Amy Jaffe Barzach, nationally acclaimed speaker, coach, and advocate for inclusive communities and children with disabilities, discovered the power of following one’s passion when she led a team of parents and professionals to found Boundless Playgrounds™ in 1997. Today, because of Amy and the many thousands of people she touched and inspired, over 100 inclusive playgrounds have been built in communities throughout the U.S. and Canada where families and children of all abilities can play and learn together. Her personal journey is chronicled in the book, Accidental Courage, Boundless Dreams.“Everyone Matters, Everyone Can Make A Difference.”In response to requests from people all over the country, Amy started Powerful Inspiration™, a company dedicated to helping people everywhere discover their own power to make positive change in the world.“I traveled throughout the country over the last decade, sharing my dreams for Boundless Playgrounds with people and hearing theirs. As I did, I learned that there was an enormous opportunity to help people bring about – in their own way and for what matters to them – the kind of impact we were able to achieve with the creation of Boundless Playgrounds,” said Amy. She continued, “People from all walks of life are hungry to know how they can use their personal energy and passion to positively impact their communities and society as a whole. In today’s challenging times, this is more important than ever. When people heard my story, they realized that they too have the power within themselves to spark the changes they want to see in the world.”Through speaking engagements, workshops, and one-on-one, as a Certified Dream Coach, licensed Purpose Coach, and Master Facilitator for the Life Design 101 program, Amy helps people and organizations learn how to find their passion and use their unique strengths to achieve success and make a lasting difference.
