Testimonials
Mike Melka, EVP Transformation, Avenu Insights and Analytics
I’ve worked with Amy in several roles now and she is the business partner I never knew I needed. She has an innate ability to unlock potential in both individuals and teams and leverages deep operational experience to harness that potential to ultimately drive growth across the organization. Amy is a true change agent with the exceptional talent of challenging outdated viewpoints and inspiring people to transcend their perceived limitations, including my own to which I am extremely grateful.
Pat Kelleher, Executive Director, USA Hockey
Amy’s coaching isn’t always easy—but it’s always effective. From our very first session, she identified key strategic gaps that hadn’t even been on my radar. Since then, she’s helped me refine board communication strategies, keep a pulse on our strategic vision, and strategically approach people and operational matters. Amy has fundamentally changed the way I lead, helping me see challenges from new perspectives and solve problems before they even arise. If you’re serious about growth, Amy is the person you want in your corner.
Jeremy Casanave, CEO & Founder, Prescient Technologies
In a word, Amy is spectacular! She has been coaching various members of my team and myself for over two years. I think one of the most common phrases I end up saying to her is, “I really wish I’d listened to you sooner.” followed closely by, “I never thought of that, thank you.” She has an uncanny ability to get straight to the issue and the expertise to coach you where you need to go, which is sometimes very different from where you thought you wanted to go. With the junior personnel she’s coached, I’ve seen huge increases in productivity, ability to think ahead, and maturity. I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. She is a true force multiplier within Prescient.
Kathy Nimmer, 2015 Indiana Teacher of the Year & Finalist for National Teacher of the Year
Creating a mentorship program for new teachers in the midst of a pandemic? Insane. I was pummeled by uncertainty as I tried to make
something from nothing, but with the professional and avid support of Amy Thaler who walked with me through the process, something quite magical took shape. Our weekly coaching sessions became points of hope as I wrestled, crashed, doubted, and ultimately began to make my way forward. I find it impossible to consider what this journey would have been like without Amy’s fierce belief helping me succeed.
Marta Marek, Health & Wellness Coach
Amy’s approach to executive coaching is both efficient and convenient for me. Our zoom meetings are focused and practical. She helps me to focus on the most important parts of my career path. When necessary, she slows me down. I initially did not understand the need for an executive coach but as I am getting older, I feel like ‘you do not know, until you know’. Amy gives me a different point of view on each meeting. With her help, I am able to recognize when I can improve myself. I found a balance between my future career, my health, and my home life. With Amy’s help, I feel more confident about my future and the decisions I am making right now toward it.
