About the Seawolf.Brun Team
“There’s no shortage of career advice out there—some of it great, some of it... not so much, and a lot of it just overpriced. For many professionals, finding quality guidance that’s affordable can be frustrating, especially when you’re already in a tough spot like facing a lay off. That’s why I started Seawolf.Brun—to offer proven, reliable advice to individuals and companies at prices that won’t leave you stressed about the cost. Sure, it might not be the most lucrative business model, but it aligns with my purpose, and that’s worth more to me. At the end of the day, we all deserve to feel proud of the work we do, and I’m here to help you discover incredible opportunities in your career.”
Amy Self, Chief Coaching Officer
About Amy
Leadership
Amy has spent the last 25 years learning that leading teams is equal parts strategy, patience, and sometimes a bit of trial and error. She has guided teams as small as 3 and as large as 230, across private companies, government agencies, and everywhere in between. Whether working side-by-side in the same room or scattered across different time zones, Amy has mastered the art of bringing people together to achieve transformative results in HR, banking, and federal finance. It’s been a wild ride, but every challenge has sharpened her ability to help others thrive in their roles. Now, she’s excited to take everything she’s learned and help others do the same in their careers.
The Bona Fides
Amy boasts a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems from the University of Maryland College Park and has sharpened her strategic prowess with a Leading Strategically certificate from the Center for Creative Leadership.
Coaching and People Building
For over a decade, Amy has dedicated herself to mentoring managers on crucial topics like self-advocacy, navigating team performance challenges, and improving employee retention. She has reviewed thousands of resumes (and counting), hired hundreds of people, and has a knack for igniting the potential in others. With a passion for helping individuals build their careers, Amy brings a wealth of experience and a dash of humor to every coaching session, making the journey not only insightful but enjoyable.
And The Important Stuff
Amy calls Charleston, South Carolina, home, where she navigates the delightful chaos of life with her two teenagers and two pandemic puppies, all while being supported by her amazing veteran husband Jeff who graciously tolerates the whirlwind and is an amazing business partner. This lively crew is her “team,” providing the perfect blend of sanity and grounding as she juggles her various roles and pursuits.

The name Seawolf has its roots in Norwegian, symbolizing "self," a nod to Jeff’s family name. Meanwhile, “Brun” hails from Old English, meaning “brown,” representing Amy’s family heritage. This business wouldn’t exist without the unwavering support of family and friends, so Seawolf.Brun is a tribute to that legacy. It may sound fancy, but rest assured, we’re anything but stuffy—feel free to call us SB or even “hey you” whenever you like!
