Keynote Speaker
|
Amy Gallimore believes that storytelling and humor are strategies for success in leadership. Using her southern drawl and quick wit, Amy creates an environment where audiences find themselves immediately drawn into her world laughing, reflecting, and learning the life lessons that she has learned. Amy knows that her job is more than being humorous. She skillfully uses humor and her real life experiences as an approach to teach audiences that optimism is key to effective leadership. Her on-stage experiences are captivating, genuine, and original as she challenges audiences to change their approach from looking at leadership as “just a job” to “it’s an attitude.”
Born and raised in Tennessee, Amy is a proud graduate of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. She received her Master’s Degree from the University of Georgia but quickly returned to her home state where she proudly states that “Rocky Top will always be home sweet home to me!” Amy is the Creative Director and CEO of Four16 Training Solutions and a Leadership Fellow at TRI Leadership. She is a proud army wife who resides in Lebanon, TN with her husband, Jay. She spends her spare time volunteering with Army Readiness Programs, amusing her husband with her bad puns, hoarding Sharpies, and continues her lifelong goal of trying to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. |
