arrow What clients say about Mary Beth:

"Mary Beth O'Neill’s executive coaching gave me the tools and clarity to become a far more effective leader and change agent. Mary Beth’s coaching enabled me to be much clearer about my expectations, work through resistance, and get everyone pulling hard in the same direction.
The bottom line was that we succeeded with a monumental organizational turnaround that had seemed impossible to accomplish. She helped generate outcomes and strengthen leadership in a way that exceeds anything that I, or my executive team, have ever experienced with other consultants -- truly transformative."

Eric Stevens 

CEO


"Our coaching conversations have had a significant impact on my effectiveness as CEO this year. You have helped me focus my expectations, particularly of my executive team, in a way that is more purposeful, thoughtful and better structured, allowing us to address the most significant issues facing our company."

Dennis Madsen 

CEO 



"Mary Beth brings a keen business focus to coaching by not just contributing insights but through helping me and my team gain the insights that we need to solve our own problems. She has the ability to see through the sometimes chaotic dialog and personalities in order to help a team focus on the real issues and dynamics that can impede organizations from achieving their goals.
Since working with Mary Beth (she doesn't get all the credit for our accomplishments, that goes to my leadership team), we have seen a significant reduction in employee turnover, improvement in our customer satisfaction scores, and quicker product release cycles, all leading to an improved bottom line."

John C. Nicol 

General Manager


"What I appreciate about Mary Beth is her ability to help me uncover possibilities that expose the underlying truths of a situation which reveal a solution that is elegant and effective."

James Fries 

Director, Human Resources & Operational Excellence
