In anticipation of The Business of You – A Wellness & Wealth Retreat, I’m honored to introduce Amber Chand, an extraordinary coach, storyteller, and entrepreneur whose work in women’s empowerment and global enterprise has inspired countless leaders — including myself. Amber Chand is a gifted global storyteller, visionary guide, and inspirational speaker whose Dream A New Dream programs and international retreats today offer a potent vision for living into a new story from a place of courageous love, fearless imagination, and enlivened wisdom.
As an Indian woman born in Uganda who was expelled in her youth from her country as a refugee, Amber speaks on the power of the resilient spirit in our world, one that weaves together the sacred and strategic, the ancient and the visionary, the mystical and the practical – recognizing that it is in this dance of seeming opposites that our creative powers emerge and our visionary new story begins.
In Amber Chand's talk with us, we will
DREAM A NEW DREAM: Navigating Uncertainty with Wisdom, Creativity and Fearless Imagination
We live in our stories. Our stories shape who we are and give us a sense of meaning and identity. During times of uncertainty, when the stories around us are being shaken up, we can often feel lost, stuck, or adrift in a sea of confusion.
Amber's Message to Survivors: We arrive at this time as storytellers, dreamers, map makers, and myth makers, alchemists ready to transform the grit of our past into the gold of a new vision. Let us be brave, together.
What to Expect in Her Session
In this talk, Amber will offer you some potent insights into how to navigate times of uncertainty with wisdom, clarity and fearless imagination. You will be introduced to visionary practices that will support you in shaping your new story through the power of inquiry, intention and imagination. And leave with some practical tools to sustain you on your visionary journey into wealth and wellness.
As a refugee and cancer survivor, Amber is recognized for her work in women’s empowerment and enterprise and brings a unique perspective as to how we can design a powerful vision for our lives even in the midst of uncertainty.
A Journey Marked by Resilience & Imagination
Amber’s story is one of displacement, possibility, and creative resurrection. Born in Uganda to Indian heritage and expelled from her country as a child, she has carried the seed of transformation through her life journey. She is also a breast cancer survivor, and her healing story informs her commitment to speaking and guiding with both vulnerability and power.
She now speaks from the vantage of one who has lived through margin and miracle, blending ancestral wisdom, spiritual insight, and grounded strategy into her work.
Her Work: Coaching, Vision & Global Voice
Amber’s coaching philosophy — Visionary Coaching — invites clients to shift from constricted, survival-based stories into expansive, creative narratives of possibility. Her approach is not just surface-level “fixing” but digging into the archetypal stories that undergird our lives, bridging the mystical and the strategic, the soul and the ledger.
She also supports entrepreneurs through her Visionary Entrepreneur Coaching, helping them align strategy, story, and mindset in building lives that matter.
Beyond coaching, Amber has founded and co-founded powerful social ventures with global reach:
- Women’s Peace Collection — a social enterprise offering artisan women from conflict-impacted regions (Afghanistan, Rwanda, Haiti) access to international markets and economic dignity.
- Prosperity Candle — a business rooted in compassionate commerce and the empowerment of women entrepreneurs worldwide.
Her vision is to see business not just as profit but as a transformational vehicle for justice, healing, and social change. She has been recognized in numerous forums: inducted into the Business Women’s Hall of Fame (Bay Path College, MA), named Entrepreneur of the Month by Inc. Magazine, and featured in Marie Claire, NPR, New York Times, and Boston Globe.
Amber as My Coach & Guide
On a personal note, Amber has played an integral role in shaping my own journey. She has been a visionary coach, helping me clarify my message, lean into my authority, heal internal blocks, and create a new story that aligns my capacity to serve with the future that is me and not from my past. Her guidance has been a gift — both in the internal work of becoming and the external work of leadership.
Her coaching is rare: equal parts soulful container and strategic counsel, she meets the inner and outer worlds with grace, rigor, love and compassion.
What to Expect When Amber Steps to the Mic
At The Business of You – A Wellness & Wealth Retreat, Amber will bring a voice of inspired reclamation, guiding participants to:
- Dare to dream new stories beyond current constraints
- Deepen clarity about purpose, calling, and legacy
- Rewire limiting beliefs and step into embodied vision
- Infuse business with heart, intuitive wisdom, and aligned strategy
Her session won’t be just a talk — it will be an invitation: to co-create something greater, to speak your next chapter into being, to live more fully in the tension of what is and what might be.
How to Prepare to Receive Her
- Come curious and open to possibility
- Hold your more expansive self behind the fears
- Bring questions, dreams, and your whole self
- Be ready to step into new edges
I am deeply honored to host Amber at this retreat. Her presence will elevate the experience, expanding not only our thinking but our capacity to become more of who we are meant to be.
