"Mary is adept at quickly figuring out how organizations work—what its business goals are, how things happen, how decisions are made, who is influential and who is not, etc. This allowed Mary to quickly establish credibility and an opportunity to begin peeling back the layers of the onion on the key issues that needed to be dealt with in order to move forward. Whether or not the issues were organizational or related to a particular person, Mary approached the situation in a very professional, objective, and outcome-oriented manner.
"Mary's ability to create strong personal bonds with business clients of varying backgrounds, levels, and influence is equally impressive. Over the past few years, Mary and I have established a relationship that I truly value as I can be absolutely honest and forthcoming with her on how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking. Through Mary's coaching, I have gained some remarkable personal insights that have had tremendous impact on how I approach situations of great complexity. I feel that Mary is an accomplished coach with an ability to transform behaviors of leaders at all levels in a company."

"Mary has worked as an executive coach for my organization over the past four years. She has been a core resource helping our leaders develop skills such as strategic thinking, executive presence and influence. Mary has all the elements that make an executive coach exceptional. She is savvy, listens beneath the surface, quickly picks up on the political landscape, and is a wise problem-solver. Her clients continually rate her 100% effective. She is a true partner with the program office, keeping me in the loop at all phases of a coaching engagement. She is a trusted and well regarded coach and a true pleasure to work with".

"Mary's energetic and engaging facilitation style was instrumental in preparing myself and my Continuous Improvement Green and Black Belts at the U.S. Navy's Fleet Readiness Center Southwest to interact and lead traditional and virtual teams in a positive and inclusive manner. Following our work with her we noticed an immediate increase in the efficiency and effectiveness of our project teams."

"Mary has been working with our company for 5 years, assisting us in training our Black Belts to drive tactical change in the organization. Her workshop has helped me and others understand and influence our stakeholders, to get their buy-in for project goals and deliverables. Many of the techniques we learned are transferable to daily work efforts and I have had several participants share with me that they approach situations differently based on key learnings from the workshop. Additionally, Mary has coached several of the participants on their individual styles and has given them much-appreciated ideas for how to change/improve their delivery and effectiveness. We've had great results from Mary's workshops and look forward to more of them."

"Mary's extensive experience with diverse clients and companies enables her to apply guidance and solutions for any situation or type of goals. She is great at reading between the lines and hearing the underlying issues, which adds to her holistic approach to coaching. This was very helpful for me and contributes to the long- term success of my outcomes. I would highly recommend her and will re-visit and refine with her in the years to come."
