“So what exactly is ‘coaching’, and how can a coach help me?”
Good questions! First off, coaching is not therapy; it’s working with an accountability partner who supports you in making changes you desire and helps you to follow through to reach your goals. Many coaches are folks who’ve completed a course in coaching, hang out a shingle, and call themselves coaches. I’m a little different. In addition to being a Certified Life Coach, I’m a Professor of Psychology, an experienced university leader, a seasoned executive, academic, and career coach, and a mom to 2 young children. I use my extensive university, corporate, and personal experience to work with committed professionals like you to find ways to meet your professional and personal goals and value your time in a way you can sustain. I invite you to email me today to set up your free sample coaching session.
Here’s what some of my clients are saying:
“I was at a point in my career where I needed an outside counsel to help me focus on my strengths and eliminate the day-to-day distractions that were holding me back from achieving my personal and professional goals. In the few months that I have been working with [Mary], I have a new energy and focus towards my career. She has taught me how to better manage my expectations of others and provided me with tools towards communicating effectively.” -Chief Compliance Officer, Denver Investment Management Company
“Mary offers a professional and compassionate approach to coaching. Her insights are important and relevant. Her messages are clear. Her delivery is warm and constructive. Her goals are identified and realized. In the few months I have been working with her, [Mary] has already been instrumental in helping me to identify and achieve my personal and professional goals. I’m very pleased with the results of our work!” - Assistant Professor, University of Colorado
“Mary brings a strong combination of professionalism and compassion to her coaching and mentoring work that helps clients find meaningful paths to change. Her sense of humor and ability to help clients and groups re-frame problems are powerful tools. I highly recommend her as a mentor and coach.” - Professor of Communication, University of Colorado
