Amy Gleklen, ACC, MBA, MS

Amy is a certified leadership coach specializing in career and leadership coaching and founder of Next Game Plan.

Amy has created a career exploration and transition coaching program to help get clients in their "career zone." Amy's clients create their own career playbook through the exploration of their personality, strengths, culture, skills and values. She combines coaching with assessments to help clients achieve a new level of understanding and clarity, on a much deeper level than they could obtain on their own. Through discovery and powerful questioning, clients obtain new awareness, see new possibilities, and find their own passions. Clients report greater motivation, productivity and satisfaction in their life after being coached.

In addition to working with clients individually, Amy has created and leads career exploration and transition workshops for people mid-career, teens and young adults in the Washington, DC area. She also leads workshops for corporate and governmental clients on Myers-Briggs and career management and speaks publicly on "Getting into your Career Zone." Amy is one of a select few career coaches recommended by the Wharton Alumni Career Management Office.

Amy has followed her own playbook with over 20 years of corporate, small business, and nonprofit experience, including Merrill Lynch; Biden for President; Booz, Allen & Hamilton; and as director of a DC-based nonprofit. Her background includes leadership roles in management, finance, sales and operations. Her education includes an MBA from Wharton Business School, a Masters degree in Counseling from Johns Hopkins, and leadership coaching certification through Georgetown University. She is an ACC ICF certified coach and certified in a variety of assessments including Myers-Briggs, Strong Interest Inventory and Leadership Circle 360. Amy has been married for 20 years and has four children ages 17, 15, 12 and 8.
