TESTIMONIALS

“I was impressed by Amy's performance when studying with her among a group of entrepreneurs and executives with different cultural backgrounds. She stand out by her integrity to fulfill commitments and capability of listening to others' concerns and assessments. She was bold - as she was committed to improve - to give honest feedback in time, and open-minded to embrace new ideas and insights. I witnessed her rapid progress in practicing leadership skills over the months, and enjoyed studying with her how to be more effective working in a small team.”

Phil Guo, Managing Partner, Asia Pacific, Human Factor International

“When I think of people who are authentic in their communications and dealings with others, I always think of Amy Castoro. And once you've met her, so will you. It has been my good fortune to witness multiple presentations Amy has offered as a coach, and each time, I am even more impressed. Her training and accomplishments are certainly extraordinary but still secondary to the quality of the insights she offers routinely. Amy is easily one of the most impressive presenters and speakers it has been my privilege to meet. The benefit of her experience and education are crystal clear in her bearing and she is a flawless communicator.”

Ed Han, Chair, Executive Committee at PSG of Mercer County

“Working with Amy helped me to establish stronger connection between my mind and body. In addition, I learned useful techniques on how to better connect with others and achieve a more powerful presence. After only a couple of working sessions, I was also able to reach a greater internal harmony, which led to a greater sense of self-comfort and authenticity. This unique experience has added significant value to my leadership profile and will positively impact my effectiveness leading organizations.”

Ricardo de Oliveira, Director R&D - Feminine Care at Energizer Personal Care

“As a person working in sales for over 20 years, I seek ways to improve and become stronger professionally. Working with Amy allowed me to identify barriers that I created which then interfere with building trust with others and being more of myself. By discovering more of who I am and what my needs are I became more effective in making requests of those closest to me. The result is not only stronger relationships but feeling more confident on taking new actions. I especially have problems asking others for help and support at a time when I need it most. Amy helped me understand that not only were my requests valid and valuable but by clearly stating them, others wanted to be there for me. I am finding that as I become more open and authentic my whole world is being reshaped and I open to the changes. Even welcoming them and envisioning the possibilities. Amy helped me affirm that people do value what I bring as a person whether it is personally or in business.”

Mary Nell Stapleton, Sales Representative at Henkel of America

“Amy worked with me on enhancing my presence over the phone. I was amazed at the insights she was able to offer - things I had not thought about before. She helped me to see things from the "receiver's" point of view and what it said about me. When all you have is your voice over the phone, it's really important to think about how it is perceived. She pointed out things I was doing that detracted from the confidence and credibility I wanted to build. Amy then pointed out things that I could do to change that. It really was eye-opening. What I most appreciate about Amy is that she is direct and to the point, but with a care for the individual. She is a straight talker - but with compassion. She'll tell you what you need to know, even though it might be hard to hear it - but you'll be the better for it!”

Deb St John, Client Services Group Director at Relationship Marketing (RMI)

“Amy led a Workshop for our group which was very well received by all participants. Her presentation was a great combination of lecture and role-play, in which helped each of us better understand how we present and perceive non-verbal communication. Her suggestions for participants were grounded in her experience and relevant to each of us. I would strongly recommend this program to other groups.”

Paul Grossmann, VP -Market Development at Franklin Productivity Alliance, LLC

“I met Amy through our mutual study together with the Strozzi Institute. What I immediately noticed about her was her intense commitment to deepening her awareness of self and others, and her incredible curiosity about how people can live most effectively in their hearts, minds and bodies. All of this translates into Amy being a consummate professional of the highest order in the field of coaching and human development. It is a real privilege to have Amy as a colleague in this profession and to use our relationship as a container for continuing mutual growth and exploration."

Barbara Poole, Partner and Executive Coach at Leading Deeply, LLC

“Amy has on numerous occasions provided very well done, professional and informative free sessions at various groups that I belong to. These groups include a wide variety of professional people in career transition and can often use tips, guidance and pointers to enhance their ability to present themselves in interviews. After Amy’s presentations, I and many others have commented on the knowledge we gained and our enjoyment of her interactive workshops. She truly gives back to the community and we could see her enthusiasm and love of the work she does. I would highly recommend her as a presenter and a “teacher of wisdom” in a very difficult job market. You could not go wrong in using her services."

Harry Anderson, Compliance Specialist at Johnson Controls

“I first met Amy at a Princeton Chamber of Commerce meeting and was facinated by her line of wrok. I invited her to speak at a continuing legal education program on the issue of understanding the messages we and others send by way of body language and other intangibles. She was delightful, knowledgable, approachable and succeeded in captivating a large group of lawyers (no mean feat!) I would recommend Amy without reservation!”
