Case study coming soon
Wendy Verna, President and Founder, Octo Design Group
As a seasoned marketer entering the field of soft skills education for the first time, I knew I needed guidance from someone who not only understood the landscape—but genuinely cared about youth development. I met Amy Cowan during an online webinar, and from our very first exchange, I could tell she brought not just expertise, but heart.
Amy immediately jumped in—sharing research, breaking down unfamiliar terms, and offering clear, actionable next steps. She helped me connect the dots between my vision and the real-world needs of students and educators. Her generosity, strategic clarity, and ability to connect the big picture with practical steps made a huge difference.
If you’re looking for a partner who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in making a difference, Amy is exactly who you want in your corner.
Lauren Kopsick, Founder and Executive Director, The Healthcare Navigation Project
I’ve worked as a small business consultant for over 20 years, in addition to leading a nonprofit—and I know firsthand that the sign of a great collaborator is someone who can balance expertise with adaptability. Amy Cowan does exactly that.
Since we began working together, Amy has made a meaningful and lasting contribution to our organization. She’s helping us expand and transition our volunteer onboarding deck from Canva to SharePoint, bringing clarity, structure, and a keen eye for usability. She listens carefully, works efficiently, and brings both polish and practicality to every step of the process.
