Amy Birks

When you’re too close to the problem, you can’t see the potential.

Did you know...? Poor execution of strategy costs mid-market businesses between $1M and $5M a year.

And $8.8 TRILLION is what disengagement, wasted effort, and misaligned teams has cost companies, globally.

(🤔 I wonder how much of that can be attributed to your company’s P&L?)

➡️ WHERE I COME IN:

As a Strategic Advisor and EQ-Driven Coach, I bring the outside perspective leaders need to help them turn friction into fuel—so teams execute more clearly, powerfully, and profitably. We work together to uncover blindspots, opportunities, and leverage your hidden edge: your company’s humanity.

My mission?

💫 Reveal and resolve blind spots
📈 Drive peak performance
🌟 Unlock hidden potential in humans + systems

➡️ HOW I HELP:

With 12 years as a coach and strategic facilitator—and 10 years in corporate finance—I bridge the visible and invisible, the tactical and emotional, the strategic and human.

And as COO of Iron Advocate Mindset, I’ve consulted on projects to help orgs like Xerox, the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, and the PA Turnpike Commission transform how they lead and perform.

My approach centers on:

🧠 Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
💡 Strategic Alignment & Optimization
🌀 Human-Centered Transformation

➡️ WHY IT WORKS:

In fast-paced, high-growth environments, leaders and teams need a view from 50,000 feet that points the way towards better alignment, execution, and leadership. That’s what I help unlock.

My method and outside perspective turns complexity into clarity, resistance into results, and potential into performance.

➡️ SERVICES I PROVIDE:

- Assessments that Reveal Blindspots and Hidden Potential
- Strategic Offsites, Facilitations + Leadership Alignment
- Executive Coaching for Peak Performance
- EQ Trainings That Actually Change Behavior
- Transformational Workshops (Virtual + IRL)
- Keynotes That Shift Thinking + Results
