Real transformation starts at the roots.
Most people turn to professional coaching or development programs to focus on the appearance of their canopy, assuming that pruning the leaves to a state of “full” or “lush” or “balanced” equates to a state of thriving.
We commonly hear things like, “I want to work on my confidence,” “Help me change my habits to get higher self-esteem,” “I want to be more compelling,” and “Give me techniques to stop procrastinating.”
At Always On Purpose®, Amy Eliza Wong doesn’t want you to waste your time just “pruning leaves” without minding the health of the whole tree. For a tree, for you, to really thrive, all parts of the tree need to be healthy and connected – from the roots (relationship to self) to the trunk (relationships with others), to the branches and leaves (results and attributes). When Amy Eliza Wong addresses the totality of your experience, from self-perception to the resulting effects, you will achieve real, long-term transformation.
This is what Amy Eliza Wong and Always On Purpose® Programs address.
Most organizations work on leadership development expecting solutions that “prune the canopy.” That is, they look for ways to achieve specific goals such as:
While techniques “that prune” may satisfy the need for a time, they’re ultimately limited.
Starting at the “roots,” Amy Eliza Wong’s clients gain the courage to be honest with themselves about the fears they may hold or don’t want to acknowledge, and with heightened self-awareness, they embody the art and science of trust and sustain authentic relationships. From this foundation, plus the right tools, processes, and frameworks pulled from the appropriate disciplines, we produce desired “goals” and results. This holistic approach produces stronger, lasting change and is the cause of a greater transformation.
In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively is paramount. At the heart of productive conversation lies trust—an essential currency that fosters powerful collaboration, innovation, and growth. When trust is absent, even the most capable leaders can falter, skilled executives may lose their effectiveness, and once-cooperative colleagues can become adversaries. Without trust, organizations risk stagnation, miscommunication, and lost opportunities.
This highly engaging keynote offers a remedy by unveiling the profound impact of Conversational Intelligence as a strategic framework for cultivating trust within teams. By exploring the eye-opening foundations of trust, participants will understand that it transcends mere camaraderie; it is a relational state that fuels ingenuity and accelerates problem-solving.
This session reveals the necessity of trust in cultivating a healthy, connected, and high-performing organization, empowering attendees with the insights and tools needed to transform everyday conversations into powerful opportunities for collaboration and growth.

Whether for leaders at all levels, emerging managers, or sales teams, this keynote illustrates that trust is not simply a soft benefit but a crucial element for a thriving culture and community.

This dynamic and engaging session will empower participants to transform resistance into a vital resource for innovation and personal development.
