It’s been seven weeks since I officially introduced Amplify Wellness to the world on August 1, and it’s been a busy time full of both wins and lessons learned.

Wins

I completed my health and wellness coach training and am now officially a Mindbodygreen Health Coach! I’ve also been also approved to take the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching certifying exam this November – leading to the highest credential in health and wellness coaching. Lastly, I’ve been coaching clients daily as I build my practice. There are definitely things I’d do differently, but in each session I can see the small changes in my clients and feel myself learning, gaining skill and confidence.

Lessons Learned

A couple weeks ago, I dedicated time to creating a strategic plan for the rest of 2024. While it was daunting, it felt good to get really real about my goals for Amplify Wellness.

One of the hard truths I realized is that the culinary service (in-home kitchen organizing and meal prep) side of AW is not currently sustainable. It’s been a high-cost, low-reward project to get off the ground, and I haven’t cracked the code of how to run it efficiently and cost-effectively. In the spirit of failing fast and course-correcting, I’m refocusing Amplify Wellness only on coaching – and adding career coaching to the mix.

How do health & wellness and career coaching intersect?

As a health and wellness coach, I have a holistic approach to well-being, and I invite my clients to consider how different aspects of their life interact: physical, mental, emotional, financial, spiritual, environmental, and more.

Given that the labor we do – whether you want to call it an occupation, job, or career – consumes much of our time, it both impacts and is impacted by the other aspects of our wellness. As a coach, I specialize in behavior change, and I’ve already partnered with some of my health and wellness clients in setting career goals. But I also realized I have more to offer clients than just goal setting in this realm. I have expertise and experience that sets me apart, and I want to share that with my clients.

My Experience as a Career Coach

Since my days managing a college radio station (shoutout WGTB) to my time leading the hiring process for a competitive NPR internship, to serving as an informal career coach to friends and mentees over the years, I’ve learned what works to help ambitious people land the roles they want.

After reading thousands of resumés and cover letters and conducting hundreds of interviews, I can tell you this for sure: it’s all about marketing yourself. And marketing yourself is just storytelling – something that I honed while working with many talented journalists and podcasters at NPR.

With Amplify Career Coaching, we will tell your story – consistently, authentically, and in ways that are proven to get you noticed.

Why work with me?

I snagged the MBA job-seeker secrets so you don’t have to. The Amplify approach takes the best of what I learned at my MBA program and combines it with my story-centric approach perfected over years – which helped me land five(!) job offers the last time I was seriously on the job hunt.
Holistic is my middle name. Actually, it starts with an M (hence, AMPlify 😏). In all seriousness, my holistic approach means that I combine the power of health and wellness coaching with the tactical approach of career coaching, combining the best of both worlds for the best results. That might look like open-ended reflection questions early in our journey to make sure you’re targeting an industry or job that aligns with your values. Or it could mean a quick breathwork or meditation session to get you feeling your best before a high-stakes interview. As your coach, I view you as a whole person, all the time.
I meet you where you are. Whether you just need a resumé and cover letter tune-up, or you need more hands-on coaching for the next couple months, complete with mock interviews, the Amplify approach has a plan that works for you.
