When I begin my leadership coaching sessions, I always ask my clients….”What do you want your legacy to be?” đź’« I’ve found that when we have not made it our life’s work to have understanding and appreciation of our inheritance, we are doing the world a disservice. We must be WILLING to plant seeds back […]
A former professor of mine once asked a question: “Who is the most important person in your life?” Naturally the class responded with a list of family members, children, spouses…etc. My professor responded: “Wrong. The most important person in your life should be you. Because if you are not happy and do not do the things […]
Like a lot of people reading this post, I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about how to unlock the best of employees. But the workplace can be very demanding, right? And before you know it, your intentions of making your employees happy can quickly fall to the waist side due to high demands and strict […]
I remember when I didn’t plan for anything. I remember thinking….I don’t have time to plan! I’m too busy living. Heck, I was just trying to get through the day, the hour and the minute.

What you decide to do today can change your tomorrow. It’s your decision to make. It’s easy to walk around with a mindset that tomorrow will be a better day, but please understand that tomorrow doesn’t just get better on its own. It gets better when you become intentional about changing it!🌟 You must create […]
Sometimes we get so caught up in the pursuit of perfection without understanding and appreciating the value of being a work in progress. The progression stages are the most significant parts of our lives. It is where you learn the most about who you are and you are forced to see what God already sees […]
Sometimes we allow the people around us to talk us out of our blessings. I want to encourage you to focus on creating relationships with those who will invest in your growth. People will try to get you to quit pursuing your dream because they can’t see the vision. Don’t. You can do better. If […]

Every time we say “Yes” without thinking, we are mis-managing our time. Our time deserves much more consideration than it often receives. I’ve had to learn this lesson several times throughout my career and every time I tell myself “Mary, you should have thought about that more before committing….” I should really listen to myself […]
This past Sunday, I had an opportunity to share a little of my childhood story with my church. It was the first time I said anything about my past in a collective setting….it was hard. The difficulty didn’t stem from being afraid of what they may think about me, the hardest part for me was […]
