“For nearly 3 years, Mary was my executive coach, providing me with perhaps the most enlightening and insightful guidance at an important time in my career. She has such refined expertise in helping you understand how and why you are who you are, and how that plays into your problem solving, decision making, interactions, reactions, leadership, risk management and more. Mary gives you meaningful and relevant tools that not only help you play to strengths, but also gives equal credence to working through vulnerabilities. She brings integrity, compassion, objectivity and a graceful humanity into every interaction. Her impact on my professional self is still felt every day.”
