AMY LAFKO KEYNOTES

The Customer First Paradigm is broken. It's time to put your People First.

Amy shows business leaders and owners how to break free from the broken Customer First Paradigm and shift to a People First Paradigm to accelerate the growth of their organizations.

By focusing on a business’ most valuable asset – their people – leaders unlock hidden potential and expose blindspots to build highly accountable and engaged teams who can do their best work, increase customer satisfaction and free themselves from daily fire drills that cost time, money, and morale.

In her keynotes, Amy delivers a-ha moments and framework to implement real change that transform the way leaders see the connection between people and performance. While laughter and inspiration are the method, the goal is actionable information that the audience can use right away.
