About Amy Balog

Welcome to the Connextionpoint and thank you for visiting. I am a certified executive coach working with corporate clients since launching my practice in 2008. I draw from my own experiences as a corporate leader and from almost two decades engaged with a talented client roster across seven industries working with C-Suite to front line leaders. Many of my clients are taking on their largest and most challenging role yet, navigating competing and complex demands, and juggling a full and busy personal life. They face the task of scaling their leadership and engaging their teams through unrelenting change. Is this you?
If so, I am here for you. You are in a leadership career and that means you are never done growing or learning. It means you need a safe, non-judgmental ear as a powerful thinking partner who supports and challenges you to be the best and healthiest you to meet unending demands. It means you are the one cultivating an environment where others can thrive and create their future. It means you may feel lonely at times with the weight of the world on your shoulders. My passion is to meet my clients where they are and help the go where they didn't believe was possible. This website is in an active build process so it will be updated with more content soon!

What the coaching experience brings

Confidentiality
The Safe Sounding Board
It is important you are free to express your real thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental space to be heard and understood. It is about having a safe sounding board to process, vent, reframe - and find options. This is rooting through the messy side of leadership shared with a outside objective ear who hears you while encouraging and challenging you.
Clarity
The Deeper and Wider Picture
It is easy to become caught up in the noise in your own thinking and the noise around you. The coach experience is designed to help you cut through the noise and find clarity with better context and better choices. Clarity comes through the powerful combination of feedback, behavioral tools, and high quality dialogue with in a regular cadence. Clarity takes time to build yet real growth depends on clarity.
Centered
Leading from Your Center
In high demand roles there is a danger of the job defining you. When you lead from your center not your circumstances, you shape the job while recognizing the leadership realities surrounding the role. You keep a true plum line back to the best of you and aim to serve others from what you trust in yourself is good true, and sustaining. Your center is where you make peace with yourself regardless of the ups & downs and wins & losses.

Words from clients

Amy is very patient, and works diligently to get to the core of who you are, not only as a leader, but as a person. Amy helped me understand what truly motivated me at my core. She is not focused on a corporate agenda, she wants to help you become the best possible version of yourself. I am still learning lessons from her even though we haven't worked together for a couple of years. For me, that is the sign of true learning.

Vice President, Media Tech
When I first started working with Amy I thought I had a clear understanding of what motivates me and how I can help others grow; however, Amy helped me realize some sizable areas for me to work on that I was blind to. Amy also helped me better understand how to walk to the other side of the bridge to help others in their understanding of business challenges within their context.

Senior Director, Strategy Consulting
I recommend anyone who is ready to take a thoughtful reflection and inventory of their own talent identity and leadership journey. Amy is phenomenal at helping you to reflect, evaluate and bring about change in your own life and leadership style. More importantly her skills and techniques translate over to your professional and personal life, giving you a comprehensive understanding of where your strengths lie and where you can improve. Amy started out as my executive coach but she has become one of my most valuable and trusted leadership and business advisors.
