From Stuck to Inspired

Customer reviews for Amy Sanchez Executive Coach

I would give Amy 10 stars if I could because that is where her coaching sessions have led me. We had a 12 week engagement and in this short time I discovered my sense of self, uncovered my strengths, and learnt how to work on my areas of growth. Amy is very empathic, professional, and has the ability to steer you in the absolute right direction by asking the right questions that evoke the right answers from you.

Like a true coach she is not inhibited to show you the mirror when needed and steer you away from going down the wrong path. Amy worked with me to uplift me not only in my career but also in my personal life. The positive changes in me have been noticeable even to my family. I am glad I worked with Amy at this point in my career to map the path forward and to gain much needed self-confidence.
Forever grateful!

Twisha

Co-Founder & COO

I worked with Amy for several months when I was considering whether it was time for a job change after many years at my current company. I found Amy to be an excellent listener and great at asking questions to help understand what motivated me and what professional situation I was really looking for. Amy was very good at helping me sort through pros and cons of various options and at offering advice with both professional decisions and some aspects of my personal life to enable me to better support my goals. Amy identified solutions that worked for me instead of just offering cookie cutter advice. I appreciated that she was very flexible and worked at my pace and was always available when I needed her help. Once I had decided to change jobs, Amy provided some extraordinarily helpful advice in negotiating my compensation. I learned a lot through working with Amy and know that her advice was timely, but will also serve me well moving forward. Overall, I am extremely pleased with my coaching engagement and with my new job and would recommend Amy highly for anyone considering a job change or career advice.

Bill D.

Chief Scientific Officer

What an amazing experience. I can't thank Amy enough for the direction she's given me, the empowerment and self discovery process, and the natural skill she has in progressing me to my full self ability and worth. I am honored to find such a treasure, a resource for my professional growth. I have definitely benefited and it was 100% worth the investment.

Sheng M.

Director, Stanford Health Care

I am so grateful to have found Amy. When we met, I was in a professional rut struggling to identify solutions for the barriers that overwhelmed me.

Through our sessions, I've learned to show up for myself with confidence and create a toolkit for managing stress both personally and professionally. She has held me accountable on this journey and celebrated each of my successes along the way. I have been moved by her balance of patience and motivation in helping me uncover my strengths and opportunities. As we close our sessions together, I feel clarity and understanding of who I am and reconciliation within myself that I didn't know was possible.

Amy's approach is like nothing I've seen before, and the intentional nudge with which she pushed me towards my purpose has changed my life. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is seeking greater fulfillment in their lives, she is one of a kind!

Emily S.

Head of Events

Amy helped me navigate a career transition and job search. She guided me through several exercises to uncover my core values, strengths, and life goals. Through the process Amy was an incredible listener, often replaying my comments to help me discover patterns that I might not have recognized on my own. Later she helped me to craft an ideal job/company/culture profile that I then used to conduct a targeted job search. When I started actively interviewing, she provided coaching and tools that helped me stay true to my core values while evaluating employment offers. I ended up landing a great job! I highly recommend Amy if you are considering a job search and/or any type of career change.

Brian

VP Sales Operations

Amy helped me discover such important lessons about who I am and what I want to achieve. After working with her, I feel confident that I know what I am meant to do, what my career goals are, and how I am going to achieve them. I have a much deeper understanding of the factors of a job that matters most to me, and I even have a vision of what I’d like my ‘retirement’ to look like and a plan to get there.

Leslie

VP of Marketing at a Tech Company

Amy has helped me make a huge change in my career outlook, and we're not even done with all of the coaching sessions I signed up for! With every single session, she helped me build my confidence, unearth new insights about what has held me back before, and find clarity about my purpose and how I can align my values and priorities with my work. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is motivated to find more fulfillment in their careers, but is feeling stuck or lost. I now feel that I have a blueprint for moving forward and am confident I can make a successful transition to the next stage of my career.

Maggie T.

Lawyer

I initially reached out to Amy through a friend's recommendation when I was considering a shift in my career, and life felt especially uncertain due to the pandemic.

I knew Amy was good at what she did, and I planned on finding a more concrete path towards what I might want to do for a next career step. Instead, what I got was one of the most rewarding opportunities to re-evaluate my perspective on life-- rediscover my core values, my deeper purpose, and what truly defines my happiness.

It's challenging to put a value on such a profound experience, but through Amy's ability to empathize, while asking you to do some tough, but necessary digging, I can easily say my time with her was one of the best investment's I've made in myself throughout my life.

Alyce B.

Account Supervisor

With a career that felt like it was stagnating, I was looking for a change. I needed to find a way to break the cycle of frustration and lateral moves. I started working with Amy near the end of 2018. She helped me to assess my work situation in the context of my current job and past experience. This allowed me to figure out a path to resolve the issues that I had control over and mitigate the frustrations with the issues I could not control. The collaboration we had was excellent and she was quite insightful.

While I originally went into my work with Amy thinking that I would change jobs, I ended up negotiating a sizable raise with additional positive changes in my role. I also feel that I will be far better prepared for my next role because of the work I did with Amy.

Andy

Senior Director of Engineering

I was hesitant when seeking out Amy as a coach because I had never done this kind of thing before. I wasn’t even quite sure what I was hoping to accomplish. Amy quickly distilled these hesitations. She asked questions that challenged me, pulling me out of my comfort zone and guided me. This was exactly what I needed, without realizing it. I came away tools to better manage my day to day and propel me forward. I recommend her to anyone who is seeking clarity, whether it be professional or personal.

