Wonder Woman in Business, Amber Lee Forrester

Freeman Means Business' Wonder Women in Business Podcast

Amber Lee Forrester is a coach, facilitator, positive psychology practitioner, motivational speaker, content creator, event producer and serial entrepreneur. She is the founder of Quartz Wellness Collective, a personal growth and development organization that provides life-enhancing resources and tools for women who seek to live healthier, happier, and more purposeful lifestyles. The Quartz Wellness Collective hosts and produces uplifting events, transformational workshops, retreats, and online content designed to promote mental, physical, emotional, financial and social well-being.

Amber’s robust background has contributed a highly transferrable skill set that gives her the confidence and know-how to continue her purpose-driven career path. Her high school and college modeling, hosting and on-camera interviewing experience formed her comfort and self-assured presence on stage and in front of the camera, and built up her ability to engage people in meaningful conversation. Her fifteen years of event experience supports her ability to create, coordinate, design and execute entertaining and impactful events. With ten years of apparel design, manufacturing, sales and marketing for her designer dog apparel company, Kane & Couture, she is masterful at product development, branding and online retail.

Amber is a visionary. Her top strengths are her creativity, love of learning, resourcefulness, resilience, and her ability to execute down to the minor details of her vision to bring her ideas to life. Her personal motto is “always do your best.” Her list of accomplishments reflect the hard work and dedication she applies when she decides to commit to a goal. A few notable accomplishments include: graduating from each level of schooling with honors; being chosen from a national multi-city search as the Seagrams Gin Live Veejay in 2003; acceptance into the highly competitive inaugural Macy’s Workshop vendor development initiative that resulted in Amber selling Kane & Couture into Macy’s and becoming one of the faces of the program; being selected from tens of thousands of entrepreneurs to appear on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank, where she struck a deal with Daymond John and Lori Greiner; creating, producing and executing a wellness retreat to Grenada where 50 women of color joined together for four days of transformational mind and body activities. Amber has spoken at schools, churches, entrepreneur conferences, and her own wellness events and retreats motivating people to find purpose, let go of limiting beliefs and have the confidence to show up and accomplish what one’s heart desires.

Amber is happily married and the mother of two young children. Her husband, Garvin Forrester is aerospace engineer by trade, but also a serial entrepreneur with ownership in multiple companies. The Forresters are currently working together to bring positive entertainment and wellness to metropolitan areas through a series of concerts and festivals.
