With two decades of experience in emotional intelligence and human behaviour in the workplace, Amy has built a reputation for her tough love approach and infectious energy in driving ownership, boosting performance and transforming workplace cultures.
Together, Shelley and Amy explore the chase of the “future person” and the importance of living in the present, finding balance between work, family and life. They dive into the drivers behind always reaching for the next step - whether ego or a genuine desire to learn - while embracing self-acceptance, understanding personal wiring and reflecting with forgiveness. Tune in to hear how emotional intelligence can shape the way we respond, connect, and truly thrive.
