Mary Jo Romeo
After a successful first career building and leading national sales teams, coaching others to reach for and realize their full potential is all I want to do now.
Whether it’s working one-on-one with an executive or with the entire C-suite team, my goal is to create a safe, open, confidential environment for people to dream big and believe ardently (as I do!) in their ability to achieve anything by changing in ways they never thought possible.
And now, the ‘official’ bio:
