(https://ghapodcast.com)**********************************************************************Amy has spent decades inside high-performance environments, most recently as a Vice President of Marketing at IBM, where speed, clarity, and execution are non-negotiable. Today she works with leaders and leadership teams across high tech, pharma, manufacturing, healthcare, communications, and financial services when the stakes are high and the way forward isn’t obvious. What makes Amy especially relevant for consulting firm owners is her focus on decision velocity and team performance. She helps teams solve complex problems together, make cleaner trade-offs, and build the confidence to move, without overthinking, perfectionism, or endless alignment cycles. Her approach is also a strong differentiator: she uses arts-based methods to unlock creativity as a leadership capability, fuel for resilience, innovation, and clearer thinking in an AI-shaped world. If your clients are asking for faster decisions and better collaboration, this is a framework you can borrow immediately. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1.

In your words, what’s the real problem you solve for leaders when the pressure is high and the path isn’t clear? 3.

What’s worked best for you to consistently attract the right clients, especially given your background in ABM and enterprise growth? Sub Question: And what do you think about podcasting as a marketing tool in the leadership coaching space, useful, overrated, or underused? 5.
