Tired of small talk that goes nowhere? Or worse, like everyone else got the manual on “how to network” and you’re stuck faking it?

Let’s fix it, together.

I’m Amy, and for more than 20 years, I’ve built a career (and three companies) on doing things differently. I’ve connected with millions of people—on stages, in boardrooms, across oceans, and yes, in those awkward name-tagged conference rooms—to help them turn conversations into career moves.

As the CEO of Last Night’s Game and Cultivate A Network Of Champions, Chair Emeritus of IrishAngels, corporate executive, and adjunct professor, I’ve shown up in a lot of rooms where I didn’t look or sound like everyone else, and still owned the space.

The secret? A Network of Champions.

The kind built on real talk, curiosity, and showing up as yourself, not a walking elevator pitch. Small talk done right isn’t small at all. It’s your starting line.

My work has reached over six million people in the last seven years. But it always starts the same way: one genuine conversation.

Hi, I'm Amy.

Building a network of

CHAMPIONS

with

CONFIDENT CONNECTIONS

that create a

COMPETITIVE EDGE.

Amy is the connector of all connectors. She showed me how to network in my late 20s and has greatly impacted my life and career.

Amy's networking tips are invaluable! She turns awkward situations into enjoyable connections, helping me feel confident in achieving my event goals. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to boost their networking skills!

I always thought networking meant handing out business cards and pretended to be interested in stuff I wasn't. Amy flipped that idea on it's head. I left with a plan. it felt natural-like I was just being myself, but with purpose.

“WHAT makes you DIFFERENT is what makes you UNFORGETTABLE.”

I’ve spent years navigating rooms where I didn’t feel like I belonged, whether it was classrooms, boardrooms, or moving to countries I’d never been to. I know what it feels like to walk into a room and not know a soul. I also know the power of saying yes anyway. Those yeses, big and small, are what shaped me. They helped me build three businesses, speak on stages I once felt intimidated by, and create a network of champions who continue to change my life.

I created the "Networking Is a Piece of Cake" framework because I believe connection shouldn’t feel like a chore or a performance. It should feel like you: curious, confident, and completely capable. Whether I’m delivering a keynote, leading a workshop, or emceeing your event, I’m here to help people leverage what makes them unique and use it to spark connections—because champions build champions, and it all starts with a spark.
