Your Vision Was Working, Until It Wasn’t

by Carmen Ohling | Jan 26, 2026 | Uncategorized

In 2018, a business partner and I bootstrapped a ready-to-eat food company called Authentic Meals. We were scrappy. We bartered, leaned on our past skills, and made things work any way we could. We shared kitchen space, piggybacked on bigger companies’ deliveries, and teamed up with local gyms and wellness centers.

We had a clear vision.

We had a real mission.
And it drew people in, customers and team members alike.

Our setup was simple: delivery or pick-up only. My partner ran the kitchen. I handled the rest: sales, marketing, hiring, menu planning, nutrition, and order coordination.

If you’ve ever built a start-up, you know. It takes time. Energy. Passion. And when those run out, all that’s left is grit, and you use that.

Eventually, that grit got tested. My partner decided she was done. She wanted out. So I did what many driven people would do: I bought her out and kept going, even though I had no kitchen experience.

That meant going back into the red for a while so I could hire a kitchen manager, a delivery driver, and one more person to help package meals.

And here’s where it got interesting.

I posted the jobs. The responses came flooding in. One woman who applied said,

“I’ve been following your journey. I want to be part of this.”

She didn’t need to work. She wanted to. Because she believed in what we were building.

Our vision was working:

We are a real food meal prep company that strives to create healthier individuals, families, and communities.

Our mission was landing:

Making nourishing food accessible to everyone in our local community.

And our values? They were written down, printed in handbooks, and posted in our kitchen:

Deliver excellence
Collaborate and grow
Help build our community
Take care of ourselves and each other

After a few bumpy months, things started to flow. I even hired a food costing consultant to help set cost targets.

Then, our kitchen manager asked to meet with me. I felt the tension rising in my chest. We’d just found our rhythm. I didn’t want another bump in the road.

But when we sat down, she said something I’ll never forget:

“Carmen, I’m not sure why I’m here. You keep saying you don’t know how to do things, but you’re fully capable. And honestly? You’re not letting me do my job. You’re doing it for me.”

Oof. That hit hard.

I was working so hard to prove I could do it all, I forgot what I was actually here to do: lead.

We had the vision. We had the mission. People wanted to be part of something bigger. But I wasn’t modeling the very culture we claimed to care about.

I was leading from reactivity, not from a grounded, strategic, visionary place.

Sound familiar?

We see this often, even in the most successful companies we work with. Great values get written down, but not lived. The team feels it. The mission starts to fade. We start to over-focus on our own jobs and under-focus on our shared work and responsibility as a leader to model the values and be a bold, dynamic visionary.

After that conversation, the kitchen manager chose to leave. I supported her. I respected her honesty; in fact, I valued it because it forced me to pause and reflect.

Eventually, I decided to sell Authentic Meals was able to set my ego aside and see this experience not as a failure but a turning point in my own leadership.

So here’s our question for you today:

What are you and your leadership team modeling inside your organization?

If you’re feeling brave, share your thoughts in the comments or email me at hello@carmenohling.com.

That one answer might just lead you back to bold, clear, values-driven leadership where your mission is more than words. It’s alive.

What the 1988 U.S. Olympic Basketball Team Can Teach Us About Leadership

by Carmen Ohling | Jan 12, 2026 | Uncategorized

Going into the 1988 Summer Olympics, the USA men’s basketball team was a favorite. Winning a gold medal was almost a given, with the USA team winning the gold medal 9 out of the last 11 Olympics prior to it becoming an official Olympic sport in 1936.

The two gold medals they missed were in 1972, when they took silver. The loss to the Soviet Union in 1972 in Munich was widely disregarded because of the game’s controversial, botched ending. Then, in 1980, they didn’t enter due to the boycott, a political protest led by President Jimmy Carter, against the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan.

Source: nbahoopsonline.com

The 1988 USA Team consisted of collegiate stars who would go on to play in the NBA, including David Robinson, Danny Manning, Mitch Richmond, and Hersey Hawkins. With the weight of history firmly on their backs, the U.S. entered the 1988 Olympics looking to uphold those lofty standards.

Just four years earlier, in 1984, an American team featuring college legends like Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, and Chris Mullin had coasted to a gold medal. They won all eight of their games by double digits, crushing Spain 96–65 in the final. That win was bold, clear, and dominant. The kind of performance that made people believe U.S. basketball was untouchable.

