AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP INTENSIVE
Experience a Breakthrough in
Emotional Intelligence,
Trustability and Communication Skills
"If it speaks to you, at all...
then I’d say you should definitely jump on.
If you are a manager or boss and you have a team that you want to bring together.
If you are a coach or teacher who wants to work with groups, improve your facilitation skills, and expand your impact.
If you are a yoga teacher and want to connect with your students more.
If you’re a mom or a dad and you want to bring the family together and have better communication.
Even if you just want to do it for yourself, to open up your heart to be more vulnerable, which I personally have a hard time with. Its helping me to dig in there and connect with people.
I think this training really can be for anyone."
-- Erin, 2017 Participant, NYC
"This weekend challenged my ideas of what leadership means. I learned valuable new skills which I was able to put into practice immediately. It was a powerful experience to learn and bond with a small group of people who have the same interests in mind: to help the world connect in a more authentic way. I left feeling inspired, supported and excited about what's going to happen next for both me and my classmates."
- Rachel, Operations and Systems Strategist, Philadelphia
" Imagine me being this way with people that work for me and then them being this way with all the clients they come in contact with. Just spreading being authentic."
- Cindy, Founder and CEO, NY
" I see this work as important for corporations and businesses because employees would be left feeling like human beings instead of performance machines. I’m leaving this weekend feeling empowered. "
- Vidya, Senior Manager, CVS Health, New York

"Working with Amy has been inspiring to say the least. Amy's passion, dedication and commitment to building people and communities is evident in the way that she holds a space and relates to every individual. Amy's presence and guidance continuously motivates me to be the better, more authentic version of myself. Through the workshops I’ve attended and one-on-one work with Amy, she’s taught me how to be more comfortable (and even sometimes uncomfortable when necessary) in my own skin and to find voice in the silent parts of me. Amy is my favorite powerhouse & continues to be a mentor to me." - Chelsey, Entrepreneur, Johannesburg South Africa
This 3 day, 3 night training is designed to empower coaches, leaders, teachers, managers, business owners, facilitators, and consultants with a leadership and facilitation toolkit to bring greater connection and depth to the spaces they lead.
It is rooted in principles from Improv, Human Development, Authentic Relating and Circling and is applicable to all leaders and teachers. Your communication skills will grow, your capacity for vulnerability and spaciousness in leadership will grow, your support and collaborator networks will grow, as will your knowledge of exercises, structures, and tools.
Leadership emerges in many settings– professional, educational, creative, friendship, parenting, partnership. The Authentic Leadership Intensive is designed to support you in deepening the trust of those you engage with, increasing your sense of play, freedom and creativity in your communication, and cultivating the integration of your authentic core values and expression into your relationships.
The Authentic Leadership Intensive is intended to empower you to lead with an integrated and embodied sense of Presence, Connection, Agility, and Vulnerability.
Using a foundation of Authentic Relating and Improvisation tools and structures, we will explore and practice how to cultivate and integrate powerful leadership skills such as empathy, clear and evocative communication, context setting, spontaneity, planning, and more.
The potential application of this work is extensive and can range from the simplest use in your day to day relationships, team-training in your professional environment, or you may choose to lead others in developing their Authentic Relating toolkits by offering your own workshops that share the teachings from our weekend together.
On our final evening together we will welcome your guests at a public event where you will have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and co-lead an Authentic Relating Workshop with the other participants of the weekend course.
