Meet Mary Jo
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:
At MJR Coaching+Consulting, I bring decades of valuable experience to my individual, team, and corporate clients. I am known for my positive energy, passion for connection, and ability to see what can be. Partnering with me enables coaching clients to turn their ambition into action.
I am a Columbia University Certified Executive Coach and PCC level coach through ICF. Executives and leaders rely on my experience leading national sales teams and growing businesses. Areas of focus include leadership, communication, transformation, sales, and women’s advancement.
All my clients benefit from a laser-focus on agreed-upon outcomes to fuel their success. A communications expert, I weave in tools and techniques to elevate executive presence, storytelling, presenting, interviewing, and overall communication. During a coaching partnership, I use various assessments to delve into thinking preferences, emotional intelligence, strengths, and how clients are seen by their colleagues, managers, and clients. Clients change in ways they never thought possible.
I create and facilitate custom virtual and in-person workshops on a variety of topics and consult with companies on business growth. As a highly regarded senior executive leading national sales, advertising, and marketing teams, I have worked for top companies and start-ups including Johnson & Johnson, and The Weather Channel. I have extensive experience working with blue chip companies such as Google, Amazon, Delta, and NBC Universal.
In 2023, I was recognized as an inaugural SC Biz News Icon for Lowcountry. In part for the dedication I have to giving back and partnering with nonprofit groups. I have led workshops and been recognized for many contributions by the YWCA of Greater Charleston, Trident Literacy and She Runs It in New York.
