[Cue music from Les Mis… “Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs…” 😉] Performance evaluation strikes a chord of doom and dread in everyone’s heart.

The Transformative Power of AccountabilityMarch 4, 2019 - 10:48 pm
A lot of factors come into play when we’re trying to move forward on something in life. One valuable tool for making progress is accountability. In its simplest form, accountability is just making a promise to do something, then having some way to track whether you actually do it. Instead of tracking it yourself, it […]
A Sparkling Theme for 2019February 8, 2019 - 10:15 am
I am not a fan of resolutions. They’re well-intended, but they don’t seem to last. We need something to anchor and guide us, to help us be our best. Having a theme for the year is what works for me. It’s more inspirational. The thing about resolutions is they set external targets. They are prescriptive, […]
GratitudeNovember 12, 2018 - 10:26 am
Thanksgiving is coming up. How are you giving thanks every day?! Did you know that gratitude is more than a thought or idea? Gratitude is a way of being. When we’re in touch with gratitude, it’s a full-bodied experience. That means feeling your appreciation when you are thinking about all of the things you’re thankful […]
The Myth of Work-Life BalanceSeptember 13, 2018 - 12:47 pm
Work-life balance. People talk about it, strive for it, but is it really something we can achieve? I don’t think so. Have you ever done balance poses on the yoga mat? Then you know that balance is a dynamic experience, built of movement and tension. It’s not something you achieve and put behind you—it’s an […]

Mary Moga

“Working with someone like me, not as goal oriented, is tough! But with Mary I learned you can be goal-oriented and it doesn’t have to be like you’re in the military.

She listens beautifully. She reflects it back with a question that makes me think about it in a way that I hadn’t. And she’s funny.”

Mary Moga Higher Education Administrator

Dayle Quigley

“I am somebody who needs homework. I need someone to say ‘Do X Y and Z and get back in touch,’ instead of ‘Think about this and we will talk.’ Mary structured things for me in that manner. Otherwise it is easy for me to put things on back burner.

There were two big main issues that Mary and I worked with: I had too much on my plate, and my marriage was blowing up. So we worked on both.

I gained a good sense of not only who I was but trusting that I had the answers, which is really where you want to get to: That you can trust yourself with the way you are feeling and that the decisions you are making are right for you.”

Dayle Quigley Hayward, Wisconsin, emergency room physician

Annemarie Estess

“I’ve pretty much doubled business over the course of working with her. I know it is tough to attribute it to one single thing, but I know with certainty that she is a part of what has allowed me to do that. And, working with Mary has helped me have much more authentic conversations with people in my life, whether those are people I’m dating, or my relatives, friends or colleagues. She’s helped me get a clear sense of my voice in all those types of relationship.

She has helped me get out of my own way on the goals that really, really matter to me.”

Annemarie Estess San Francisco, small business owner and coach trainee

Gabriel Harren

“For sales people in general a great coach is an asset because we are forced to deal with negative emotions every day – there is a lot of rejection and fear. The resilience needed to withstand that is greater when you have an asset like Mary.

She helps me think through what is going on. If there is conflict with my values, she helps me articulate what is going on. From that we trade action steps to progress through a challenge, or take on an opportunity. She takes what is within me and helps me make sense of it and create actionable steps.

Mary does not bring a one-size-fits-all approach – this is a customized approach we have worked on over the past four years.”

Gabriel Harren Minneapolis, Sales Rep and Entrepreneur

THREE WORDS: Professional, Humor, Authentic

Mary's sense of humor, coupled with her raw authenticity, gave me a huge play ground to be myself and to experiment with letting go of concepts about myself that no longer served me. Our work was, and continues to be, life-changing.

I send my closest friends and family to Mary when someone needs a coach. Enough said. I know you'll get nothing but excellence when you work with her.