Coming into 1988, expectations were sky-high. The thinking went: if we won with Jordan, Ewing, and Mullin just four years ago, surely, we can do it again with Robinson, Manning, and Richmond.

The formula hadn’t changed. Why should the outcome?

How many times have you heard this, or even said this, within your leadership team?

”We’ve always done it this way and produced results; let’s keep going.”

But basketball, like any high-level team endeavor, isn’t just about repeating a formula. It’s about reading the moment. It’s being committed to learning and growth, valuing varying perspectives. It’s about knowing that the world changes, that opponents grow stronger, that success yesterday doesn’t guarantee success tomorrow.

And that’s where the 1988 team may have misstepped.

They weren’t prepared for just how much international basketball had evolved. The global teams were no longer intimidated; they were inspired. They watched tape, practiced with precision, and came in ready to challenge everything the U.S. thought it could rely on: talent, legacy, and the name on the jersey.

Great teams talk openly with each other. They ask questions. They stay curious. They don’t always have to be right; they want to learn.

But the 1988 team may have been stuck in an old mindset: “We’re the U.S., of course, we’re going to win.” That’s a dangerous way to think, especially when the rest of the world is getting better and smarter.

Other countries were playing professional-level basketball. Teams like the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia weren’t afraid of the U.S. anymore. They communicated well. And when it came time to play, they didn’t back down.

This moment, the US 1988 loss to the Soviet Union, showed that talent alone isn’t enough.

Players have to know when to lead, when to listen, and when to change their game. A strong team isn’t just made of stars; it’s made of teammates who trust each other and talk honestly.

In the end, the bronze medal may have felt like a disappointment, but it actually changed everything. The loss in 1988 helped spark a major shift.

Four years later, in 1992, the U.S. decided to send its best professional players to the Olympics, and the result was the famous Dream Team, one of the greatest basketball teams ever assembled.

But without the lessons of 1988, without the realization that mindset, teamwork, and leadership matter, that never would have happened.

The 1988 Olympic team had talent. They had history. They had high expectations. But they didn’t have alignment. They didn’t have the curiosity, communication, and cohesion required to win, not just on paper, but in real time, against real challenges.

Sound familiar?

Many leadership teams today are facing the same pattern. Not on a basketball court, but in boardrooms, Zoom calls, planning meetings, and 1-1 meetings. Talent isn’t the issue.

Results might even be “fine.” But under the surface? Something’s off. And just like that, 1988 team, the cost of those invisible gaps is much higher than most people realize.

Here are five common missteps we see repeatedly in our work with leadership teams. These are the patterns that quietly erode trust, momentum, and real collaboration:

1. Avoiding conflict and not speaking with candor.

Instead of open, honest conversations, people say what’s safe. They filter. They agree. They leave things unsaid. They “stay in their lane.” It might feel polite, but it’s not powerful.

Great teams don’t avoid tension; they use it. They speak the truth in the service of growth, not to win points.

2. Clinging to being right instead of being open.

“We’ve always done it this way” is the corporate version of “We’re the U.S., of course we’re going to win.” It’s a mindset that blocks learning.

Real professionals are students of the moment. They ask: What’s changed? What do we need to see more clearly? What assumptions might be holding us back?

3. Operating in silos instead of as a unified team.

When everyone is just “staying in their lane,” it might feel efficient, but it kills true collaboration and creativity. Water cooler whispers replace real-time feedback. Innovation slows. Trust fades. Resilience drops.

Great teams aren’t a group of individuals; they are a network of aligned, connected leaders who share responsibility for outcomes.

4. Over-relying on top-down leadership.

When all the recognition, coaching, and feedback flow from the CEO or executive lead, it creates pressure at the top and passivity everywhere else. Peer-to-peer recognition isn’t a “nice to have,” it’s the heartbeat of a mature, agile team.

When teammates coach each other, celebrate each other, and challenge each other, the whole organization rises.

5. Unspoken social contracts.

Every team has a culture. But is it intentional? Or accidental? Too often, communication norms are fuzzy, feedback expectations are unclear, and agreements around “how we treat each other” live in the shadows.

Without clear social agreements, even smart teams slide into mediocrity, not intentionally, but out of habit.

Here’s the big ah-ha: most teams don’t even realize they’re underperforming.

