True Stories from People Just Like You
What you’re about to read are true stories from people just like you, who started with the desire to having a rewarding, successful, balanced worklife. With the right guidance and support, those dreams have become their reality. I couldn’t be more excited to share their experiences with you.
"Mary is as good as they come, she's an incredible coach with experience and a whole lot of wisdom. Her ability to listen, ask targeted questions and inspire you to see the next level is remarkable."
Ali Merchant, Business Owner, Management Consultant 
“I worked with Mary to complete a long-term personal project that had nagged at me for years and impeded aspects of my life that I want to enjoy. I also wanted to learn a way of thinking and develop a set of tools to utilize in improving other aspects of my life. I recommend working with Mary without reservation to anyone who wants to shift from thinking about it, to seeing real results. Enjoy the journey!”
Barb Burk, Physician Liaison, St. Louis Children's Hospital 
“I worked with Mary one-on-one and she helped me improve my performance both in work and even in life. When a group coaching opportunity became available, I wanted to up my game further. This training is much wider than just being a better worker. I was given a procedure that will help me tackle all of my goals one after another."
Rob Rolves, President, Foreman Fabricators 
"Mary is a genuine and insightful professional with a wealth of experience and knowledge in productivity. Mary understands the hurdles and it's encouraging that sometimes the answer is simpler than it seems. We now have new ways of looking at our workday and breaking down projects, which has been immensely helpful, thanks to Mary."
Angie Lawing, CEO, Mercury Labs 
"If you are looking to grow professionally and personally, then working with Mary is a must. She provides perspectives which both challenge you and facilitate your development. Working with her is for someone who is serious about their development and willing to put forth the effort."
Brent Koslo, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Manufacturing 
“Mary’s expertise was just what I needed to improve some areas in my professional life. She does not promise a magic formula; rather, Mary is skilled at showing you how to harness abilities you already possess. Wherever you are in your career, and whether you manage just yourself of a whole team, you’ll benefit from working with Mary. Her practical guidance is easy to understand and implement. She uses scientific assessment tools and keen insight to bring order and clarity to your worklife. I’m happy I made the investment to work with her.”
Laurie Medley, Vice President, Marketing & Public Relations 
“Mary has the ability to grasp the overall picture, identify specific challenges standing in the way of your goals and develop real-world, targeted solutions to address those challenges. She has a keen insight into human behavior and was also able to establish trust with our engineers who then felt comfortable opening up to her. Time management, communication and life balance issues were identified and solved, often quickly. And she’s just fun – which in a busy, demanding environment, is a value-added bonus.”
Marsia "Marsie" Geldert-Murphey, Managine Partner, Kaskaskia Engineering Group, LLC 
"I hired Mary to help me with time management, prioritization and work-life balance. We spent a few months doing regular coaching calls and activities and I find myself still employing the skills I took away. I hear her voice in my head if I find myself going astray from my goals or feeling overwhelmed. As a career woman and mother of three young children, having someone like Mary in your corner is not just invaluable; it is necessary."
Vicky Vogel-Iturri, Senior Vice President, Merrill Lynch 
"Mary made a tremendous impact in my life both professionally and personally. She began working with me at just the right time. With her help and guidance I was able to refocus my practice on what was truly important and bring more value to my clients. My only regret is that I did not hire her earlier in my career."
Christine Zych, Owner, Dovetail Estate Planning, P.C