Kerrie

Sales/Marketing

Working with Amy is a treat. She's a great coach who strives to understand my background, ask thought-provoking questions, and guide me to identify my obstacles in a non-judgemental way. I feel very comfortable discussing challenges that might hinder my personal and professional growth. Amy is also very good at keeping a focus on our conversation so it would result in assignments towards achieving the grand objective- a fulfilling life and career. I thought I could rely on my friends and family to provide feedback and advice in life, but I certainly benefited from Amy's fresh perspective and approach.

Michael

Entrepreneur

My career thus far has encompassed numerous roles which have given me the opportunity to pick up new skills as well as expand my portfolio to cover a myriad of job functions. Through all this, I felt that I was missing a key ingredient that would help me determine where to steer my career path. Instead of being a ship sailing at the mercy of the wind, I wanted the ability to steer my future on a course that I would chart.

I engaged Amy Sanchez as a Career Coach to help me understand a basic question, "what's next?". Through our sessions, Amy and I delved into the mechanics of what motivates me, what I am looking for and how I could progress towards my goals. What I received was more than the typical exercise to update my resume and draft a really jaw dropping cover letter. These sessions went beyond the norm to help me better understand how my career has progressed and how to move forward. A map has many points and through these sessions I was able to identify the right points to connect to in order to chart my career path.

Engaging in career coaching often carries a stigma that it is only for those individuals who are in a dead-end career. I can attest that the statement is untrue. Sometimes you just need someone to help you remove the noise around you so that you can see clearly. Amy can help you with that. Her techniques, tips and feedback empower you to do more. If anyone is looking to get a fresh perspective on where they are with their current careers, then I would highly recommend that you engage Amy for coaching. Your journey should only end when you want it to.

Razief

Implementation Manager at AT&T Singapore

Amy is a fantastic coach! I was looking for help with fears and confidence issues with a career change--specifically leaving my steady paycheck job to launch a business closer to my heart. I worked with Amy for 3 months+ and learned something important about myself with each session. Along the way, she helped me voice my own answers to blocks that were preventing me from fully embracing the next steps I envisioned. Armed with specific tools and a deeper understanding of my skills and value, I now have an action plan in place that will enable me to launch my new business imminently. If you are searching for a career coach, I can't recommend Amy's coaching services more emphatically!

Judy

Associate Director, Stanford

Meeting with Amy was an incredibly helpful experience. Not only did she make me feel comfortable sharing a great deal about myself and my struggles, by the end of our conversation, but she also gave me the clarity I needed to feel confident in my decision. I’m so glad she’s a trusted resource for me now.

Courtnee

Principal Evaluation Consultant at Kaiser Permanante

Amy and I began working together in August of 2018. Needless to say our partnership has been amazing. I have worked with many coaches over the last few years and I can honestly say that her approach is exactly what I have needed.

Amy's approach is very steady. It is very apparent that she prepares for our sessions together. I have had moments of difficultly remembering what her and I have spoken about, but she has an uncanny way of keeping the totality of our work very present in each conversation, which enhances my own personal accountability and leverages my life & career initiatives.

I tend to prioritize others' needs before my own which slowly starts to result in me losing touch with my own needs. Amy's coaching helped me remember why it was important to tend to myself first and as a result, I've made some tangible changes that enable me to better care for all around me, including myself.

If you are on the hunt for a coach to help you in any form of career transition, who keeps you on track, is steady, and holds you accountable each session, look no further than Amy.

Nicholas

Chief Petty Officer, U.S. Coast Guard

Amy is an amazing coach. I came to her seeking help with some struggles I was having at work, but what I didn’t expect is that I needed guidance in my personal life as well. She is extremely amiable and has the ability to connect with her clients quickly and to begin work with them at whatever stage they’re in at the time. She is trustworthy, always encouraging, and a patient and insightful guide through life experiences in pursuit of goals and dreams. She also offers good value and high integrity. Every session was therapeutic and eye-opening, however, I had to work at it every day to see the results and improvements. The homework Amy assigned during each session were relevant to push me forward, to get me to the place I needed to be and feel positive.

Nicole

Higher Education Administration

Working with Amy was extremely helpful as I was navigating a reoccurring challenge at work. Through her thoughtful and methodical process, she helped me to reframe my interpretation of the situation to one that was less stressful and daunting. Amy helped me hone in on the root of the issue and create an action plan to improve the situation almost immediately. Now, a challenge that used to constantly plague me has significantly lessened and I am able to move forward and focus my time and attention on other areas.   I truly appreciate Amy’s straightforward coaching approach and keen business sense. I wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a career reboot!

Haley

VP of HR at Blue Shield

Starting my career as a corporate lawyer in the UK, I moved to the US, launched a business, and then had my first child. Although I loved aspects of what I was doing work wise, I was struggling to identify the next steps in my career and was feeling increasingly frustrated.

I decided working with a career coach would be a sensible approach in aiding me with finding clarity and I picked out Amy to help me!

I had the pleasure of working with Amy for over 3 months, and I can't express how impactful her coaching sessions were. Amy helped me to identify the type of work I loved to do most, what industry I should operate in, and what my overall values and vision were (in both life and in my career).

Working with Amy has unlocked so much energy and excitement about my future career steps, at a time when my energy levels were feeling depleted.

I wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone who is struggling to answer "what should I do in life".

Charlotte

Small Business Owner

Working with Amy has made me realize that I never really defined my end goal which is why I wasn’t finding it. She’s helped me identify what I want in life overall. There’s something very powerful about Amy’s style that completely put me at ease and helped me be really honest with myself. I call it “the magic of Amy” and I’m so glad I decided to work with her! She’s truly gifted and one of a kind!
