    Leadership/Career Development: Ready To Take Your Next Step?
    In a research study of thousands of business leaders,* women outscored men in all but ONE of the 16 leadership competencies.

In this high-content program, you’ll get clear about what you want and what you need to quit in order to advance your career and develop an improved strategic perspective. There’s no reason we can’t make it 16 out of 16. (*Jack Zenger, Joseph Folkman, Harvard Business Review)

What People are Saying about Seeing Mary Speak

Rating Entries

    “Immediately following your moving, entertaining and meaningful talk during this year′s Executive Conference we knew you had hit a home run. We committed to you right then to have you back next year. We have since learned that not only did we enjoy hearing what you had to say, but what you said works!”
    Robert Schwarze, President and CEO Association of Sales and Marketing Companies

    “After experiencing your talk on two occasions, I am fascinated by the way you seem to lift the audience out of complacency into action with your touching stories and sound advice.”
    Karel Horney, American Heart Association

    “It is rare indeed to find someone who can stand in front of a class of 500 educators and make each and every one of them feel special and valuable.”
    Maria Grier, Director Chapman University

    “You touched the lives of everyone in that room including senior level executives from clinical research, vice presidents and CEOs from pharmaceutical, biotechnical, medical device and contract research organizations. Many delegates approached me to say it was a perfect conference. I believe this was because of you.”
    Andrea Szigethy, Vice President Institute for International Research

    “I count myself fortunate to have heard many of the world′s leading presenters, but rarely have I witnessed anyone who delivers their message with the simple intensity that you have mastered. At every conference there are always one of two speakers who steal the show. In your case you didn′t so much steal it, as hijack it.”
    Tim Webster, Director Bodylife, Ltd United Kingdom

    “It is obvious that Mary′s high energy, engaging style, combined with a sincere and self effacing manner, established a very quick rapport with all participants.”
