Mary has a breadth of experience that makes her brave, curious, inquisitive and insightful. As a coach, sometimes you don’t know where you want to go with things. With Mary, she's not afraid to explore, and asks permission to do so.

She’s sharp, knows how to work with senior leaders, and pushes you to new heights when it comes to behavioral change and mindset shift. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking to break the mold, and push the boundaries in their professional career.

I first met Mary 10 years ago, when she spoke at an event on Navigating Office Politics organized by The American Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai. Then, Mary’s self-confident presence as a speaker and razor sharp insight struck me. She’s a rare “natural” at speaking.

Now, I continue to find Mary’s advice insightful and credible. She gives real-life examples and puts herself in others’ shoes, which I always appreciate.

The first time I met Mary, I knew she was the executive coach for me.

I was looking for a coach who had a clear process. She kept me focused and on target, making sure I followed through with my goals, and achieving what I wanted to accomplish. Mary's coaching style is effective and practical. In addition, she is very personable, straight-up and constructive. She pushed me outside my comfort zone, and led me to see great results, creating the future I wanted in my professional life.

I find Mary an extraordinary speaker, and very engaging.

Mary and I have worked together on a number of projects including TEDxShanghaiWomen and Women in Leadership Forum. She is unconventional, direct, refreshing, succinct and honest. She knows how to draw out the key point and issues, and give you key-takeways that are easy to remember and applicable to your own situation.

Mary's time on the ground in vast experience, makes her the real deal. I don't believe anyone else would have been able to get the results out of me the way Mary has.

Mary is a trusted person, who has a warmth and calmness about her that makes her easy to work with. She is extremely empathetic, insightful and wonderfully honest in her approach. Furthermore she recognises patterns and can call your blind spots which I found very valuable.

Mary’s deep understanding and experience in helping US corps understand China, as well as coaching China executives in US culture, makes her a unique proposition. Not many people can do what Mary does.

From working with Mary, I have become a more effective leader, and our business has double digits year on year.

Mary’s candor and ability to give direct and difficult feedback grabbed my attention in ways that motivated me to change my leadership style. This change strengthened my role as a leader and improved the culture within my team and business. She has a lot of field experience with large corporations and entrepreneurs, so her mix of international experience across many different companies and industries made her value proposition extremely compelling for me and our coaching engagement was a big success as a result.

Mary offers best practices and a personalized development plan for executives who want to refine their executive presence.

Mary has a lot of experience dealing with senior leaders, and can pull from that experience very readily. She offers more than what is expected from executive coaches, and goes that extra mile. She always follows up on conversations, and working with Mary, I feel like I have someone who I can trust and always call upon when in need of a boost of energy, new perspective and someone who can help me instigate change.

After working three years with Mary, Mary continues to impress us with a sharp focus on getting results from our leaders, in a way that so far no other coach has been able to do.

We have seen the positive behavioral changes from our leaders, as a result of Mary's facilitation in the executive leadership workshops and her endeavors with the executive coaching. Mary is very focused, engaging and results oriented. Mary is an expert in leadership development, being professional and neutral all the time, and has an adaptive style to any sort of leader, no matter where they are based, or where they are from. I do believe Mary will exceed all expectations, and help you and your leaders deliver success.

Mary is my number 1 executive coach and professional confidante.

I’ve worked with Mary on a number of projects and she is my go-to executive coach.

Mary has a level of composure and fearlessness with executives all the way to the board level. Because of Mary’s breadth of exposure to executives in Silicon Valley, China and across the globe, she knows how get to the heart of the issue, without getting people's defenses up. Mary has culture agility which few executive coaches have. She’s reads people quickly and accurately, and able to dive into the root of the problem, then bring people who have completely different perspectives together to develop a solution that is a win-win for all.
