What if the key to unlocking your next level of success isn’t about working harder, but about understanding the invisible habits of thought that are running the show?

Guest Bio:
Amy Kemp is the owner and CEO of Amy Kemp, Inc. In her work within this growing company, Amy helps leaders and business professionals understand how deeply “thought habits” impact every part of their work and lives.
As a certified Habit Finder coach, Amy has led over 400 female business leaders through a four-month small group engagement called Encounter. This experience is designed to help clients replace subconscious thought habits that are no longer serving them with more healthy ones. She has worked through the Habit Finder curriculum with hundreds of leaders in one-on-one settings and with leadership teams at small and large companies.
In addition, Amy teaches two engaging online courses each year in the fall and spring that are designed to challenge and expand her clients’ understanding of themselves and to welcome new, curious people into the scope of her work. Some of the most popular topics in her library of offerings are “Money Is a Mirror” and “A Boundary Is Not a Wall.”
Finally, with the launch of her first book, I See You: A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More, and Be More – Without More Work, on February 29, 2024, Amy has created an opportunity for everyone to learn and engage with her and the principles that guide her coaching.

Insight Gold Timestamps:
03:47 Nobody in here is smarter than anyone else
07:24 Your work really revolves around the idea fundamentally that thought creates habit, and habit creates results
09:30 We’re hardwired to survive
10:35 In the title of your book, I See You, A Guide for Women to Make More, Have More and Be More…Without More Work
12:04 The core message of the book is that you can’t outwork your thought habits
12:51 Women generally still carry the absolute majority weight of the unpaid labor in our world
14:40 If in fact you’re choosing to do the unpaid labor…
16:40 I think families are businesses
18:50 There has to be an intentional division of that labor that isn’t just falling on one person
21:23 Your work with the Habit Finder Assessment is really the cornerstone of your coaching
23:25 Everyone has a wall when you first encounter them
24:50 You need to have more guilt free play
27:11 That’s the kind of energy that grows a business or that grows your leadership
31:20 If you want to sustain any kind of discipline in that way, it has to be connected to a deeper value or a deeper purpose
31:35 Playtime is an investment in growing my income and impact and influence
32:17 The world has a lot of external noise around what is success. For me, there’s three pillars
33:15 Eventually, when you resist structure for long enough in those areas, structure imposes itself upon you
34:28 It’s about knowing what you want to create, and then being intentional about creating it
37:31 You have to define what’s success to you, none of it is going with you
38:19 I would pay attention to the opportunity for personal or professional growth that’s right in front of you
