Personal Development

Live your Best Life with purpose and resilience.

Banish burnout and live your dream life.

In this ever-changing, uncertain world, it’s easy to get caught up with the busyness and pressure of life and endless “to-do” lists, leaving little time for self-reflection, self-care, and personal growth. Your work demands may be never-ending and unfulfilling—and your dreams shelved to the “someday” list. Perhaps you are longing to make a difference and have no clue where to start. Or, maybe you feel burned out, anxious and overwhelmed, or stuck in your career—making it challenging to move forward, realize your goals and create more well-being.

It’s time to reset, realign, nourish, and find your true north — a life that works for you. If you are ready to:

  • Live a happier and healthier life with more ease and joy.
  • Make a more meaningful contribution aligned to your unique talents.
  • Explore your greatest potential and expand your self-awareness.
  • Overcome self-sabotaging behaviors such as self-doubt or self-judgment.
  • Build emotional and mental fitness to navigate change and uncertainty without burning out.

Then, this coaching program is for you!

Your personal success is top priority.

Working with Mary as my executive coach was a true pleasure. Through mindfulness and introspection, I learned how changing others’ perception is a moving goal post and a huge burden. I now experience greater fulfillment and impact in being my authentic self in leading my team and business.

Participating in Stanford’s mindfulness program made a big difference in my life. The program is much more than practicing meditation. It equipped me with the tools to build resilience and awareness of my physical, mental and emotional states while helping me channel my energy and work into effective strategies to live a more balanced life. The resources were rich with great tips on how to approach daily activities more mindfully and present rather than getting lost in the act of “multitasking.” After taking the course, I have a greater sense of enjoyment in my work and developed a healthier and career sustaining approach for managing challenging situations.

Good coaches guide you through challenging moments or teach you skills to solve challenges for life. Mary does both. Her 15+ years of corporate experience combined with a deep mindfulness background, helped me not only navigate challenging stakeholders, but also gave me a framework to expand my self-awareness and lead with more authenticity and vision to inspire my team to grow and succeed. Her unique, skillful coaching approach enabled me to discover my own answers and equipped me with the tools for achieving my career and personal goals. More importantly, my family and team have noticed a more engaged, present, and happy father and leader. Thank you Mary!
