Hard Transitions
Are Rocket Fuel

If You Know What To Do With Them

Where are you right now?

You're building a portfolio career

You’re building plan B—or know you need to.

You've got 20 years of experience and six different things you're good at—but every time someone asks "what do you do?" you freeze. You need surgical precision on your offer and a room full of peers at your level.

You're ready to be a leading voice

For executives and organizations building visibility

You've built the track record. Now it's time to build the platform. Thought leadership, positioning, and visibility that puts you where you should have been years ago.

You’re in shark-infested water

For founders and executives facing existential stakes

Lawsuit. Board coup. Press exposé. Public pile-on. Your advisors want you to stay quiet and settle. You need someone who's been through the fire and will help you prevail—not just survive.

Meet Amy

I'm Not Teaching From the Stands.
I'm in the Arena With You.

Wall Street litigator. Raised $30M as a venture-backed founder. Hired gun to launch a new venture for a century-old luxury retail empire. Survived a federal investigation, rebuilt publicly, and turned crisis into clarity—more than once. Forbes columnist. iHeart podcast host. TEDx speaker. Sought-after strategic advisor and story architect to corporate leaders.

I'm not here to coach you through something I read about. I've done the hard thing, figured out what works, and now I'm in your corner. Whatever you're facing, there is a strategic path forward—and you don't have to find it alone.

The Approach

The RANE Framework™

Every canon event follows a pattern, and so does the path through it.
This is the four-phase methodology I've used to navigate career crisis, professional reinvention, and my own nearly impossible transitions—and the one I'll use to guide you through yours, from first response to full rebuild.

R

Research
Map the full situation. Risks, stakeholders, leverage points, and the moves no one's telling you about.

A

Architect
Design the strategy and the systems to support it. Every decision from here is intentional.

N

Narrative
Control the story before someone else does. Position it to open doors, not close them.

E

Execute
Deploy the plan. Track what's working and adjust in real time.

Day Zero Protocol

That moment when everything changes and inaction is the most dangerous choice. A clear protocol for the first 72 hours—designed to stabilize the situation and orient the next move.

Narrative Architecture

When it feels like one moment is about to define you, this is how you take control of the story—and turn it into the thing that opens doors.

Resilience Systems

You're tired of waiting for the next shoe to drop. This is how you build a foundation that holds—so you stop reacting and start owning what comes next.
