Courage, for High Performance and Confidence at Work

Our relationship with fear will determine our success individually and collectively. For us to have the action required to supoprt our complex and changing world, we must be agile in our thinking and behaviour. We must be able to speak up, show up and feel confident.

Amy understands how to help people bring all they have to the table. She can quickly see how people limit themselves and, in a non-threatening way, pushes them to give more. We have seen revenue increase by 37% YTD. In addition to this staff engagement has dramatically increased and attendance has been the best it’s been since the business inception.

Rebecca | Brand Strategist

Amy's profile tells you everything you need to know about her skills, professionalism and expertise. I verify all of those things, but would like to add what she is like to work with - as often that is the thing that determines the success of a project. Amy is engaged, interested and inquisitive. She brings energy, enthusiasm and proactive drive, delivering work with clarity, intelligent analysis and a good dose of common sense. She is a joy to work with.

Mei Lim | Communications Director

We recently worked with Amy to help us determine our strategic direction. How glad we were to have Amy! She helped us design the discussion guide and moderated groups with professionalism so that we got what we needed. She was outstanding, focused, efficient and really took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve.

Amy has a science based approach, yet also has a personable manner that achieves great outcomes for those she coaches or participants in facilitation sessions. Amy has an exceptional toolkit of techniques that she applies effectively across multiple types of topics and challenges, distilling complex issues into structured exercises.

Helen | Facilitator and Coach

Amy is an extraordinarily perceptive practitioner and facilitator, able to get to the nub of people's concerns, needs and wants both rapidly and elegantly.

Amy's presentation style is relaxed and engaging, and she makes it easy to participate. Her depth of knowledge of psychology, human behaviour, emotional intelligence, business, and change is excellent.

Candice | Demand & Supply Planning Manager

Working with Amy was a fantastic experience. She challenged the thinking I had traditionally had about myself, enabling me to use a different approach to my work. She also helped me with tools that I'd not used before in managing my team which produced great results!

Peter | Chief Executive Officer

Amy Silver is a rare combination of heart and head. She is a world class thinker and author on the art and science of influence, and how that applies to leadership and communication. She walks her talk, and shows up everywhere in her world with authenticity and courage (and occasionally with a mischievous glint in her eye). If you get a chance to work with Amy, you’d be mad not to take it.

Paul | Director/Owner

We engaged Amy to help us understand the blockers and strengths of our growing business. Amy conducted in-depth interviews with key stakeholders across our business, and with each Partner. She created a comprehensive report which highlighted the critical issues so we could cut through to actionable items. Because of our work with Amy we are now in a position to move forward in our succession plan and achieve our goals.

Johann | Founder, Decision Design

Without question, Amy is one of the most psychologically present, calm, disarming and clear thinking people I have come across in business. I recommend Amy to any executive looking for a credentialed, scientific thinker to add value to talent and consumer insights functions.
