“AmyK is a one-of-a-kind speaker and she was the highest rated speaker of our entire conference! Her “Ignite Brilliance in Your Innovation” session at our supply chain conference was exhilarating, refreshing and most of all, thought provoking. AmyK asked provocative questions to spark creative problem solving, she shared the differences between creativity and innovation and showed how smart leaders can create systems to improve individual and company performance. It was an eye-opening experience to learn how all of us can tap into more creative and innovative thinking and behaviors. If you are looking to add tremendous value to your team or to an event, engaging AmyK is a sure win!”

“Webster Orthopedic’s work with AmyK has added a level of teamwork, communication, unity and confidence never before experienced within the Webster Management Team. These skills have allowed us to improve operational systems (brought in a backlog of $800K in revenue and ensured that the improved process was maintained for nearly 8-months now); improve customer service scores by working collaboratively to solve patient barriers (scores increased 78% on average by department); bring in the build-out and opening of a new 12,000 sqft facility with expanded services both on-time and under budget. Many of the Managers shared how the skills they have learned working with AmyK have also allowed them to do internal work that has improved their personal lives. AmyK, your work is inspiring! You do make a difference.”

“AmyK is not so much a speaker as an agent of change! She captures your attention from the moment she starts to speak, and keeps everyone engaged throughout her session. She is high energy, and her perspectives are very thought provoking. She shares experiences and perspectives, and then helps everyone learn from experiential exercises mixed throughout her session. She received the highest scores of any of our speakers! Everyone left feeling like they got actionable tools they can use immediately. She actually helped our people learn how to be creative problem solvers again! We are already using some of her terms and perspectives in meetings, and I am convinced that this one session will have a lasting impact on the company through the people who attended her session.”

“We had the distinct pleasure of having AmyK Hutchens participate in the FBA 2nd Annual Women in Banking Conference and make a fantastic presentation to the Florida women executive attendees. She did an excellent job and had everyone’s rapt attention throughout her presentation. She received the highest rating on the evaluations of all the speakers. I highly recommend AmyK to any meeting planner who wants to give their audience a high quality, professional presentation with tangible and useful ideas to take away and use in their offices the next day.”

“AmyK Hutchens is one of the stand-out speakers of my 16 year Vistage career. She engaged everyone in the room, involved members experientially, and gave us tools to use as a group that will maximize our time together and enhance and expedite the processing of issues. If members implement just one of the many tools AmyK taught us during her three-hour presentation, their meetings will be more productive and their teams will be empowered, thereby, getting better results. Our members will be well-served by what they took away from our time together - as am I.”

“Since I first heard AmyK speak, we have seen our sales increase each month to an overall improvement of 34.5%. The amazing part is not only the increase in new business but the retention for existing advertisers. Every one of our program advertisers has renewed and in many cases increased the business they are doing with us. AmyK’s ability to help us recognize the underlying needs of our client, and not just the surface need, has been a powerful tool for our company growth.”

“During our AmyK innovation training we learned how to better utilize and unleash our creativity to solve problems. Too often we get stuck following the tried and true methods of our daily routines. AmyK shared practical tools and methodologies for getting out of our ruts, expanding our critical thinking and enhancing our problem solving abilities, both individually and as groups. The most valuable tool of the day, for me was the “Lightning Round” which in a matter of minutes helps unlock the deeper, more insightful questions needed to innovate, and I still use this tool regularly today.”
