Welcome —

I started this blog as an outlet for the thoughts that don’t stop buzzing in my mind.

There is no one genre, no set schedule. But, there will always be something tugging me back here, so who knows what you might find.

My promises to you, reader: 

  • Everything I share comes from a place of authenticity.

  • I write my world with my word - you'll have my full integrity here.

  • You won't be asked for or expected to provide validation and engagement.

 
 

For professional matters, please reach out via email or connect with me on LinkedIn.

Amelia Bartlett’s Professional Bio —

Amelia Bartlett works with leaders, managers, and teams to create strong organizational infrastructure through facilitation, coaching, consulting, and hands-on workshops. She brings a lifetime of experience in entrepreneurship and creative storytelling to the boardroom table, solving sustainability challenges like employee working experience, operational systems and processes, and business innovation with a humanistic approach. Her journey includes multiple operations and strategy lead roles, two years as a nonprofit chief of staff, consulting for the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center and The Maker City, over one hundred published articles, and one school bus transformed into a tiny house (called The Slow Rolling Home).

Amelia built a career during the ‘freelancer’ heyday, opting to pursue skills and experience over the traditional employment pathway. She holds a B.S. in Entrepreneurship & Innovation from the University of South Florida, is a trained FourSight and Creative Problem Solving (CPS) facilitator, and incorporates both design thinking and management design thinking methodologies into her practice. She also holds numerous HubSpot platform and Inbound marketing certifications, is a former (recovering) Microsoft Sharepoint architect, and has built more websites than she cares to admit on Wordpress, Shopify, and Squarespace.

Amelia maintains a vibrant Knoxville community calendar, serving as the strategy and logistics lead for The Rooted East Collective, recently pitching for an winning the United Way Food Security Hackathon, teaching workshops like Vision Casting and Boundaries Start with Budgets through the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center, and as a staff writer for Blank Newspaper. She translates her combined business and writing experience into consulting new startups and nonprofits on pitchcraft, the art of idea enrollment, through presentations, speeches, and live storytelling.

When she isn’t working with humans to make business more sustainable, profitable, and generous, Amelia is likely playing with her adventure pup, tending far too many houseplants, working out at the indoor rock climbing gym, or driving scenic backroads in her 1974 Jeep CJ5.