They’ve gotten used to the water they’re swimming in. They confuse “we get along” with “we’re aligned.” They accept co-existence when they can have co-elevation.

And just like the team in 1988, the gap doesn’t show up until it really matters. In a milestone moment, a launch, a transition, a missed opportunity. The loss shows up first. The learning comes later.

But what if we didn’t wait for the loss?

What if we built teams where candor was normal, curiosity was expected, and collaboration was woven into the way we work, not just the way we talk?

What if our teams dared to move beyond comfort and into the kind of connection and challenge that leads to real, lasting wins?

Is it possible to feel content and ambitious?

by Carmen Ohling | Dec 18, 2025 | Uncategorized

You once wanted what you now have.

Take a breath and let that thought settle in.

Most days, we wake up and start moving before we’ve even checked in with ourselves. We’re already thinking about what’s next, what’s unfinished, what’s urgent, what’s missing.

But what if we paused before the day took over?

What if we asked ourselves one simple question that could shift our entire outlook?

Last week, I led an offsite with one our client. Their entire team was present. I introduced a daily practice that has shaped how I lead, how I live, and how I connect with others. It starts with a simple question:

“How do I want to feel today?”

I’ve asked myself this question for over a decade. It helps me stay grounded, not just in what I want to do, but in who I want to be.

Here was my answer that morning: Playful. Delighted. At ease + content. Engaged.

And then I wrote: “A shift from always pushing forward and pulling others uphill to experiencing and allowing the unfolding.”

That word, unfolding, has stayed with me.

Later that same morning, another question came: Is it possible to be ambitious and content at the same time? Does one steal from another?

Here’s what I believe: I believe it’s possible, but only if you’re grounded, clear, planned, focused, AND open and flexible on ONE THING.

What’s that ONE THING?

One big, bold goal.
One present moment.
One focus that matters.
One opportunity to pause, notice, and let life unfold.

At The Amplified Life Company, we use this question “How do I want to feel today?” to help teams build emotional intelligence.

When teams start asking this daily and openly sharing their answers, something powerful happens. People become more self-aware. They become better listeners. They speak more clearly and kindly. Trust grows.

This creates real shifts: better communication, smoother operations, and stronger outcomes.

You can’t grow a team that’s burned out or disconnected. But you can grow one that’s self-aware, emotionally present, and aligned.

And it starts with one question.

So here’s something to reflect on:

You once wanted what you now have. Have you moved the goalposts?

If you’re like me, the answer is probably yes. And that’s not a bad thing. Growth is good. Ambition is good.

But don’t forget to shift your energy. Move from pressure to presence. From striving to celebrating. From chasing to allowing.

Because in the unfolding, you may find the one thing we’re all searching for—but often call by other names like success or happiness.

You’ll find peace.

One way to support this shift is by writing it down. This journal helps you slow down, get clear, and set your intention each day. When you take just a few minutes to answer, “How do I want to feel today?” You create space for better focus, more calm, and stronger leadership.

The Clarity → Devotion → Discipline → Impact Framework Every Leader Needs

by Carmen Ohling | Dec 11, 2025 | Uncategorized

Read this quote and let it sink in for a moment, then keep reading:

“One of the most difficult problems in modern life: how to get everything done you need to do and still have time for creativity, family, and yourself.” – Gay Hendrick

Two weeks ago, I was sitting in church when the pastor asked, “What are you devoted to?”

He went on to say that devotion is a decision, but misdirected devotion is dangerous. He shared that devotion is shaped by vision. Vision anchors you. Then he reminded us of this scripture:

“Where there is no vision, the people perish…” – Proverbs 29:18

In other words, when people lack clarity of direction, they drift. And when there’s no shared vision, people lose discipline, unity, energy, and hope.

I looked around the church that day as the pastor spoke about the vision for the future:

2026: The Year of Devotion

You could feel it; people were leaning in, ready, hungry, fully receiving the message. It was delivered with purpose, power, and presence.

And when it ended?

People left inspired, curious, and wondering what devotion could look like in their own lives.

I concluded that many were left wondering what they needed to do in order to be devoted. Put plainly in my words, what disciplines would they need to build around what matters most?

People often tell me I’m one of the most disciplined people they know, and I agree.

