Innovation, Expansion, and Transcending Your Labels with Amy Simpkins

In this episode, I’m talking with Innovation Strategist Amy Simpkins, author of the book “Spiral: A Catalyst for Innovation and Expansion” on moving past your labels, honoring the natural cycles and seasons of life, and integrating Feminine principles into male-dominated industries.

Her book is all around embracing your whole self so you can make your unique magic, busting the myths that keep you from showing up fully, harnessing the creative power of your own natural cycles, and getting practical tools for building innovating solutions in life and business.  We dive into all these topics and more in this weeks episode!

Listen in to her story of using her engineer’s mindset to figure out who she is at her core,  how to develop your femininity in a male-dominated industry, knowing  when to call enough and enough and the difference between moving on and quitting, understanding how to honor the seasons of life, and embracing being a multifaceted human.

Amy Simpkins has an engineer’s brain and a poet’s heart. Her life’s work has been centered around the integration of seemingly unrelated things and the subsequent solution of wickedly hard problems.

 

Amy is a speaker, author, and thought leader in innovation. She facilitates massive leaps forward by helping individuals and organizations with big ideas make connections they’ve been missing. She believes that innovation is for everyone and holds the key to both personal fulfillment and lasting global change. She has been helping innovators implement their ideas since 2013.

 

Ms. Simpkins is also CEO of the renewable energy startup muGrid Analytics. muGrid solves problems at the edge of energy technology and economics using math and modeling and is dedicated to creating a sustainable energy future for the planet, one project at a time.

 

As a young, female executive in the tech world, she puts her theories about disruptive innovation and bringing your whole self to work into practice every single day.

 

Previously, Ms. Simpkins designed, integrated, and operated spacecraft at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. During her 10-year tenure as an aspiring Spacecraft Systems Architect, she worked on diverse programs such as Juno, Stardust-NExT, Orion, and Space Radar, as well as spent time in dynamic idea incubation groups for new and exciting aerospace innovation.

 

Ms. Simpkins holds an SB in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an MS in Astronautical Engineering from the University of Southern California.
She is a messy chef, a world traveler, a taekwondo orange belt, a red tent facilitator, a homeschooling mom of three, and a tough cookie in the Colorado backcountry.
