"From a one-on-one perspective, I sincerely appreciated Mary’s low-key approach to draw out my issues and resolutions.

"From the first time I read an article Mary had written on having difficult discussions in business, I knew I needed to speak with her about her approach to executive coaching. She is an expert from top to bottom.
She had a disciplined curriculum, was well organized and flexible enough to understand the demands of a Silicon Valley exec.
