Back in December we had our first dad on the show, Andy Kingman, the husband of my dear dear friend Amy Kingman who is with us today! Andy is the one who first shared the idea of relationship capital with me which is something I haven’t stopped thinking about. And today Amy and I talk more about how we invest our relationship capital with our families and most importantly ourselves. Which is so hard. Because any time, energy, money we put into ourselves takes away from our family right? That’s what we’ve been told! But we say THAT’S TRASH! Investing in yourself is the most important thing you can do. 

Amy has over 15 years of experience in the philanthropy and nonprofit sector. Before launching her own consulting firm in 2020, Amy spent four years as the chief executive for two private family foundations started by Doris Buffett: The Learning by Giving Foundation and the Letters Foundation. In 2018, Amy was honored as one of Boston’s ‘40 under 40’ for expanding Doris’ philanthropy.

Prior to her philanthropic work, Amy held several positions in various small nonprofit organizations focused on youth development and mentorship, including Breakthrough Greater Boston, Strong Women, Strong Girls, and Mass Mentoring Partnership. She currently serves on the Board of Trustees of Wellspring House and, before being elected to the ECCF Board in 2021, was a member of the foundation’s County Leadership Council.

Amy holds a Master’s in Social Work with a concentration in nonprofit management from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Bachelor’s degree in social work from Skidmore College. She lives in Essex with her husband and daughter. Learn more about Amy at www.amykingmanconsulting.com and follow her on instagram @amylynnkingman.
