Biography

With 75+ presentations per year, AmyK travels the globe sharing with executives, influencers and go-getters HOW to confidently & competently navigate their toughest conversations without saying something they regret, giving their power away or damaging their relationships, and HOW to stay powerful under pressure when their Ego wants to take over.

AmyK’s two signature keynotes, The Power of Profitable Conversations and Ignite Your Brilliance: The Leadership Advantage of Staying Powerful Under Pressure, give leaders practical tools to communicate more effectively, think more clearly and lead with greater presence, courage and impact.

In The Power of Profitable Conversations, AmyK shows leaders how to navigate high-stakes conversations without sacrificing candor, connection or their power. In Ignite Your Brilliance, she explores what happens when the Ego takes the wheel under pressure, and how shifting from Ego-led to Heart-lit allows leaders to access greater clarity, courage, creativity and choice when it matters most.

On stage, AmyK is captivating, humorous and highly relevant, combining provocative insights, engaging storytelling and practical tools audiences can use immediately—and long after the applause ends. Off stage, AmyK is for realz: approachable, down-to-earth and irreverent.

Fascinated by how the brain processes information and influences behavior, AmyK has spent more than two decades translating complex human dynamics into simple, profound tools that elevate critical thinking, problem-solving, engagement and leadership. Her work helps leaders recognize when their Ego is running the show and develop the presence to choose differently, so they can stay powerful, connected and fully themselves under pressure.

AmyK is the author of the Amazon #1 bestseller The Secrets Leaders Keep and her forthcoming book, Ignite Your Brilliance, is slated for 2028. She received her M.S. from Johns Hopkins University and has been featured by Bloomberg, USA Today, Inc., U.S. News & World Report, NBC and ABC for her commentary on business challenges and current events.

Ignite Your Brilliance: The Leadership Advantage of Staying Powerful Under Pressure

What happens when pressure causes even great leaders to slip into proving, pleasing, controlling, perfectionism, defensiveness, or fear? In this high-energy, highly practical keynote, Amazon #1 bestselling author and international award-winning speaker AmyK Hutchens reveals the hidden patterns that can quietly undermine trust, decision-making, influence, and team performance, and she shows leaders how to interrupt them.

It’s a keynote you can use in your next difficult conversation, decision, conflict, or high-pressure moment. Because when leaders ignite their own brilliance, they create the conditions for everyone around them to ignite theirs, and when people ignite their brilliance, organizations do too.
