Amber Powers, founder of Powers Peak Consulting and fractional COO, shares her dynamic “Get Shit Done” (GSD) mindset rooted in execution and delivering results beyond planning. Transitioning from finance to project management, Amber found joy in action and solving complex challenges, valuing progress over endless discussion.

Amber recently embraced personal growth through a 12-week improv class, which boosted her confidence in spontaneous communication and creativity. She emphasizes the power of networking and community and idea exchange to elevate professional growth. For momentum in business or life, Amber advises focusing on execution over overthinking, using tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks by impact and effort. Drawing leadership lessons from water sports like rowing and paddle boarding, Amber underscores discipline, synchronicity, and the importance of rest to prevent burnout. Her RadiKal Courage moment was boldly leaving a demanding corporate job to start her own consulting business, fueled by a desire to contribute more meaningfully in operations.

Key Takeaways:

•Execution beats endless planning; taking action creates clarity and momentum.

•Trying new experiences, like improv, builds confidence and adaptability.

•Networking with diverse groups expands perspectives and support.

•Prioritize tasks with an impact/effort matrix to combat execution fatigue.

•Leadership lessons from sports include teamwork, discipline, and pacing.

•RadiKal Courage often involves a definitive step away from comfort toward purpose-driven work.
