“Mary is energizing! Like an athletic coach, Mary taught me new skills and better and more efficient ways of performing tasks and pushed me to utilize and prioritize the business development skills I already had. Her approach was individualized, and she took the time to learn my practice area and the firm’s culture and business models. I felt like I had someone in my corner, as well as someone I could brainstorm with who had fresh eyes. I looked forward to our calls. Mary celebrated my successes and helped me to remember how important ongoing client and community contact is for client development.”

“As a former practicing lawyer, Mary brings both insight and credibility to complex strategic initiatives. She is not afraid to raise difficult issues and challenge us where we need to be challenged.”

“Mary is a business development coach extraordinaire. She helped me grow my practice exponentially while honing my ability to anticipate my clients’ needs. I began working with Mary as a new junior partner. With her assistance, I achieved career milestones including being appointed to the firm’s executive committee and ranking as one of the highest business developers in my practice.”

“Mary was amazing at taking the daunting idea of “building my own business” and breaking it down into tangible steps that suited my personality, style, and comfort level. On our regular calls, Mary would provide me with encouragement, build my confidence that I was indeed on track, help me work through thornier political issues related both to clients and within my own firm, and suggest specific next steps when I was stuck. To see how far I’ve come from when I first started working with Mary is truly unbelievable.”
