A little about me, then let’s talk about you.

Hello! I am Amy Ackermann and I started Core Endeavors with Holly Kollwelter in 2020. We bonded over shared experiences and approaches to empowering people, developing talent and fostering inclusive and supportive workplaces. While Holly returned to her social work roots, I continue our mission and shared foundational beliefs:

  • Organizational cultures and people practices are fundamental to overall success

  • There is power in mindfulness and intentionality, gratitude and grace

  • The mind-body connection is a sustaining force

  • We are stronger and capable of more than we believe we are

  • Habits and routines are important tools in establishing and maintaining our best lives

For over 30 years, I have helped individuals and organizations achieve their goals, navigating change to becoming the best versions of themselves. I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Social Policy (Counseling) from Northwestern University and I am a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) through iPEC. I am a lifelong student of people, habits, choices and why we make the decisions we do. I love to help others tap into their strengths and talents to build a dynamic and meaningful future and to help organizations foster the best cultures possible. In addition to helping others, I also enjoy cooking (and eating!), reading, nature walks and hiking, attending live music events, fun with friends, travel, and spending time with my family and my dog, Tyger.
