About Mary
My philosophy
I live with a few basic assumptions about leadership:
- Great leaders are deeply connected to themselves, others, and their world, and get sustainable world class results in large part because of those deep connections.
- Leadership is not so much about technique as it is about authenticity.
- What you focus on is what you create.
- Abundant thinking begets abundant results, just as scarcity thinking begets scarce results.
- Leaders measure results in the context of a higher purpose, and are committed to growing themselves and the people they lead so that everyone might serve this collective purpose more powerfully.

My Work Experience
Lots of different work experiences have influenced my coaching. After graduating from Amherst College in 1981, I taught English at Northfield Mount Hermon School, and conducted research about women and work at the research institute, Catalyst, in New York City. After returning to school to get an MBA at Yale in 1988, I worked as an internal organizational effectiveness manager and human resource development manager at Cummins Engine Company and G.E. Capital for six years. I then set up my own organizational consulting practice, and consulted for a dozen years to elementary schools, principals, and educational change 
organizations throughout Connecticut on leadership, organizational change, and school improvement issues. Along the way, I also provided career coaching and counseling to students at the Yale School of Management Career Development Office. For the past few years, I have received extensive professional coach training (see My Education and Training), providing me with additional tools to augment the coaching, advising, and consulting I have done for twenty years. My current clients include leaders and organizations that are committed to furthering sustainability. They are highly educated professionals who are leaders in sustainable development, education, marketing, journalism, consulting, and nonprofits.
