Welcome to Leading from Light!
My name is Amy Eaton and I’m so honored you are here.
I have worked as an internal consultant in large organizations for many years. I have a huge heart for individuals in ministry and non-profits, and realize they often don’t have access to professional consulting services or guidance because of limited budgets. While I write content for general readers, my heart always first has people in mind who might not otherwise have access to coaching or consultant guidance. My identity is rooted in my faith, and so you’ll notice I often include a faith-based perspective.
Whoever you are, my hope is you’ll find encouragement, and value in the professional and personal development content shared here.
You are where you are on purpose and for a purpose. May you not simply survive, but thrive!
Why “leading from light”?
Everyday, we have the opportunity to be leaders in the spaces where we connect with others. In our workplaces, communities, families — opportunity abounds. Leadership requires intentionality, regardless of if you have a title or not. Leading from light is meant to challenge us to lead from the right source.
Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12), the source of light in darkness. To lead from light is a call to self-awareness: is our influence fueled by our desire for the spotlight, seeking to get ahead and be the best at all costs? Or—for those of us who are Christ-followers—are we leading from Light? May we remember to honor Jesus in our every day so that we too are light in the darkness (Matthew 5:14-16).
So let’s be light! Leading from our source, leading from light.
PROFESSIONAL
I am a human resources and organizational development professional, with experience in leadership, coaching, and process improvement. Helping others grow and reach their potential is definitely a favorite of mine! My spirit of excellence is driven by a strong desire to honor God in all aspects of my life, especially my work. I truly believe as a Christ-follower, my influence and impact are a part of how I honor Him. My work-life verse is Colossians 3:23. Another fun fact about me professionally is that I have a Masters in Psychology with an Industrial-Organizational Psychology specialization. This degree has equipped me to have a research-based approach to client needs and corporate solutions.
PERSONAL
I love Jesus. I’m a proud Army wife and Army mom. In my spare time when I’m not reading or writing, I love to be outside with my husband. He and I share our humble homestead with a rambunctious Australian Shepherd puppy, and 2 cats. Over the years we accidentally discovered we are great at renovating houses, although I rather like the place we’re currently in and hope we stay for a long while. If you love personality inventories like me, then here is a list of my scores: Enneagram 2w3, DiSC style Si, Myers Briggs ENFP, and my PI reference profile is Promoter.
I hope this website is a blessing, and to Jesus be all honor! My prayer remains, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.” (Ps 14:19 NLT)
Hope and peace,
Amy
