Your Guide to Developing
Better Leaders
A business doesn’t achieve results; its people do. And people achieve greater results when they are engaged, energized, fulfilled and treated like people rather than instruments, machines or tools for the job. An educator at heart, Amber develops leaders and equips them with the skills, knowledge, and abilities they need to be effective at leading people.

The StartHuman Approach
There’s no one-size-fits-all program or process that works for everyone. We take the time to truly listen and understand your unique needs. We want to learn about what you’re working on, what you’ve already done, and what types of roadblocks we’ll encounter. From there, we’ll work together to develop a strategy that will get you to your desired outcome.
Customized
Our goal is that you develop the skills and confidence you need to be completely self-led. Through working with us, you will develop self-reliance and trust in yourself. We want you to realize your own power and gain the confidence you need to go forth.
Empowering
We focus on the whole human. For us, no topic is off-limits. When a one-on-one client brings up a personal issue, we lean in. When we work with a leadership team, we make sure everyone’s involved. In order to create true change that lasts, we need to consider every influencing force. The skills we teach are not just for the workplace either. Our clients frequently experience improvements in their personal lives when they implement what they’ve learned with us.
Holistic
Quick fixes might feel good in the moment but they don’t last. Part of doing this work is creating sustainable change. Leadership development needs to be more than the flavor of the month, or what’s trending. It’s need to be designed for human beings and based in evidence based approaches.
Sustainable
StartHuman has helped thousands of leaders develop the skills and abilities they need to help people thrive at work
(and beyond!)
