Amy is a joy to work with! We covered a lot of ground, beginning with my goal of launching a job search. Amy quickly pivoted when I unexpectedly received an offer from an organization that I had applied to months earlier. We dug deep on values, boundaries, and articulating my vision for success at work and in life. Amy is empathetic, flexible, attentive, organized, and all around awesome. I’m already plotting a few more sessions with her once I start my new role.

Working with Amy was extremely useful for me, both personally and professionally. Amy’s approach is a holistic one that spans the small and immediate to the broad and long term, which helped me to zoom in on specific career issues while challenging me to zoom out as well. Amy is a true empath who provided a safe space to work through a complex turning point in my career and ultimately gain clarity on critical decisions. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that next step, deeper insight into the self, new confidence, and a compassionate, skilled coaching professional.

Amy is willing to challenge my way of thinking in a constructive way that doesn’t come off as “you should do this” or “you should do that”. It has allowed me to shift how I perceive things and has allowed me to better understand my real situation, versus how I perceive my situation to be.

After spending 13 years in DC, I had reached an impasse in my personal and professional life in DC. I was stuck and needed help. Working with Amy helped me shift my perspective to provide much needed clarity and insight into myself.  Amy guided me through this tough process seamlessly and there is no doubt that I would be honored to work with her again.

Amy understood the challenges of working in the non-profit space. I found the holistic approach of work and personal life coaching very useful as the challenges were the same across both parts of my life and therefore the changes I worked toward applied in multiple situations.

Before my coaching sessions, I felt unmotivated and intimidated about my job search because I was struggling to envision my next steps. Amy helped me center myself and remember who I am and what I want to do in the world. Her sessions balanced big picture reflections with practical next steps and I especially appreciated the thoughtful follow-up resources she shared after each conversation. Before each session, Amy assigned perfectly-scaled “homework” assignments that fit well into my busy schedule and generated fruitful conversations during our sessions.  I now feel hopeful about my job prospects and I have a clear path forward to reach my goals!

It seems these days that “coaches” are cropping up everywhere. It’s hard to know whether someone knows what they are doing, has the right instincts and experience, and will jive well with your personality. I can say from experience that Amy Fisher Bruey checks the box on all those things and more. She is the real deal. I genuinely looked forward to every session we had, and I always, always walked away with something tangible and productive. Her affect is unwaveringly calming, even as she challenged me to think in new ways. Her ability to spot my opportunities for growth is remarkably keen. Her approach is organized, targeted, and encouraging without a whiff of inauthencity. And though digging into introspection and vulnerability isn’t always comfortable, she somehow made it fun too. After completing the initial stage of our work together, there was no debate whatsoever in my head about continuing to meet with Amy. I plan to keep her in my life as a valuable resource for as long as possible.
