Developing Leaders &
Building Amazing Teams
One Person at a Time

Building a strong team shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.
If you're tired of wasting time and money on the wrong hires—or struggling to keep the good ones—you’re not alone. I help leaders like you hire smarter, train better, and build teams that actually work.

You’re Trying to Build a Great Team. I’ll Help You Make It Work.

You’re doing everything you can to build a strong team, but it feels like a never-ending cycle.

First, you try to hire the right people. Then comes the onboarding, the training, and the hope that they’ll stick around long enough to grow. You spot leadership potential in some and struggle with conflict from others. All the while, your customers expect excellence, and the weight of keeping it all together falls squarely on your shoulders.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I’m Amy Castro—a communication expert, leadership trainer, and speaker who helps leaders like you build and develop teams that actually work. Whether you're facing high turnover, workplace drama, or lackluster performance, I bring the real-world tools and strategies you need to move forward.

Through live or virtual leadership and team development programs, I’ll help you boost productivity, reduce conflict, and earn back your team’s trust—one person at a time.

About

About me (so you know what you're getting yourself into)

I help leaders like you solve the challenges that keep your business from thriving—like hiring the wrong people, struggling to retain great ones, and watching customers walk away when your team doesn’t deliver.

As a Performance Communication® expert, speaker, and author, I bring more than 20 years of business experience and a passion for helping people communicate better, lead stronger, and build teams that actually work. I’ve coached and trained thousands of professionals across industries to stop spinning their wheels and start creating real, lasting change—one conversation at a time.

My approach is practical, no-nonsense, and rooted in both experience and education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from The George Washington University and a Master’s in Human Communication Theory from the University of Northern Colorado. I’m also proud to hold the Certified Speaking Professional® (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association—an honor earned by fewer than 20% of speakers worldwide.

Amy Castro and her Dog Guenivere

When I’m not on stage, in the studio, or leading training sessions, you’ll usually find me fostering rescue animals, cuddling one of my many permanent pets, or plotting my next RV adventure. I’ve fostered more than 4,000 animals over the years—so when you say managing your employees feels like herding cats, trust me, I really know what you mean. Helping people and pets thrive is what I do best—usually with a little humor, a lot of heart, and zero tolerance for B.S.

Molly Maid - A Neighborly Company

Amy's virtual programs are just as fantastic as her in-person programs. She's engaging, energetic, and gets people interested and involved. Activities give participants the opportunity to share their input with Amy and each other in breakout groups and in the main session. Her expertise and enthusiasm comes right through your computer screen and allows your staff to learn without leaving the office. I highly recommend Amy's virtual programs as a convenient, cost saving option to in-person training and seminars.
