They Can See the Future—But Are You Listening?

In this final profile of our Archetypes of Change™ Summer Series, Amy Lynn Durham explores what it means to be an Edgewalker… and why your team needs them now more than ever.

You'll hear:

  1. Why Edgewalkers often feel like outliers (and how to support them)
  2. How Amy discovered she was an Edgewalker—and what that meant for her leadership journey
  3. The five Edgewalker skills and qualities (this archetype is the only one with a matrix!)
  4. How executive coaching at Create Magic at Work® helps translate visionary ideas into strategy
  5. A powerful story about a client whose "wild ideas" ended up saving her company

If you've ever felt like you don't fit neatly into the box—and that might be a good thing—this episode is for you.

Amy Lynn Durham

Amy Lynn Durham is the founder of the executive coaching firm Create Magic At Work® and Magic Thread Media™, a curated boutique podcast network of conscious voices. She is an executive coach and leadership advisor who works with senior leaders and organizations navigating complex change.

A former corporate executive turned executive coach, Amy blends grounded business experience with a deeper exploration of spiritual intelligence and quantum leadership. Her work helps leaders expand beyond traditional leadership models to consider the ripple effects of their decisions on people, culture, and the future.

Amy believes magic at work is not a metaphor. It emerges when leaders go beyond emotional intelligence and cultivate spiritual intelligence, learning to lead from their higher selves rather than from their ego. Through her work, she helps leaders develop the awareness and presence needed to make wise, compassionate decisions even when under pressure while maintaining inner peace.

She is the host of the globally recognized Create Magic At Work® podcast, where she interviews visionary leaders, authors, and change makers exploring spiritual intelligence, conscious leadership, and the future of work. The show often features what Amy calls “voices from the edge” — leaders and thinkers who challenge conventional ideas about leadership and human potential.

Amy is also the author of Create Magic At Work® and Creating Career Magic: A Daily Prompt Journal, and is a sought-after speaker and podcast guest known for bridging modern business challenges with spiritual intelligence, relational wisdom, and practical leadership insight.

Across all of her work, Amy’s mission is to help leaders make wise, compassionate decisions even under stress while envisioning workplaces where people and performance thrive together.
