CEO Story: Having been in the startup world for about six years, Amie felt that there was energy, passion, and speed within that kind of setting. Start-up is a very specific mode of operation. Having as much experience as a strategy expert and a people coach. To dive deep as a strategy consultant, she narrowed down and focused on Startup Technology, to which Amie is so committed to Strategy.
Business Service: Coaching from a perspective of strategy. Leveraging the person to his capabilities, optimized version of themselves.
Secret Sauce: Work with organizations to develop their strategies, not giving advice on a strategy. Methodology, future-based vision, and drives back to goals.
CEO Hack: Everybody should be married to their calendar. Everything you intend to do should be in that calendar with allotted time with a specific duration.
CEO Nugget: Be clear about what your focus is, and be equally clear about what is not. Don’t allow yourself to be killed by opportunism.
CEO Defined: Having a visceral connection to the value that the organization produces.
