Our Team

“I have been in the field of developing the potential of others for 30 years.  As an optimist, I am tenacious in the pursuit of program design, delivery or facilitation that advances progress towards the defined goals. My creative side drives originality in process and curiosity in solution-seeking.  I trust in the emergence of ideas and solutions from individuals or groups seeking new goals. I share all clients’ desire for results and walk with them to empower them to succeed.”

It started with the designing of her own major, “Human Potential and Development”, at the University of Massachusetts. This led to teaching art in public schools and working in alternative experiential education at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School as the Program Director for the Corporate Programs, where she oversaw programs with Fortune 500 companies worldwide. Mary later received her MBA at the University of Maine in 2000.

Over the last two decades, she has facilitated change programs and leadership development in large corporations.  As a consultant with the Brimstone Consulting Group, she worked with Pfizer, Waste Management, Jones Lang LaSalle, Medco, Arrow Electronics and other large firms.  She is currently a senior consultant with the Cradlerock Group, providing design, delivery, and coaching support for leadership development programs in several large global manufacturing companies. In 2007 she founded “noteworthy", a creative venture that raises funds for Partners In Health.

Mary has raised three grown young women with her husband, Tom. They currently reside in Camden, Maine. She is now hiking across Utah exploring the canyon country in incremental segments.

Seafaring:  Mary was an instructor for the Hurricane Island Outward Bound program for 3 years as a licensed captain for their 30’ open rowing/sailing vessels.  She and her husband have crewed on a 52’ boat from Athens to Majorca and sailed many other boats before owning a J-35.  They have sailed from Maine to Poughkeepsie, NY, and enjoyed many summer week-long cruises on the coast of Maine.  Mary joined Tom for parts of his 13,000-mile Atlantic Circle, including stops in Norway, Finland, Sweden, Madeira, the Canaries, and the US Virgin Islands.
