Meeting Mary T in 2021 was a turning point in my career. As an executive coach, she guided me in uncovering my true self as a leader. She created a safe space for me to reflect, peel back layers, and challenge my approach to leadership—particularly in terms of the impact I was having on my team, peers, and family.
She encouraged me to pause, breathe, and reflect on my journey. Leadership, as we know, is a privilege. While I had been leading a high-performing team that delivered results, Mary T helped me realize I needed a deeper understanding of what truly drove our success. What mattered most to my team? What kind of environment did I need to co-create to foster growth, sustainable results, and a culture of safety and trust?
Beyond becoming a better decision-maker, strategic thinker, and communicator, the real focus for me was on creating an environment where everyone—my team, peers, and family—could thrive. She gave me the tools to cultivate a space where we felt safe, free from blame or judgment, and able to provide constructive feedback, hold each other accountable, and move meaningfully toward our goals.
Mary T also guided me to become more self-aware, to examine my behaviours and motivations, and to recognise the impact I had on everyone I engaged with. Mary T challenged the limiting beliefs that had been holding me back and helped me shift my mindset in a totally non-judgmental space where I can always openly discuss challenges, fears, and ambitions. Additionally, Mary T provided invaluable strategies for managing stress and maintaining a healthy work-life balance, which has been key to my continued performance and to reconnecting with my family in ways I hadn’t experienced before. For this, I am deeply grateful.
She is my most trusted advisor, a sounding board for ideas and decisions, offering an unbiased and objective perspective that I can always rely on.
