The Coaches
Amy Riley
Tiara Program Coach
Amy is passionate about people leveraging their strengths and reaching their full potential – in all areas of life. With her acknowledging and empathetic approach, she creates the space in which her clients can speak to and be with “all of it” – the disappointments and the inspiring achievements. She ensures that her clients recognize and appreciate their inherent talents and learn what is most relevant from their life experiences. Guiding them through cycles of action and reflection, her clients think about what really matters to them, get in touch with their dreams, and get that they can design a life which inspires them by doing it their unique way.
Amy is a skilled professional in the disciplines of coaching, execution, planning, training, and facilitation in organizations. She has provided this expertise to organizations in a variety of industries including Albany Park Community Center, BP/Amoco, Clearbrook, Hewitt Associates, Hendrickson, Landauer, Oxford Bank, TranzAct Technologies, and Protected Tomorrows.
Amy earned a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and a Master’s Degree in Training and Development, with an emphasis in Organization Development, from Loyola University in Chicago. She is certified as a Best Year Yet® Program Leader, a Best Year Yet® Coach, a DDI (Development Dimensions International) Facilitator, and as a Certified Professional Behavior Analyst (CPBA) – qualifying her to administer the DISC Personal Profile Tool.
Amy is the founder of Shoop Consulting Group, Inc. and is in the process of authoring a book entitled Loving the Pregnant You. Inspired by women who take on powerful and empowering perspectives during pregnancy and childbirth, she is interviewing women and telling their stories through her blog and book.
