If an audience came to see me, they would experience an engaging, high-energy presentation that blends inspiration with actionable leadership strategies. I bring a dynamic presence, weaving powerful personal stories with research-backed insights to captivate audiences and leave them with tangible takeaways they can immediately apply.

Whether speaking to corporate leaders, emerging managers, or teams striving for growth, I create an interactive experience that fosters connection, reflection, and motivation.

If a client hired me, they would receive a customized keynote or training session tailored to their organization's needs. My expertise centers on authentic leadership, resilience, emotional intelligence, and personal growth, helping teams and leaders unlock their full potential. I ensure every event is not just a speech, but a transformational experience—one that sparks meaningful conversations, inspires action, and drives long-term change.

In addition to leadership development, I also work with sales and business development teams, helping them refine communication skills, build stronger client relationships, and enhance their performance through a people-centered approach. As a partner of Everything DiSC and The Five Behaviors, I am able to integrate these powerful frameworks into my training and speaking engagements, if desired, equipping teams with proven strategies to improve collaboration, trust, and overall effectiveness.

Clients can expect:
- A thought-provoking, story-driven approach that resonates on a deep level.
- Engaging, interactive elements that keep audiences involved and energized.
- Tangible, real-world strategies to apply immediately for leadership, sales, and team growth.
- A highly adaptable and tailored experience, ensuring alignment with the organization’s vision and challenges.
- A professional, seamless experience from booking to delivery.

Ultimately, my goal is to empower leaders, teams, and professionals across your organization with the tools they need to grow, lead with impact, and create lasting success.

Amy Pechacek is an international speaker, leadership expert, and the founder of Alpstra Training Solutions, a corporate training company dedicated to helping leaders and teams cultivate resilience, emotional intelligence, and authentic leadership. With a background in education and corporate leadership, Amy’s career has been defined by a passion for empowering individuals to break through limitations and step into their full potential.

Her leadership journey began in the classroom, where she honed her ability to inspire and educate. However, she soon felt called to make a broader impact and transitioned into corporate leadership. Working closely with sales and leadership development teams, she quickly recognized a recurring barrier to success—fear. Fear of failure, fear of change, and fear of stepping into leadership roles often kept individuals from reaching their goals.

Amy’s own story is one of profound resilience. She endured the unimaginable loss of her husband to suicide, an experience that tested her strength and reshaped her perspective on leadership and personal growth. Rather than allowing adversity to define her, she chose to use it as a foundation for transformation. She learned firsthand that resilience is not just about surviving challenges but about using them as fuel for growth.

Amy’s leadership philosophy is deeply rooted in personal transformation. She believes that professional success is a direct result of personal growth—when leaders prioritize self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and alignment with their values, they naturally elevate their teams and organizations. Her work with emerging leaders, corporate executives, and blue-collar professionals has equipped individuals with the tools to lead authentically, navigate challenges with confidence, and create a culture of engagement and high performance.

Her unique approach blends faith-based values with practical leadership strategies, helping leaders integrate integrity, purpose, and resilience into their decision-making. She has worked with organizations across industries to develop leaders who are not only effective but also deeply connected to their teams.

Through her keynote speaking, corporate training programs, and executive coaching, Amy challenges leaders to break through old mindsets, embrace change, and build high-performing teams. Her message resonates with those seeking to align personal fulfillment with professional excellence, and she is passionate about helping leaders create lasting impact in both their careers and lives.

A native of Louisiana, Amy now resides in East Texas with her family. She is the proud mother of two adult children, Nick and Erin, wife to Larry, and GiGi to Raynie Lynn.

I strive to make the event planning process as smooth as possible and can adapt to the A/V setup available at the venue. For larger audiences, I typically require a microphone (preferably a wireless lavalier) to ensure clear audio. For smaller groups, I can project my voice effectively without one.

If slides or visuals are part of the presentation, a projector or large screen is helpful, along with a reliable sound system if audio elements are included. Staging can be flexible—I’m comfortable on a large stage, in a conference room, or in a more intimate setting. While good lighting enhances audience engagement, I can easily adapt to what’s available.

If specific equipment is needed based on the venue or audience size, I’m happy to coordinate with your team in advance to ensure a seamless experience. My goal is to deliver a high-impact presentation with minimal technical concerns for you.
