More about Amy Venn Shepard
As a Certified Enneagram Coach with a Marriage and Family Endorsement, I am committed to and experienced in bringing understanding and healing to struggling families. With decades of Enneagram application and training in business, church, volunteer and family settings, I have a broad and deep pool of knowledge and experience to serve my clients most effectively.
I have been married for nearly 30 years and have three young adult kids. I have first-hand experience with autism, gender identity, ADHD, and relentless education challenges. With my extended family I have experience with alcoholism, divorce, affairs, childhood illness, care of and death of aging parents.
I have been an “official” coach for over two years; guiding clients from speakers’ stages, group coaching, online classes, retreats, conferences and one-on-one. Less formally, I have spent decades mentoring and coaching others in professional and religious settings.
Before becoming a full-time coach, I spent a fulfilling and successful career as a branding and marketing strategist, leading organizations, teams and clients to clarity and traction toward success.

Reviews
“Two years ago, I hired Amy to coach me through my divorce. Instead, Amy showed me how to command respect and offer grace. The Enneagram has been such a great tool. My marriage is the healthiest it has been in 23 years. I’m so glad my kids didn’t have to go through that.”
“Working with Amy Venn Shepard is life-changing. She is such an insightful, nurturing, truth teller. She dug in and led me through some really, really effective work. I feel renewed, completely in touch with myself, and ready to go!”
“Amy’s enneagram coaching gave my teenager and me a common language and understanding at a time in their life when connections can be rare and precious. These years are so hard and moving so fast. This investment was worth it for all of us.”
“Using the enneagram is like having secret codes to understand each other. It is so much easier to understand him, and I no longer assume we are coming from the same place. I love our differences, now that I understand them.”
