Amy Yip
ICF PCC
MD, USI work w/women of color to strengthen their mental fitness, find their voice and the courage to speak up, and have agency to let go of the shoulds so they can be the authors of their own life stories
Amy Yip is a Somatic Life Transformation and Mental Fitness coach, keynote speaker, self-confidence trainer, and the author of Unfinished Business: Breaking Down the Great Wall Between Adult Child and Immigrant Parents.
She works with women of color to strengthen their mental fitness, heal their intergenerational wounds, and have agency to let go of all the ‘shoulds’ so that they can be the authors of their own life stories. Her mission is to empower AAPI women to be seen, to be heard, and to f-ing rock the boat.
In January 2020, after 16+ years of building and leading global teams in organizations including Google, Clorox, and Booz Allen, Amy left the corporate world, sold everything, and took a one-way flight to Ghana with her husband to volunteer at a breast cancer nonprofit and travel the world. COVID-19 shifted their plans; they got stuck in Ghana for seven months.
One of Amy’s greatest learnings is this:
Your mindset, not your circumstances, makes all the difference in your happiness and success.
Through this lens, she works with organizational leaders, including corporate executives, nonprofits, and social entrepreneurs, to find their voice and the courage to speak up, build self-confidence, navigate change, and discover what they really want next in their lives and careers.
Amy is an International Coach Federation Professional Certified Coach, a Certified Hudson Institute Coach, a Certified Strozzi Institute Somatic Coach, and a pioneer Mental Fitness Coach certified through Positive Intelligence.
Amy received her MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management, and her BS in computer science and BA in communications from the University of Maryland.
