Her experience as a coach comes through with how she trains students to have compassion for clients while motivating them to progress.

Amy
Amy Frost’s “Resilience at Work” Workshop is relevant, refreshing, and restorative. I participated in the workshop with a room full of other business owners and high level executives. Even the most passionate of us could relate to experiencing burn-out, frustration, and all around not-our-best-selves moments in our beloved careers. I believe Amy’s insight, perspective, and resources would be applicable and of value to ANY growth-focused workplace and professional. It certainly helped me! Michelle Berger DSK Communications
“I found myself in a position where I wanted (and needed) a Life Management Coach who would: 1) take me seriously, 2) not take me too seriously, and 3) provide encouragement, guidance, tools and support. Amy met and exceeded my expectations in all of these areas by customizing a 90-day recalibration process through her Getting Back to Work/Re-Igniting Your Pilot Light programs."
“Amy served as the match that relit my pilot light, and while I provided the fuel necessary to make the changes, Amy was the ever-steady hand turning up the knob as we worked together using tools Amy has created over the years. Amy customizes the 90-day recalibration process specifically for each client and that client’s goals, and then allows you to work on your ‘stuff’ independently while providing gentle support and guidance along the way. This personalized and unique approach combined with one’s own desire to change and become the person you truly want to be is a formula for success, not to mention a lot of fun. The tools and wisdom Amy shared with me will be used over and over again and will stay with me for a lifetime and will create a lifetime of change!” —Noelle Butler, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles
“Amy’s books and workshops have taught me to become more in tune with who I am and to believe in myself. They have taught me that all the qualities necessary to be a better person, employee, leader or manager in the workplace come down to focusing on ourselves and our principles centered in truth. Only from this base level can we learn to change ourselves and tap into our unlimited potential to be better human beings and employees.” —Gary Oliver, U.S. Navy, Strategic Systems Programs
“Amy has a warm style and inspires trust and sharing among her workshop participants. Speaking honestly from her own personal experiences, and tapping into her extensive knowledge of interpersonal and workplace dynamics, she touches people in a deeply meaningful way. She deals with life’s challenges from a very real-world perspective, helping her audiences to use their own experiences to solve problems and change life perspectives. Amy’s work has truly added a unique dimension to our workshop offerings.” —Ned Cooney, Director, Resource Center for Nonprofit Management
"Your presentation yesterday was awesome, you brought up some very insightful messages that we need to listen to our inner self and take good care of us so we can continue to thrive. You are truly an understanding and kind person as well as a pleasure to work with, thank you!! Joyce Andersson
"Thank you so much for spending time at our site and teaching us about Stress Management. It was such a pleasure meeting you and I received really great feedback about you and the content of the sessions. I also really appreciate you taking the time to send the additional information. I hope we can have you back here again!" Vicki Perkins "
"On my first big community event, I prepared for 100 people and 5 people showed up and I was encouraged by Amy Frost to present like I had 100 or more people in front of me and she stated to me, "The people that are supposed to be here are here." That has stuck with me and since that day and every event after that, I don't care about the numbers, I care about and for the ones that showed up or sincerely have the desire to attend but their circumstances have made it impossible. Thank you Amy for having the light inside of you that shines for all to see. Thank you for your support, Michael D. Thrower
