“I took on a new role as a member of my organization’s corporate board. Adjusting to this role was significantly faster and more successful with the coaching I received from Mary Jo. She helped me to understand my impact and relationships with others and find ways to motivate my staff by identifying goals and coming up with an action plan to successfully achieve them. I found Mary Jo’s goals to be more focused on my goals and more cost-effective than attending an executive training course”

“Recently, I decided to make a career change and realized the environment I was moving into would be very challenging. So instead of blindly moving forward and making decisions solely based on my past experience, I decided that I would call a “time-out” and go to the sidelines to confirm with a person who could objectively help me confront the challenge. Mary Jo’s experience as a Leadership Coach helped to reinforce many of the decisions I had to make and directed me to deal with them head-on. Her ongoing counsel is the shoulder I need to lean-on during my transition.”
- Marketing Director, Health Care
“Mary Jo was patient, open and willing to listen to our needs. She asked thought-provoking questions that opened us up to new insights about ourselves and others whose behavior and work style differs from our own.
We plan to continue our relationship with Mary Jo because we saw tangible improvement in our working relationships as a result of her presentation. I would highly recommend Mary Jo Asmus to other individuals and organizations aspiring to excellence.”
