May 2024 Luncheon [LS]

Amy Barg

Facing three big Ds (divorce, death of her parents, downsized from two jobs) jolted Amy into her journey of personal growth. Surviving what she “wouldn’t wish on her worst enemy” led her to where she is today—passionately speaking and training about the absolute importance and power of creating growth environments both personally and professionally. The principles of growth are the same in the plant world and the work world. Helping people grasp the importance of that simple truth is at the heart of what Amy desires. Applying it is what she delivers.

In addition to being a speaker, coach, and personal growth environment specialist, Amy is also a certified executive program member with Maxwell Leadership. She believes surprises are things we tend to remember, so here are a few surprises about Amy:

• In her first lead in a musical… she danced on a table.
• She gave birth to her first child… before she was 21.
• Her first time ziplining… happened at age 51.
• Oprah called her onto the stage at a taping of her show… because she was wearing green.

And… Amy believes we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.
