Our Board and staff are looking forward to achieving the goals laid out at the recent Board Retreat that was led by Mary Lee. I can’t under estimate the role she played in making this happen. Her preparation for the retreat and prodding during our planning calls positioned us to have a clear idea of where we wanted to be at the end of the day. In addition, her ability to implement those plans, interact with the Board and guide them in addressing our issues was excellent. It enabled us to receive valuable input from almost everyone in attendance – including some who I didn't think would be proactive in discussions. I am looking forward to the new direction laid out by the Board.

“An idea-generator, an expert in fund-raising and a true leader in the non-profit arena all describe Mary Lee Gannon. I have had the great pleasure of working with Mary Lee as a fellow board member and a Past-President of the Pittsburgh Society of Association Executives and as a voluntary co-chair of Hospital Council's Fund Development Committee. Mary Lee brings her passion, enthusiasm, expertise and experience to every endeavor she undertakes. It is truly a privilege to know and work with Mary Lee.”

Mary Lee is an extremely thoughtful professional. She is able to go 30 thousand feet in the air and look down at a situation to correctly and properly ascertain what is really going on and make the most thorough and thoughtful recommendation(s) for her clients. She comes to her professional world as an accomplished author with not only real world experience, but a network of powerful relationships that can move the client to the next level. Mary Lee is very practical, but possesses a wealth of Emotional Intelligence she brings to her peers, subordinates and superiors. As a leader; she is a natural teacher living by example what she wishes to impart to others. Mary Lee is creative, conscientious and has a high work ethic. I would highly recommend Mary Lee in any professional capacity. She is an asset and strength to any team or individuals who may hire her.

Mary Lee’s coaching was a great benefit to me in my job search. Her probing enabled me to find personal strength and brought me to a point of self-awareness that has been beneficial to my personal and work life. Mary Lee’s insights were very important as I prepared for interviews and ultimately accepted a position. I highly recommend her coaching service to improve personal, family, and work life perceptions.

Mary Lee is quite knowledgeable and articulates concepts well. She can think and respond to any situation thrown her way and I will forever remember her contributions to my personal and professional life. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.

Mary Lee not only gave me directive and doors to follow a variety of paths, but she allowed me to explore avenues that I would have never taken had those paths not been exposed to me. She had the ability to read between a lot of lines and not only green light many things but poke me to advance myself, perhaps when I may not have on my own. The entire session time has allowed me to explore many new things with a more grounded set of ideals and goals.

Working with Mary Lee has been an awesome experience. The exercises she recommended helped me to dig deep, and to look at my values and how they fit into my work and family life. I also gained perspective on setting manageable goals, and understand that I don't have to have all the answers today as my life is a work in progress.

Coaching with Mary Lee has helped open a whole new approach and vision of how I see my career path moving forward. She has helped me see that there are different approaches in dealing with people in the professional world. Her discovery questions and technique aided me in thinking beyond my normal scope or "outside of the box" for a more holistic approach to my career path. I was pleasantly surprised at the new findings that were discovered such as how my values align with my "work" values and me considering management in my future career path.

During every telephone coaching session, Mary Lee Gannon provided me with insights and guidance which simulated my thought processes, concerning my future, into some new directions that I had not previously considered. I appreciate her clear, practical and yet creative approaches to helping me to help myself - by enabling me to pinpoint and overcome obstacles that I tend to build for myself. Each of Mary Lee's articles speaks to me in such a way that I want to put the concepts into practice in order to see the results for myself.
