| Top 10 Reasons to Hire Mary for Your Next Event or in Your Organization |
|
1. Business women need practical advice. Now more than ever, women need more than a work-life balance prep talk or cliché “work smarter, not harder” career advice. All of Mary’s programs include specific ideas that women can use right away.
Studies show that having fun while learning decreases barriers and increases engagement. That’s why all of Mary’s presentations include a bit of humor and fun, even if it means donning a red cape! 3. You need more than a speaker, you need a partner. You are not producing events for some willy-nilly reason; you are producing them for a purpose. So, the first thing Mary wants to know is what you are trying to accomplish and everything about your event. Then she offers her best advice on how she can help you get the job done. If she believes she’s not the best person for you, she will tell you and offer a recommendation. 4. The difference is in the details. From organization-specific illustrations to eror-free error-free handouts to mingling with the audience before her program and more, Mary pays attention to the details that create an outstanding experience for everyone in the room. 5. Increased confidence means increased results. When a woman has both the “want to” and the “how to,” there’s no stopping her from making things happen for herself and her organization. That’s why Mary always speaks to a woman’s head and her heart in order to boost her confidence to create personal and professional results. 6. Sometimes it’s good to be fast, cheap and easy. Between constant change and decreased budgets, meeting planners need speakers who respond quickly, don’t break the bank, and are easy to work with. Mary gets it. Her background as AOL’s call center manager and hiring speakers as head of corporate training has left an indelible mark on her brain to “Do it, do it right, and do it right now.” Forget high maintenance and super high fees. Mary delivers a high value experience at a value price. 7. Real personal experiences and real research. Whether it’s her career, business or life experiences, Mary shares real stories of successes, missteps, and downright funny moments that delight and inform audiences. The stories she shares are combined with the latest research to illustrate the current challenges your audience is facing. 8. Flexible formats give you options. We live in a technology-infused world that offers cost-saving and time-saving benefits for organizations, especially those who are geographically dispersed. Teleseminars, webinars, webcasts, you name it, Mary is happy to work within your chosen methods. Of course, live keynotes, breakout sessions or short workshops work, too. (Big hunch, but her 10 years with AOL helping to bring the internet to the masses has something to do with it.) 9. Boring is not an option. How many times has a speaker or educator delivered a message in a way that induced a sleep coma? Whether in person or using virtual technology, boring is not an option! Mary herself detests dull, tedious, lackluster presentations and has vowed to never inflict such time-sucking tedium on your audience. No wonder Mary is often asked to present during the afternoon energy dip!
She threw away her pocket protector a long time ago, but behind her red lipstick and stylish clothes Mary’s engineering mindset can work to your advantage. Her analytical skills help determine what works best for your group. Her process skills make it easy to work with Mary and her team. And, her systems orientation enables her to see the big picture of how everything fits together. |
