Meet Amy Scharff
President and Lead Moderator“When I moderate my groups, I like to be as low-profile as possible while ensuring the highest amount of value for my members. This is a kind of leadership from the side: when a team is well led, they get to the end of a meeting or project and are proud of the success of their team as a whole.’” – Amy Scharff
About the Moderator

My Values & Beliefs
A good moderator is invisible.
I bring keynotes of wisdom, background knowledge, and stories to the conversation when appropriate. But, allowing our members to learn and grow from each other is how they truly grow in their leadership.
Leadership doesn’t have to be a solitary experience.
We guide executives to learn from one another through diverse peer groups, frank and open conversation, and experience sharing in a confidential, supportive setting.
You need to have FUN!
People need “whitespace” to think better and be productive. Fun conversations are good for the soul and increase mental and emotional energy.
My Approach
I had the privilege of being trained in peer-group moderating by one of the original YPO Forum creators, which is rooted in dedication and desire to increase our members’ understanding, wisdom, and personal growth. Every leader affects the people, organizations, and communities that surround them. Through structured, high-caliber peer interactions, we enable leaders to become the best versions of themselves, maximizing the positive impact of their individual “ripple” effects.
