Burst Into Bloom Group Coaching

It’s something I’ve always wanted to do…I’m just waiting for the right time. When the kids are grown, I’m going to… I love that! Wish I’d done it. I don’t know why I can’t, but I can’t. I’m stuck. Wow, she’s lucky. I’m tired of sitting on my butt – I want to make this thing happen!

Sound familiar? Do you have an idea that’s burning a hole in your heart, something you know will be life-changing? Is there a novel that wants to be written, a business that wants to be launched, a gig you know would be great? Are you ready to commit to that meditation program, restructure your eating habits, learn to dance? Doesn’t matter if your idea is lofty or humble, if it’s an internal goal or one that will impact the entire world.

The point is, you have a Big Idea and you’re not taking action to make it real.

I get this. It’s part of a natural process, even though it’s an uncomfortable part of that process. So I’m suggesting you get serious about ending the stagnation. Step up your game, by putting your heart and your head behind your Big Idea.

Amy has a direct style that creates a safe, compassionate space in which to process the stuff of life. Her deep-dive approach invites me to access my own intuitive wisdom, and after a session, my perspective is inevitably expanded. Result? I’m quicker to see choices as well as move forward with more focus. Big thumbs up! – Lynn Baldwin-Rhodes (Power Chicks International), Seattle WA

burst into bloom group coaching is a six week program designed to take you out of your head and into inspired action. Inspired action comes from the intersection of who you are and what you want; it’s the result of knowing yourself deeply, and aligning actions with your heart.

In this group we’ll get crystal clear on the components of your idea; the why and the what. We will then get extremely curious about YOU; you’ll see how you’ve been sabotaging your own efforts, and you’ll embrace the unique combination of values, strengths and passion that positions you to take action.

We’ll discover the alchemy of you and your idea, and it will enable you to move forward with ease and confidence.

Because of who I am, the group will be equal parts deep-dive conversation around topics that might make you squirm, exercises that provoke instant insight, belly laughter, and quiet time for processing. I create a safe container for the work you’ll be doing, which is sacred.

Our time together will be enlightening, healing and productive.

I’m offering this to you because of the incredible power of group work. There’s a synergy in groups that allows us to go much deeper with the material than we would on our own; the others support, challenge and inspire us to go beyond our growth edges to what’s next. I want this for you.

The program really inspired me to get into action with an art project I’d been imagining for a very long time. Amy’s coaching and the group structure of the course gave me so much inspiration and a very real, tangible time frame for my project! I loved the support, the inspiration and the deeper looks at my idea, my vision and my fears….all of it helped me get clearer on my project, and really helped me take action to make it happen. Even if you don’t think you are ready to bloom….bring the seed of an idea…no matter how small, and watch it develop, grow and bloom with Amy’s expert tending! – Tifin Kutch Dillon, life coach, San Jose, CA

This group is designed to help you bloom. We’ll meet weekly on a conference call for 90 minutes, over the course of 6 weeks. There will be eight women who are willing to go deep personally, in service to doing what they say they want to do.

Eight women committed to planning and executing. In addition to the weekly coaching calls, there will be a private Facebook page for members to share wins and challenges, brainstorm strategies, offer insight, and hold themselves accountable. The calls will include interactive learning, one-on-one coaching, brainstorming and support.

The group is not a business mentorship program. I won’t be offering technical advice, or acting as a business consultant. It also isn’t the place for you to discover your Big Vision – the women in the group already know what their dream idea is, and are getting support on realizing it.

Amy’s coaching is a remarkable tapestry of courage, intuition and love. By minute 3, she had catalyzed a breakthrough for me, through her keen listening and bold questions. By minute 25, I’d experienced several powerful realizations and shifts, each effortlessly unfolded by Amy’s skillful coaching. In one session, I moved from “stuck” to “charging ahead” in a central aspect of my career. Give yourself the gift of working with Amy! – Tara Sophia Mohr, author and speaker, San Francisco, CA

This is the group for you if you are a creative soul, ready to unfurl into a bigger version of yourself by bringing your dream alive. Your more conventional label might be entrepreneur, executive, consultant, freelancer, or artist. You have clear ideas about what you want to put in action, yet are stuck or going slower than you’d like.

This group will be a great resource for those of you launching businesses, reconfiguring careers, and invigorating spiritual or creative pursuits. It’ll be amazing for those of you who are mid-stream in a project, and running out of steam.

As a coach I am bold – I call it like I see it. At the same time I gently and fiercely hold space for whatever you bring; I consider our sessions sacred and honor what rawness might be present just below the surface. You will be invited to dive deep. I’ll bring my spirituality, my intellectual curiosity, and my coaching toolkit, and the group will coalesce around common themes. This depth is what makes Burst Into Bloom different from other programs.

You ROCKED your listening, reflecting, gently but firmly pushing. You held a very strong container for us. You were 1000% present to us on the calls and very present in between, and I felt very capably led. Thank you! It was a gift to experience your leadership and brilliance! - Laura Neff, Life Leadership Coach

You’ll walk away with clarity and a renewed commitment to your project or plan, along with clear next steps to get you where you want to go. You’ll wake up feeling energized about your pursuit, rather than frustrated, guilty or defeated. You’ll bring a new sense of purpose to your seat at the computer, the meditation cushion, the easel, or the boardroom table. And the support structures you put in place during the group will help you maintain this once the 6 weeks are over.

Here’s the great part: even though you will receive life coaching that’s veeeery similar to what my private clients get, AND you’ll be getting exercises and assignments just like my private clients, AND you will have membership in a private online forum, the group rate is a fraction of my usual rate. Six 90 minute sessions, recordings of each call, and the private online forum all for $197. Yup.

Holding the space for people to exercise their big ideas was huge. I loved the probing questions that got me to the heart of my Why. I have already recommended this course to people! - Leslie Irish Evans, Langley, WA
