Mary walks her talk!
Fostered at 3 weeks old, then placed back with her family to return into care in her late teens Mary has really had to adopt a lot of learnings very early on in life. Mary has always said that she never regrets anything that has happened to her as it taught her from a very early age that some of life’s key ingredients are a combination of learnings, presences, healthy mindset, appreciation, good support system, lashes of self love and the determination and intention to always live your best life possible irrespective of the challenges thrown your way.
On top of all that Mary also chose to start her first business whilst studying her A levels, and went onto work international aged 19 and whilst at university.
Overcoming some amazing personal challenges Mary has dedicated her life to working with adults, young people and organisations all looking to become inspired and empowered around creating positive change.
As well as managing a busy coaching practice, Mentoring in schools and prisons, giving inspirational talks and being a mum, Mary is also in the midst of completing the first in a series of simple yet powerful, personal and professional coaching recipe books.
Whose dining at The Chef’s table?
With over 20 years of hands on coaching experience,10 years ago Mary officially launched The Life Chef, Recipes for Living, Working, Loving and Being. Recognising the strong parallels and metaphors around food, cooking and life, Mary has created a wide range of, personal and professional coaching recipes. The TLC Coaching Model has proven to be highly effective, easy to digest and incredibly practical.
“ Dear Mary I would like to thank you for an inspiring, thought provoking and enjoyable evening yesterday. The feedback has been very positive and everyone found the session very useful indeed. I think it had a lot to do with the food analogy, as well as your positive and bubbly approach. I look forward to meeting again with you soon. Once again, thank you. It has been a great pleasure….”
Whether it is your relationship, career, finances, parenting, motivation, emotional and mental well being, energy levels, performance, Mary has an uncanny ability to get straight to the heart of the matter.
