My approach
I’ve built these programs to help people identify and act on what’s really important to them and why… which makes hard decisions easier and living into what’s most important more natural.
They’re based on these truths:
-
They’re defined as when more than one choice can be right, but for very different reasons. So there is no deducting your way to the truth. Pro-con lists don’t work in these situations, and they can quickly become paralyzing.
-
While seemingly small, these tradeoffs add up to us living in alignment with what’s most important to us. I call these micro-hard decisions. But we rarely hav time to reflect on what’s important enough to do something about it (except, ironically, to chastize ourselves for not doing more / different better).
-
This is the act of setting small, deliberate steps that help us move forward easily, then learn and refine.
To build these programs, I drew on everything I’ve learned over my life and my career:
how to design delightful experiences
the science of behavior change and the practice of designing experiments
what mindfulness practice teaches us about navigating liminality
how somatics (the practice of listening to the body) can ground us
neuroscience and what we know about mind-body connection
how to date well (yes, I promise it fits!)
and what it feels like to make big moves (of all kinds, geographical, career, and relationship).
In the words of a client:
“Amy has changed how I think about hard decisions. Her experiment-led approach has reframed the way I look at the world. Big decisions no longer seem so monumental, just because they're big, because I'm no longer attached to one path working out the way I used to be.
It’s the secret to everything.” Lea, Where is Home? client
