Listen Later

“When we’re intentional about pursuing our dreams, that’s when we can see things more clearly. Because most of the time we get so busy in the everyday that we don’t take time for those things. And those things are not just going to happen, right?”

Amy Burton, a once-high school Spanish and theater teacher turned powerhouse speaker, is redefining the classroom experience for educators everywhere. Broadcasting from the chilly terrains of Alaska, Amy is here to offer her inspirational journey from the classroom to the stage. 

Having successfully transitioned from homeschooling her neurodivergent children to running not one, but two impactful businesses, Amy shares how her inherent love for those "aha moments" in teaching guided her to a career in speaking. In this episode, Amy dives into the nitty-gritty of translating her passion into practical impact, highlighting how she uses her expertise to coach educators on reducing stress and conflict in classrooms through understanding the brain's workings.

Join us as Amy talks about the challenges and triumphs of embracing one's gifts, the raw truth about pursuing something bigger than yourself despite the fears, and why starting small can be powerful. Whether you're curious about breaking into the speaking world or looking for inspiration to take the next step in your own journey, Amy’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance, intentional growth, and the courage to follow your passion. Tune in for practical insights, empowering moments, and a few chuckles as Amy shines a light on the path to pursuing your true calling!

You’ll learn:

  • Coaching techniques to improve classroom environments
  • Overcoming personal hurdles
  • How to diversify speaking opportunities
  • Utilizing virtual platforms due to geographic limitations
  • The importance of mentorship and guidance
  • About recognizing effort as a key driver of success