I’ve heard it so often that I started studying the nature of discipline itself. That exploration became one of the foundational beliefs at The Amplified Life Company: Disciplines and systems are the key to the freedom you seek.

And yet, discipline still gets a bad rap.

Take a moment to consider your own deep beliefs around discipline. We admire discipline from afar. We envy the people who seem to “have it together.”

But when it comes to applying discipline in our own lives?

We often tell ourselves stories that let us off the hook.

How do I know this is true?

Because that was me, always letting myself off the hook.

For years, that was me, competing to win, yet quietly allowing myself to fall short. Settling for good but never truly touching great. I was the queen of planning, preparing, and color-coding it all. Then, as soon as discomfort hit, I would slip back into old habits, allowing my discipline to slip away.

It looked like I had it all together because I was still reaching goals. Yet, they were comfortable ones. The ones that didn’t ask much of me. It wasn’t because I was lazy. It was because I didn’t yet understand something important: discipline without devotion doesn’t last.

Maybe you can relate. Have you ever found yourself…

Talking yourself out of keeping your own commitments because you “don’t have time,” when what you’re really lacking is clarity?
Believing that discipline will suffocate your creativity or spontaneity, not realizing that structure is actually what gives freedom room to breathe?
Waiting for motivation to strike instead of designing systems that move you forward, no matter how you feel?

Here’s what I’ve come to realize:

Discipline alone is not enough. Devotion is what makes discipline sustainable.

Let’s be clear, devotion is not just a word for spiritual or religious practice. It’s the foundation of dynamic leadership.

Discipline is doing what you said you’d do. Devotion is remembering why it matters.

Discipline comes from the mind: it’s strategy, structure, systems. Devotion comes from the heart: its meaning, mission, vision.

Without devotion, discipline becomes dry, performative, or even punishing. But when you’re devoted to something greater than yourself, your purpose, your people, your vision, discipline becomes intentional action fueled by purpose. It becomes who you are, not just what you do.

This is Above the Line leadership.

It’s not about controlling every outcome. It’s about choosing from commitment, not from comfort. It’s about aligning your actions with what matters most, even when it’s inconvenient, unsexy, or requires you to outgrow your old identity.

You don’t need more willpower. You need more clarity.

You don’t need to be harder on yourself. You need to be more devoted to what truly matters.

Here’s the formula:

Clarity → Devotion → Discipline → Impact

This week, I challenge you to ask yourself and get clear on what matters most, what you are truly devoted to, and then build your disciplines around that:

Where am I confusing discipline with deprivation?
What am I truly devoted to in this season of my life and leadership?
What systems, habits, or boundaries would be easy to maintain if I were fueled by devotion instead of pressure?

The people you admire aren’t just more “disciplined” than you. They’re more devoted. To their purpose. To their principles. To the person they’re becoming.

And you can be, too. If this hit home today, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Have you ever felt resistance in your work?

by Carmen Ohling | Dec 4, 2025 | Uncategorized

Have you ever felt resistance in your work?

When everything feels like you’re pushing through. And then when you finally finish something, you know it’s not your best work, yet there’s no expansion, no innovation, no creativity left to give, so you settle.

Writing that feels revealing for me today.
Admitting that I’ve been settling for less than my best.

Welcome to my world for the past 58 days (and counting).

I love my work. Most days, it doesn’t feel like “work” as society describes it. It feels like purpose-driven, intentional action that empowers leaders to be their absolute best and push their edges.

I take complicated principles, theories, and scientific studies and simplify them.
I engage people in a way that’s approachable, fun, and charismatic.
I create relatable stories that compel others to take action in their life and leadership.
I help people recognize their gifts and greatness, and step into meaningful action from that place.
I lead a team of experts to use their gifts at the highest level to make a significant impact in the lives of others.

In the end, it’s all about raising the bar so freaking high while reaching down to lift others up. The ones who say, “Yes, I want to be the one.” Together, we’re creating a massive wave of kindness, curiosity, and compassion to access true peak performance.

I measure my personal work success by one key metric:

Am I doing work that I love, with people that I really like, who are also doing work they love, and together, are we making a significant impact on the lives of leaders?

Hands down, the answer is yes. Overwhelmingly, yes.

Later today, we’re meeting with a leadership team to prep and plan for an upcoming offsite. I know I’ll leave this meeting on a high, hitting our success metric yet again. I’m proud of this. Deeply appreciative of our team. So grateful for the opportunities we’ve been blessed with.

