Amy Quesenberry is a powerhouse on a mission to transform how we live and lead by mastering the most essential human skill: Compassion. With over 20 years of experience navigating the high-pressure world of global Organizational Development and People & Culture, Amy has seen firsthand that the greatest barrier to success isn’t a lack of strategy—it’s a lack of connection. Today, she travels the country delivering transformative talks that challenge audiences to silence their “inner judger” and embrace a new way of being.

As the creator of the Start With Compassion® framework, Amy provides more than just inspiration; she provides a roadmap. Her signature talks, including “The Power of Connection: A True Leadership Advantage,” teach audiences how to cultivate “grit and grace” by first showing themselves compassion and then extending that same humanity to those around them.

A true visionary and the driving force behind the Infuse Compassion Into Companies (ICIC) conference and the Infuse Compassion podcast, Amy’s energy is infectious. She bridges the gap between deep emotional intelligence and real-world performance, showing organizations and individuals alike that compassion is not a “soft skill”—it is the ultimate competitive advantage.

Whether she is addressing a corporate boardroom or a conference hall of thousands, Amy’s message is clear: Transformation begins within. When we choose to start with compassion, we don’t just change our workplaces—we change the world.
