Dream. Plan. Do.

Live YOUR Life!

As an ICF certified life coach and a seasoned leadership advisor with over 20 years of experiences in tech (TikTok, Google, Cisco, Intel), I have firsthand experience advancing from individual contributor to first-line manager to senior leader. I bring all my expertise to my 1:1 personalized coaching for mid-career professionals, focusing on gaining lasting clarity and confidence as they build a path towards a more fulfilling career and life.

With a proven track record of guiding individuals from diverse backgrounds, I provide a combination of practical tools, mindset exercises, and actionable strategies to help my clients define their own version of success, and gain skills to achieve lasting progress in their careers.

Warm Welcome!

I am Amy Chou. I have been coaching and mentoring individuals throughout my 20+ years in the tech industry as a peer, a manager, and a senior leader. I am excited to dedicate myself full time to coaching starting in 2024.

I am a woman of color. I am a mother of 2 girls. I am a wife. I am an immigrant. I was a senior leader in prominent tech companies, and I am now a solopreneur. These distinct identities all contribute to who I am, what I value, and how I show up as a coach and human.

Personalized 1:1 Coaching

I focus on creating a judgment-free safe space for private 1:1 coaching sessions that allow us to fully design our engagement based on YOUR goals and needs including:

  • Defining what career success means to YOU, and designing an action plan to accelerate your progress.

  • Building confidence and advocating for yourself to gain the recognition and promotions you deserve.

  • Building personal brand, and improving communication with manager & stakeholders.

  • Recruiting a 'village' of supporters (mentor, sponsor, champions..) who can speak up and advocate FOR you.

What My Clients Say..

"The coaching session with you was enlightening, uplifting, and empowering. Thank you for helping me see my own strengths and potential! Because of you, I went into my job interview today and rocked it! You helped me feel more confident in my skills and career decisions- thank you so much, Amy.... it was so empowering and life changing for my life. Being a first generation professional in a corporate setting is difficult- thank you for helping me realize and see the difference between “surviving” and “thriving.” With your help, I realized that I was merely “surviving,” and now I am going to work towards “thriving” in life." - BW

"It was really apparent you have a lot of wonderful experience to share from that definitely benefited me and thank you for how you were so present and engaged with me!... I am so thankful for having gained new insight around how to tap into greater motivation and confidence to achieve goals, how to work on more clearly articulating what I want and am trying to do, and how to better build a timeline as part of my plan! " - EM

"Thank you for asking such good questions in our session yesterday... It helped me see my challenges from a whole new angle to find new ways to overcome them." - ZM

"Our sessions were very helpful. It gave me the confidence to reach out to people again and to be more mindful of how I maintain those relationships. I have made a goal of reaching out to one person a day over the next week for informational interviews." - NB

"This was my very first coaching session during this stage of my career (mid-point) and I don’t know if it was supposed to be as smooth and effortless as it was because I am supposed to feel lost and do not. I feel more confident with a sense of direction. Not lost anymore for the moment. Most importantly, you followed up at the end of our meeting and asked what you gained from this meeting and what action items you are going to do as a result." - RAP
