“MJ is a fantastic adult educator, keeping the class engaged with personal experiences and effective learning activities. This is honestly the most valuable training I have EVER received.

Read More"Mary-Jo is a leadership expert and a highly skilled facilitator. Having delivered over 20, 3-day leadership courses for us, my team and I got to know her well. We observed her innate ability to read, relate and master the dynamics of diverse groups of our front-line leaders; quickly engaging them and keeping them actively participating throughout the program. Her passion, authenticity and willingness to share her real-world leadership experiences, earns trust and credibility. Participants appreciated her unique ability to connect-the-dots between learning points, simplify concepts and deliver them in a way that they could grasp, apply and repeat. She never hesitated to provide additional coaching to participants on real-time situations. Had we not brought the facilitation of the content in-house, she would still be facilitating for us today. It brings me confidence in knowing she could support our leadership development programs when the need arises and I always look forward to working with her."

Read MoreIt is a rare opportunity to receive instruction from an individual as well informed, compelling, and effective as Ms. Williams has shown herself to be during my attendance at this course. Her energetic, focused and sustained exposition of this curriculum and leadership model demonstrates her clear belief in, and commitment to, its principles and application theory. Despite the challenges of operating within a demanding learning schedule, Ms. Williams was at all points highly receptive to our feedback, and sensitive to the degree of understanding our group was attaining.

I would highly recommend Mary-Jo to anyone out there seeking coaching support!

Read More"Our company was less than twenty people so I was skeptical about bringing in a Leadership Coach; having seen results of Mary-Jo’s services, our timing was perfect. I highly recommend that other company leaders’ partner with Mary-Jo to establish their people practices and leadership development. Mary-Jo guided us through the process of creating human resource and business strategies. Her expertise is evident in her practical and strategic approach to business."

Read More“On several occasions and in very different work industries I have hired Mary-Jo to build and deliver custom built leadership, customer service and soft-skills training. She is a masterful consultant, facilitator and content designer. She is passionate about what she does and invests significant time to learn about company culture, business goals and the needs of her participants. The result is custom learning content and the delivery of an engaging learning experience that builds skills and meets defined objectives. She provides practical tools participants’ can immediately use to transfer the learning to their everyday work-life. I have used Mary-Jo for all my leadership, customer service and soft-skills training needs in two different organizations. If you want return on investment from your training budget, hire Mary-Jo”.

Read MoreAt first I thought you were an excellent "work" coach and I still do. You always delivered our company’s leadership courses well and that's why I reached out to you in the first place. Your experience and delivery is very effective in the professional workplace. That's just the tip of the iceberg though, and I was so glad and grateful that our spheres were able to collide so you could teach me so much more. I'm sure you will be successful to continue coaching company staff, but I hope more people can get the same chance I did to experience your "real inner wisdom", energy, nurturing and healing – as their life coach.

Life-Skills Learning Participant
Read MoreI met MJ when I attended two workshops she facilitated in my workplace: one on communication, the other on leadership. Her teaching style was really engaging, which makes it easy to stay connected to the content and got me excited to apply the learnings in real life. MJ's view on life, work and personal development really resonated with me so I first hired MJ to support me as my coach in my Career Transition which eventually led to participating in her life-changing TRUE YOU mentoring program that encompassed life-coaching, life-skills learning and Reiki. I continue to work with MJ for coaching and Reiki to support my self-care and growth. I’ve experienced all of Mary- Jo’s services and I highly recommend that if you want positive life-changing results – you work with Mary-Jo.

Read MoreMary-Jo can not only teach and coach professionals to be better leaders and create more effective teams, but she can guide people on the journey to become the best versions of themselves. With her approachable, practical, and unwaveringly supportive style, I learned how to be a better mom, friend, wife, leader and team mate. I'll remember my coaching with Mary-Jo the remainder of my life because what and how she teaches makes the world a better place.

Read MoreMy first experience with Reiki was bewildering as I was unaware that energy could be felt so clearly in this manner. I felt relaxed, yet energized. Possibilities come into view. As my work with Mary-Jo continued the surprising thing was having just as exciting an experience both in person and long distance. Mind blowing!! I wholeheartedly recommend Mary-Jo as she is knowledge, gentle and compassionate about her work and her clients. So, if you are thinking you would like to venture into the world of energy work, specifically Reiki, MaryJo would be an excellent person to guide you on your journey.

Read MoreI was a newbie to Reiki when I first met Mary Jo. I had never experienced its benefits or truly understood what it even was. Mary Jo did an awesome job of teaching me about this modality of energy healing. She has magic hands and seems to know exactly what’s needed and where on the body to focus her attention. I would recommend Mary Jo to anyone who is wanting to understand and experience reiki in a safe, loving and caring environment.

Read MoreI’ve been a Reiki client of Mary-Jo’s for many years. She consistently provides experiences that help me relax my body and overly busy mind. I’ve come to prefer distance Reiki, as I can lay in my own bed at home vs. get in my car to travel home afterwards. Miraculously, it works exactly the same.
Thelma
Read MoreMary-Jo is a beautiful, gentle and gifted Reiki practitioner. I had never experienced Reiki before I met Mary-Jo and was apprehensive about the process. Immediately, she put me at ease, and created a space where I felt safe and protected. The experience was calm, peaceful and impactful. I now look forward to my Reiki sessions with Mary-Jo as I know I will leave feeing, refreshed, enlightened and confident. I am certain Mary-Jo brings the same experiences to all her clients.