And yet in my individual work, I’ve been experiencing a deep resistance.

It’s not that I can’t do the work; it’s more that the work lacks resonance.

What is “resonance”?

If you’re unfamiliar with the term resonance, I describe it as being so immersed in something that you lose track of time. Your thoughts aren’t in the future or the past; you’re not even really thinking. You’re aligned. The work flows through you.

Research supports this.

In The Role of Resonance in Performance Excellence and Life Engagement, Doug Newburg and colleagues found that high-caliber performers repeatedly return to their “dream” (how they want to feel) and engage in preparation that aligns their internal self with the external environment. They label this cycle “resonance.”
Other recent studies show that resonant leadership, where leaders tune into their own emotions and those of their teams, significantly improves creative performance, trust, and job satisfaction.

Why “how you feel” matters for peak performance.

The science is clear: when individuals experience alignment between their values, emotional state, and context, the outcome isn’t just better performance, innovation, flow, and sustained impact.
One study of leadership in educational settings found that resonant leaders engage in mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and empathy, and these capacities shape culture, trust, and performance outcomes.

What this looked like for me.

Earlier this week I journaled about the past two months: when I was fully captive by resonance. The answers came quickly:

Speaking on stages. I spend hours preparing. But when go-time comes, I say a simple prayer: “Less of me and more of You.” I trust my prep and expertise will be met with spiritual guidance. And it flows.
Walking in South Beach. On average, three miles a day, but at least twice or three times a week it’s more like five or six miles. I walk because I want to, not because I have to. Moving my body, plus being in nature, empties my mind and fills my soul more than anything.
Getting lost in a book. I’ve always been a reader, growing up with 2-3 books at once. Today is no different. I love the feeling of dropping into a good story.
Experiencing something new, like a physical challenge or adventure. Creating new neural pathways in my brain and fully focusing on what is in front of me.

After writing this, it became very clear: the feelings tied to them were more important than the activities themselves. Wonder. Curiosity. Being unrushed. Connected. Novelty.

Feelings are my through-line for resonance.

I’ve had over three decades of results-only living and working. The feelings I listed are not new to me, they’re simply a reminder that without them, I cannot access resonance. I miss my flow. My focus is torn. But when I nurture them, the access to resonance is granted with ease.

As I’m writing this today, I can feel it a bit, the resonance. I’m not overthinking. I’m not allowing busywork to distract me. If the sentence stops, I pause. Breathe. Sip my decaf coffee. Watch the world around me.

Accepting what is.

After years of “pushing through,” I know that what I resist will persist, so it’s best to accept it and pause. There’s so much power in a pause.

And this afternoon, when I finally paused, the writing began to flow. I didn’t set out to write; I set out to be. To listen. To witness the world around me. To ask for guidance.

And there it is, plain and simple:

When you are white-knuckling and pushing through, take the time to stop. To breathe. To accept what is. To pause.

I’ll leave you with these three quotes to consider today and one question:

Where are you “pushing through” or white-knuckling in your life or your leadership?

Maybe it’s time to stop overthinking it all.

Maybe it’s time to uncover the feelings you feel when you’re accessing resonance.

Maybe it’s time for a pause.

“No word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.” — Mark Twain

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor Frankl

“Sometimes what you want is right in front of you. All you have to do is open your eyes and see it.” — Meg Cabot

Living the Mission: Why Vision Without Action Fails Teams And What We Do Instead

by Carmen Ohling | Nov 20, 2025 | Uncategorized

FACT: Leadership is exhausting when your people are disconnected from the bigger picture.

You’re running meetings, juggling goals, solving people’s problems, and somewhere in the middle of chaos, you find yourself asking:

Why does it feel like I care more than everyone else?
Why are we all busy and working so hard but going nowhere?
Why do my best team members keep quietly checking out, or worse, leaving?

Nine times out of ten, the answer isn’t lack of talent. It’s not even communication.
It’s a disconnection from meaningful work.

When vision becomes background noise, culture becomes guesswork, and team members no longer feel like they are contributing to something bigger than themselves. They lose value in their work, and it trickles down to losing value in themselves.

That’s why at The Amplified Life Company, our vision isn’t something we framed and forgot. It lives at the heart of how we lead, build, and serve.

