Her Growth Mindset

I’m Amy Jo Szymanski, your gypsy at heart who loves to think, talk, and explore possibilities through conversations and daydreaming. As a kid, I moved a lot until my family landed in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where I graduated high school. In need of warmer weather, I left Ohio for 13 years. During this time, I earned a Bachelor of Science from Kennesaw State University in Georgia while working in F&B. 

My passion for meeting new people and traveling led me to live in four different states. This, coupled with my event management roles, allowed me to explore tons of our country and even Central America until moving back to the Akron area. 

For 10+ years, I passionately created B2B events and conferences. However, due to the recent pandemic, I was permanently laid off. Timing is everything, and I decided it was the perfect opportunity to diversify my personal and professional skillsets. Couple this with my personal development journey and passion for a growth mindset led me to earn a Social + Emotional Intelligence Certified Coach® certificate from the Institute for Social + Emotional Intelligence (ISEI)®.
