Hi, I'm Mary-Jo
I am a champion of the human spirit and a wayshower (way-show-er).
I am passionate about helping people find their mojo and develop the confidence, clarity, skills, habits and well-being they need to: be their best selves, build better relationships, be better leaders and create a better world.
I believe each of us is born with our own unique set of: gifts, innate talents and aspirations that we are meant to re- discover, develop and share with the world. When YOU embrace your uniqueness, and develop & utilize YOUR gifts; YOU create a life YOU love & make a contribution to the world that only YOU can make.
I was born to learn, lead, heal, love, teach, support and guide others to realize their TRUE human and leadership potential. Mojo (the business) is an expression of who I am and what I believe I was born to do.
My innate talents & gifts discovered so far include: leadership, teaching, facilitating, supporting, guiding, designing, seeing patterns/connecting-the-dots, listening, service, insight, empathy, compassion, introversion, courage, resilience, my intuition, my sensitivity, and my voice.
I aspire to awaken hearts, expand minds and empower people to live authentically, love fearlessly, work joyfully and lead courageously - so together - we can create a world that values: emotional intelligence equal to cognitive intelligence; relationships above things; cooperation over competition; people before profit; love NOT fear.
My Core Values : truth, love, connection, empowerment, personal responsibility and continuous learning
Things that make my heart sing : learning; growing; teaching; deep conversation; witnessing people’s “aha moments”; sharing my “aha moments” with my husband; nature; walking (especially barefoot on a white sandy beach); singing; dancing; reading; quality time with my family, friends and two furry “kids” (cats); all the joyful and painful lessons I’ve learned (so far), the magic of the universe and making a meaningful difference in the world.
