Amy McCorkle

Amy McCorkle coaches people thrust into leadership. She is an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Her training and certification are from the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and is a Certified Professional Co-active Coach (CPCC). She has a B.A. in Economics from Yale College. Prior to her coaching career, Amy spent over 20 years as an Executive Producer in multimedia, leading teams to create educational software that accompanied textbooks. One of her chief tasks was to work with clients to create a shared vision for a project, and then lead and motivate large teams to reach that common goal. She was quickly noticed as someone who successfully mentored individuals, fast-tracking them to promotion, and was asked to start mentoring people targeted by management as rising stars. On the heels of that success, she was asked to create a program to teach these same skills to all the project managers in the company. Amy also has a passion for the performing arts and serves as President of Spotlight Playhouse, a community theater based in Haverhill, MA. The group is in its 6th season, and she is working actively to build the group, both in terms of quality of performances as well as in drawing talent to the group and increasing its ranks. She has directed, assistant directed, stage managed, and acted in numerous productions. In particular, directing combines her experience with project management, leading a team to a shared vision, and her passion for theater with the desire to coach and serve by bringing forth performances that both exceed the actors’ expectations and move audiences.
