate towards others as I appreciate our differences. – Tina G. (Type 3)

Amy’s enneagram work has helped me to live a more balanced life. Understanding the ways that we get lost and the path back home is essential to becoming a whole person. Amy is an excellent guide on the journey to your True Self. Her knowledge of Enneagram and passion for helping others realize who they are in Christ is inspiring. – Brandy A. (Type 5)

Amy did a group session for me and 7 of my girlfriends. Her insight and understanding of the Enneagram really taught us a lot about ourselves, our spouses and each other. We enjoyed and appreciated how she ties Jesus in to it all because He is the perfect Creator! – Denise B. (Type 8)

We had a great experience working with Amy at Growth Essentials Coaching. She quickly put together a custom training session for my staff and I on very short notice and delivered excellent content. We all took an enneagram test ahead of time and spent a few hours diving into the traits of the different types as well as learning about how each type communicates. This was super helpful in figuring out ways to improve internal communications among our team but also helped us improve ways to communicate externally. I would highly recommend Amy! – Liz Johnson (Type 6)
