Amy was a steadying presence, provided surreal insight, and taught me how to slow down, believe in myself, and navigate uncertainty and difficulty with poise. Now I am in a position that I love. I believe in myself, and I know how to slow down & ask myself the right questions.
The questions she asked me will stay with me as I go throughout my career. I'm a better leader because of her influence and coaching, and I really believe the benefits will continue to grow as I take what she’s taught me into future seasons. Amy showed up for me in ways that were above and beyond the call of duty, and I truly appreciated every moment. I'm beyond grateful for her, and I sincerely hope that many, many more people get to experience the kind of safe, steadying, empowering, and awe-inspiring coaching sessions.

Rubayat Khan
Founder/CEO Jeeon, Global Healthcare Venture
I started working with Amy with doubts about what paths I wanted to pursue in my leadership career. Amy was able to guide me through my avoidance of asking and answering questions that I found difficult. She had the ability to provide methods for me to move forward and help me find my next path. Even after 6 months her words and advice continue to refresh my thoughts and remind me of my true desires for my career. Every moment of Amy's words and guidance was invaluable.
Reina Patel
Director, KPMG
I became aware of a lot of conversations I was missing, ones that were impacting my team and my own satisfaction as a leader. I learned how to spot important conversations and start having them, even when they were difficult.
Executive Director, KPMG
Amy Vodarek has a coaching style that is one in a million. I hired her to help me grow my business and I got results from the first month after we started working together.
Amy helps me focus on my goals and actions, holding me to them while providing a sense of calm and caring that is genuine and motivating. I now know what my care is and anchor my actions, choices and strategies back to that. I used to think it was “a nice to know”; now I realize I have plugged a massive leak in my productivity by being sure my actions are taking me toward my care and goals.
She is a coach-teacher; she enables her clients to thrive from within. Her clinical nursing background and business sense provide the ideal mix of deep caring and logic that create an environment of true connection and professionalism. I highly recommend Amy both as a coach and speaker.

Our coaching has helped me navigate as a founder and leader of a growing company by dealing head-on with opportunities for growth, difficult conversations and my professional development. She’s positive and focuses on helping me identify possibilities without avoiding the challenges.
Bridget Saulnier
Entrepreneur/CEO
Amy listens without judgment, making you feel there is nothing you can’t share. She is able to turn problems around and help you look at them from angles you had never considered - so much so that often she helps you to realize that what you may have considered a ‘problem’ is in fact an opportunity. And she has walked the walk - she is able to look through the lens of experience and empathize with many of the challenges that women face, and help others overcome challenges with genuine care, support and encouragement.

Being able to reconnect, focus and centre my thoughts allowed me to be aware of my emotions and my reactions to how I was seeing my work and life. I realize that what I once considered a problem is in fact, an opportunity for new learning, actions and results.
Manager, Professional Practice
I learned to create and maintain boundaries that allowed me to be of better service to my team and clients, to create a better client experience and show up at my best. I gained valuable insight, and self-awareness in our conversations. Amy shared a variety of tools to help me have the new conversations I was missing with colleagues and in my personal life. I now show up more refreshed for my colleagues and clients because I protect my wellbeing. I communicate better increasing my influence and improving relationships with them.
