What Clients are Saying
“Working with Amy Kimball has been one of the most impactful professional experiences of my career. She has a rare ability to uncover the root causes of the challenges I face—often helping me articulate dynamics I hadn’t yet fully recognized. Amy never tells me what I “should” do; instead, she guides me toward solutions that feel authentic and aligned with who I am. Her approach consistently leads me to deeper insight, greater clarity, and a stronger sense of agency. One of Amy’s greatest strengths is her willingness to explore how deeply personal factors shape professional decisions, without ever losing sight of the appropriate boundaries between executive coaching and therapy. She navigates that line with skill: thoughtful, supportive, and probing, while always keeping the coaching relationship grounded in purpose and moving forward. Amy is also incredibly engaged and responsive. During some of my most challenging moments, she made herself available between scheduled sessions, acting as a steady sounding board when I needed perspective. She emphasizes the importance of capturing insights in writing—an invaluable practice that has helped me internalize and act on what I learn. And despite living seven states away, she has repeatedly gone out of her way to meet in person, which has made our work even more meaningful and effective. I began coaching with Amy at a pivotal moment: my company, which I founded, was at a crucial juncture, and I was wrestling with my relationship to the business and the role I should play in its future. The path to clarity was anything but linear, but Amy’s guidance helped me see my work, myself, and the relationship between the two in a far healthier and more coherent way. I now have a clearer understanding of what I truly have to offer—as well as what I don’t—and I make decisions from a more grounded and intentional place. If you are looking for a coach who is insightful, deeply skilled, and genuinely invested in your growth, I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. The impact of our work together has been profound, and I am immensely grateful for it.”

Since partnering with Amy, I’ve clarified my values, made faster, cleaner decisions, and started hiring strong people to extend our impact. Our work together is about building a durable operating system for how I lead, communicate, and set boundaries. I leave sessions with practical next steps and the energy to move. Thanks to my work with Amy, I feel more decisive, more visible, and more aligned with the founder I intend to be."
Lori L., Founder & CEO
"During my journey at the MIT Advanced Management Program, I had the privilege of being coached by Amy Kimball — an experience that profoundly shaped the way I see leadership, growth, and the power of developing others. Her ability to listen deeply, ask transformative questions, and challenge perspectives helped me discover new dimensions of my own leadership style. Through her guidance, I learned how to better amplify the potential of my team, connect purpose with performance, and lead with both clarity and empathy. I’m deeply grateful for every conversation, every reflection, and every insight she shared along the way. Her impact goes far beyond professional development — it’s about becoming a more conscious, courageous, and inspiring leader. If you’re looking for a coach who brings both wisdom and heart to every interaction, I can’t recommend Amy highly enough."

"Amy has been a steady and consistent force pushing me to be the best executive leader I can be. Always with kindness, Amy provides me with a fresh perspective to challenge my own self misconceptions, build on my strengths, and grow in new dimensions."
Steve S., Aerospace Executive
"I had been struggling with a complex challenge for weeks until I talked to Amy. She cut right through the thicket and heard the most important things I was saying - things I hadn't myself realized were the heart of the matter. She understood me better than I understood myself! And after that, the solution was clear."
Mary C., Pharma Communications Executive
"Amy is an excellent listener and asked many open-ended questions that surfaced a gap in my personal perception of success versus what is attainable for a complex organization. She does not offer solutions but guides you on a journey of self-discovery that is personal and impactful. She provided me with the space to explore this gap, how it affected my team and the personal stress it created. Everyone else in my life is biased by their relationship with me but Amy provides knowledgeable, structured and firm feedback about what she observes. With an improved perspective, I was able to identify several immediate changes that have already improved my career, well-being, relationships and life."
Scott L., Product Development Executive
"Amy excels at asking questions that unlock insights. She has the unique ability to unify her vast executive experiences with her academic background to deliver timeless value to the leaders she coaches."
Ali S., Technology Executive
"In the midst of my sessions with Amy, I called the experience, ‘career therapy’. Amy used a thoughtful and individualized approach to guide in recognizing my full potential as a leader and as a person. She had a unique ability to support me in identifying areas for growth and development while guiding me to developing a focused plan to achieve my goals. Amy was supportive, encouraging and insightful and after every session I felt motivated and challenged to grow in my current position. She was a master at motivating me to step out of my comfort zone, while simultaneously providing me with the tools and knowledge to navigate through experiences I was challenged in. My communication, collaboration and confidence significantly improved, personally and professionally, as a direct result of Amy’s coaching. I have developed a new perspective on my career goals and what type of leader I aim to be. Amy is a true professional and I found her to be accessible, responsive and supportive and always willing to share her wealth of knowledge and insights. Amy is an outstanding leadership coach- I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled leadership coach who is interested in advancing their leadership skills and growing their career."
