MY STORY
Who is Amy Berenson?
On a cold, rainy day in late November, the last employee walked out of the Boston-based tech start-up I was working in. I was now laying off the employees I had helped recruit and hire as HR Director. Things had gone south; little did I realize at the time that it would lead me to my True North.
Fast forward-–I knew I was qualified for many HR positions but not one of them interested me any longer. So I wrote a viscerally honest description of the aspects of the “perfect” job for me.
A few weeks later, a friend asked me three simple questions about my recent job.
What energized me? What did I miss the most? What was I most proud of?
I told him I had loved the times I helped employees discover their strengths, craft their successes, and take their best course of action. Turned out, this friend was a life coach (a profession I knew little about at the time), and he recommended I look into becoming a coach.
After researching, I chose to become certified by the Co-Active Training Institute, a highly respected coaching company. Through the process, I discovered that coaching is a solution to the kind of uncertainty many of us experienced in high school, college and beyond.–What is “it” I want to do with my life?
I am inspired to help people find their way and my life has never been the same. I knew I had found my “it.”
Oh, and that job description I’d written? It perfectly described the aspects of a life coach! Huh! I am grateful everyday I’ve found my calling and feel honored to help others find the same.
See below for the education and certifications I then pursued.

You go to work every day, earn a decent living, but the idea of doing it for the[…]

Where have all the people gone? or What is the Great Resignation all about? Employers take note.
The labor shortage has perplexed us all . . . we thought it was the big unemployment subsidies keeping people at home instead of going back to work. Then, in states which ended those subsidies, we expected a surge in employment. It didn’t happen. Now with everyone no longer receiving the subsidies, employment numbers are still flat. What happened? If it is indeed the time of “Great Resignations”, what is driving everyone to discard their[…]
