- From a Manager of Architecture: "Recently I had a major career decision that would definitely impact the direction my career would be heading and the lifestyle I would live relating to it. I had been debating the idea in my head and went over many choices with good friends and family, but needed advice from someone who knew the profession, and knew what I was looking for. I needed someone from the outside that could help lead me in the right direction. From past conversations, I knew Amy had given others in our profession solid advice and that she understood the architecture/design profession. Amy asked questions that helped me to understand what I wanted and what I was looking for. She was also careful not to influence me, but listen to what I had to say and helped me to clarify my thoughts. The next day, confident that I had made the right decision, and smiling on the inside, I presented my conclusion to the powers that be within my company. Now almost three months later I am equally satisfied with the decision I made and with my life. The road of life leads us all in many different directions and sometimes we need someone to help us understand the map and just where the different paths may lead."
- From a Senior Project Manager: "Amy is an exceptionally intelligent individual with compassionate and caring ways. There have been many times that Amy has helped me over the years with her insightful counsel. She truly listens, which at times is all we really want. Then again, there are times where intuitively, Amy seems to know to dig deeper. Amy works with you, using her wealth of experience, her spot-on intuition, and her zeal for life to help you achieve your goals. Amy has helped me grow personally as well as professionally for which I will be eternally grateful. I consider her a coach, as well as a mentor, but mostly a friend. What more can you call someone who helps you in all aspects of your life?"
- From Dr. David Krueger, CEO Mentor Path: "I have had the privilege of collaborating with Amy Ramaker in her work as a Professional Coach. I have observed her in coaching roles with varied clients, ans as she evaluated and guided other coaches in their work. Amy brings considerable ability and background to the Professional Coaching field. Her expertise and experience as a business owner, in corporate positions and in architecture/design uniquely positioned her to become a Professional Coach. Her powerful engagement with people synthesizes and applies the substantial experience and training she has had. I unequivocally recommend Amy as a highly accomplished professional."