Our Vision: To be the one who shows the world how truly great life can be.

Our Mission: To significantly improve the lives of over one million leaders by amplifying their gifts, voices, lives, and businesses through high-level collaboration, personal growth, and learning.

It sounds bold, and it is.

But bold doesn’t mean disconnected. Our team, clients, and partners know exactly what we’re building together and how they’re part of it.

Think about it, how many times have you been handed a company values poster, only to watch leadership ignore those values in every real decision that followed?

That disconnect costs companies more than just morale.

It costs trust. It costs retention. It costs momentum.

People don’t quit jobs.
They quit meaningless work.

They quit meetings that feel like reporting.
They quit leaders who preach one thing and model another.
They quit cultures where vision is only spoken once a year.

When Vision Dies, Culture Follows

We once coached a company with all the right ingredients: high revenue, world-class products, a solid team on paper. But under the surface? Toxic patterns. Reactive leadership. And an exodus of their most engaged team members.

Why?

They had no unifying purpose beyond hitting targets.

Their “vision” was mentioned once a year at the company retreat, printed in a glossy slide deck, and then never referenced again. In meetings, people defaulted to fear-based decisions. New hires were onboarded into roles, not into the vision. Communication lacked heart and purpose. People clocked in, clocked out.

We watched this company lose two of their highest-performing leaders when we first started working together.

They weren’t burned out from working hard.
They were burned out from working in a meaningless role, lacking trust and autonomy.

Embedding Vision Into the Everyday

At The Amplified Life Company, we never want to lose sight of the why. Here’s how we keep our vision visible and visceral, day after day:

1. Start Every Meeting with the Vision

Before we dive into numbers or agendas, we ground ourselves in the why. Someone shares a recent story a win, a moment of growth, a lesson that reflects our values in action. It reminds us of what we’re really building.

Example: On a Monday team call, one team member shared how they forgave a client who had been difficult and how that single act transformed the relationship. We didn’t just talk about “conflict resolution.” We talked about amplifying life through grace and leadership.

2. Celebrate What You Want to Cultivate

We highlight excellence, courage, consistency, and collaboration. When someone leads with integrity or rises to a challenge, we name it, not just for the task, but for how it reflects the mission.

Example: During a celebration moment, we didn’t just recognize a recent big keynote presentation. We honored the way that leader uplifted the client’s voice and brought others along with her, showing the ripple effect of aligned action.

3. Turn Lessons Into Legacy

Mistakes aren’t hidden here; they’re harvested. We talk about what we learned, how we grew, and how it connects back to the core of who we are.

Example: After an initiative underperformed, instead of blame, we got curious. What did this teach us about being overly attached to outcomes? Where did we abandon our collaborative instincts? That conversation led to one of our strongest creative pivots to date.

4. Onboard People Into a Movement, Not Just a Role

From day one, we make it clear: this isn’t just a job. You are joining a vision. You are here to be the one to show the world how great life can be, starting with your own.

Your People Want to Belong to a Bigger Story

Most employees don’t want more perks. They want more purpose.

They want to know that showing up with their full heart, even on hard days, matters. That being someone who forgives first, who shows up anyway, who keeps becoming, and those behaviors are seen, honored, and necessary.

When you embed your vision into every layer of your business, something shifts:

Decisions become easier.
Collaboration becomes richer.
Leaders rise from every level of the organization, not because they were told to, but because they’re called to.

Is Your Vision Just a Statement or a Standard?

Here’s the test:

Can every team member connect their role back to the bigger purpose?
Do you reference your vision in hard decisions, not just celebrations?
When someone joins your company, do they feel like they’ve stepped into a movement?

If the answer is no, it’s not too late to start.

Your Turn

You don’t need a million-dollar strategy.
You need a vision, a purpose that lives in your people.

Here’s your first step:

Ask your team:
“When have you felt most connected to our vision and purpose as an organization?”
Then pause. Listen. Really listen.

What you hear might be the start of a new chapter for you, for your culture, and for your leadership.

Want to be the one?

At The Amplified Life Company, we believe leadership is a calling. If you’re ready to join us in building something bold, intentional, and deeply human, comment and simply say:

“I am ready to be the one.”

And I will personally reach out to you to connect and learn more.

We see you. We’re with you. Let’s amplify together.
