Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Amy Lynn Durham. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Amy Lynn, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
As a former corporate executive in the retail industry who once managed a staff of over 400 employees while working for both private and publicly traded companies, I began to feel a sense of burnout and loneliness as my career progressed. I attribute it partially to the isolating nature of my executive role. To combat these feelings, I began incorporating human-centered activities into my leadership approach, which helped my teams connect on a more personal level. Simultaneously, I underwent a spiritual awakening in my personal life, which ultimately led me to leave the corporate world and re-enter the workforce as the “Corporate Mystic” behind “Create Magic at Work,” a venture aimed at fostering heart and human connection in the workplace.
Create Magic At Work® is dedicated to promoting human-centered workplaces and fostering a deeper understanding of humanity within everyone. While emotional intelligence has long been abuzz in the corporate world, Create Magic at Work® aims to take things a step further by encouraging leaders to access their spiritual intelligence (SQ) and become quantum leaders. These leaders can make wise and compassionate decisions that positively impact communities, the planet, and humanity.
The central theme of the company’s services is helping clients put their fear, ego, and defensiveness aside and instead operate from a place of inner wisdom, compassion, and love. By learning to differentiate between these two approaches and practicing operating from a place of inner wisdom more frequently, individuals can seek guidance from within when making decisions as leaders.
The company offers a wide range of products, services, and workshops designed to support this vision. Every person is a leader and has the potential to contribute to making magic at work. As such, Create Magic at Work® partners with both large corporations and small businesses to expand their knowledge of spiritual intelligence and elevate their leadership skills.
Create Magic at Work’s workshops are built around the company’s own products, and I also provide one-on-one, private coaching for clients who are looking to go through a transformative journey lasting three months, six months, or even a year. During this process, clients learn elevated leadership skill sets that help them experience inner and outer peace, even under the most stressful circumstances.
The benefits of operating from a place of wisdom and compassion in the workplace are clear. Leaders who prioritize kindness, compassion, and inner wisdom create a culture that is more productive, positive, and fulfilling for people. By contrast, leaders who fail to embrace these principles may find themselves unable to attract and retain top talent.
Amy Lynn, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
