I would tell anybody in the world that wants his or her executives taken to the next level, to grab Mary Kelly in a heartbeat. She has literally changed the course of history of our company, and took a senior team that was pretty good and made them absolutely terrific.

I have never worked with anybody like her in my career. What she has done for us cannot be measured in words. I give her the highest endorsement. She is absolutely fabulous.

If we had to name one individual who has made the most significant contribution to our agency in the past two and a half years, it would be, without a doubt, Mary Kelly.

In twenty-three years of managing a broad array of highly diverse talents across both mature and start-up organizations, I've worked with literally hundreds of consultants.

In organizational and leadership development, I can point to only three who've made a real and lasting difference. High on that short list is Mary Kelly.

Mary has an uncanny ability to get people to confront reality, to understand their strengths, to see and work around their blind spots. Those who resisted her arrival most became her strongest fans. And she gave me the chance to take over an organization that works.

I leveraged Mary Kelly's influence throughout our company, and we have realized a return on investment many, many times the cost of her services. Hiring her is one of those decisions I get to look back on and call a "homerun"!

Mary's executive training has helped me grow my business, and grow my abilities to handle the new responsibilities. Without her help my old style would have been a disaster waiting to happen and/or I would not have been able to catch the growth in my industry.

Mary Kelly is the best consultant – the best people person – we have ever had at John Ryan Company.

Mary Kelly is an extraordinary person. She has helped us define our roles as business partners, helped us define what we really want and has supported us in establishing a team to fulfill those intentions. It is magic to know that the things that cause anxiety can be changed.

Mary delivered a superlative consultation. Her efforts were the catalyst for a bunch of physicians to become a team of competent executives.

In reviewing the body of work we completed I am impressed by the breadth and depth of the development, and I am confident in the concepts and tools we have been given.

Mary Kelly pushes management to a new level. She is honest, forthright and very precise in the direction she gives management.

Mary is a careful listener, quickly grasps situations and makes specific recommendations - and she is an excellent communicator, using relevant examples that powerfully illustrate the point.

As design firm principals, it had never occurred to us that our firm itself could be "designed." Mary helped us organize the business appropriate to our needs as we doubled in size.

She also developed our management team - mostly people with little experience - into a cohesive, effective team and into effective managers individually.

Before I started working with Mary I thought I was an effective manager, and that the reason it wasn't working was my staff.

What Mary has provided is access to truly powerful, effective management skills that have transformed me and my staff to an entirely new level of performance.

I got a better awareness of what I use to win when I get backed into a corner. The consulting allowed us to move out of our repeating patterns and go forward. I don't even think about playing games anymore, because now I can communicate.
