My approach
I’ve built these Art of Getting Unstuck programs to help people get unstuck on what’s most important to them.
They’re based on these truths:
-
I know, it may seem obvious why something is important. But inevitably, when I work with clients on this question, we get to a deeper AHA that is the first step to getting them unstuck. Sometimes, there's something holding them back (guilt, self-judgment, etc). Sometimes, a surface-level rationale is masking a much deeper, more core need.
-
This is the act of setting small, deliberate steps that help us move forward easily, then learn and refine.
-
And we'll explore ways to do this well. We don't often fail to meet our desires right out of the gate. We fail over time, but there are things we can do to make continued success more likely.
To build these programs, I drew on everything I’ve learned over my life and my career:
how to design delightful experiences
the science of behavior change and the practice of designing experiments
what mindfulness practice teaches us about navigating liminality
how somatics (the practice of listening to the body) can ground us
neuroscience and what we know about mind-body connection
how to date well (yes, I promise it fits!)
and what it feels like to make big moves (of all kinds, geographical, career, and relationship).
In the words of a client:
“Working with Amy is a dream. Think back to the best brainstorm you've ever experienced... ideas are flowing, it's a whole lot of fun. Now imagine the thing you're trying to solve is yourself. That's what the program is like. Amy is supportive, collaborative, and a master synthesizer. She has helped me take big questions—like "what's important to me right now in a home?" or "how do I build community in a new place?" or "how will I know when it feels right?"—and break them down into tangible steps and experiments to prototype and try out.”
