About Amy Larson

I love coaching! It is my passion and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to help my clients find more success, meaning, and happiness in their lives. My practice is solutions-focused and founded on the principles of Positive Psychology, the scientific study of how people flourish - what makes them happy and successful and how to fill their lives with purpose, meaning, optimism and peace. I help my clients find more meaning and purpose in their work and personal life, navigate challenging transitions, find more meaningful work via a career change, increase their impact at work and achieve better work/life balance.

I received my certificate in Positive Psychology Coaching from the Wholebeing Institute (WBI) as well as certification in Positive Psychology from Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, founder of WBI and a leader in Positive Psychology education and leadership training. I have an undergraduate and graduate business degree from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and The Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, respectively. I have worked in Investment Banking, Management Consulting, and Consumer Products Marketing. My coaching practice draws on the full range of my educational and work experience.

I work with clients to help create new levels of awareness and insights into their own untapped knowledge, strengths, and resources to spark positive change in their lives and reach their most significant life goals. Together we can clarify your goals and increase your awareness of your strengths, internal and external resources and skill set to get you where you need to go. We will also discuss the obstacles and challenges you face and then develop a high-level strategy with concrete, achievable steps for achieving your goals. I will be there to support you and keep you accountable during this process. Progress will be made during and between sessions when you make the choice to change your behavior and focus.
