Amie Rowe, PHD
I/O Psychologist
In terms of process, Amie believes in starting fast, digging deep and ending strong, so clients gain both immediate impact and long-term sustainability of enhanced leadership abilities and skillsets. She works to build trust and connection quickly and focuses on an individual’s most critical, high-value, and personally meaningful topics. By cultivating self-insight, she helps her clients think practically and strategically about their development. She is known as a leading expert in the use of personality assessments and has an affinity for gaining insight about individuals using multiple assessment tools. This enhances her understanding of the whole person, which grounds her approach to coaching. Utilizing an action/reflection cycle, she supports individuals acquiring and applying new behaviors in novel ways or situations. Then, she extracts maximum learning by facilitating reflection on the effectiveness of those actions, continuing to hone behaviors, and encouraging clients to stretch to the edge of their comfort zones.
Over her career, Dr. Rowe has held leadership positions within several large organizations, has served as a consultant for several management consulting firms, and successfully founded and managed her own independent practice. Her work spans multiple industries, with particular focus in healthcare, energy and utilities, consumer products, retail, financial services, non-profit organizations and state governments.
