Mary is a Time to Think Consultant, Coach, Facilitator, and Teacher, who is on a mission to introduce others to the benefits of a Thinking Environment® for unlocking fresh and brave thinking.
When Mary encountered the Thinking Environment® during her training as an Executive Coach, it captured her imagination and led her to sign up to learn more. Having experienced how generative attention and incisive questioning freed her to think courageously for herself, she left a senior role in the public service in order to train as a Time to Think Coach.
She built on her commitment to this way of being by training as a Facilitator and Teacher of accredited Time to Think Programmes. In 2024, her passion for this work led her to qualify as a Time to Think Consultant.
As a Coach and Mentor, Mary encourages individuals to think clearly and with confidence, to discover their own answers, so that they can make better decisions for themselves.
In her work with teams and groups, she helps them access the highest quality thinking individually and collectively, in a focussed and time-efficient way. As a Facilitator, Mary uses the structured yet easeful Thinking Environment framework to unlock creative and collaborative thinking so that people can tackle challenges, find sustainable solutions and have better outcomes.
On her experiential Programmes, she provides people with boundaried time where they can think with rigor and depth, and the opportunity to learn and practice listening skills that empower and inspire others.
Mary’s career experience at senior level in both HR and operational roles, combined with her subsequent expertise as an Organisational Consultant, gives her a real understanding of the challenges faced by people leading and working in teams and organisations.
As well as her accreditation as a Time to Think Consultant, Teacher, Coach and Facilitator, Mary is a trained Mediator and a Chartered Fellow of CIPD.
She has a MSc in Organisational Behaviour (Trinity College Dublin), an MA in Public Management (Institute of Public Administration) and Diplomas in Employment Law (King’s Inns) and Executive Coaching (Irish Management Institute). She is accredited in delivery of Roche Martin’s Emotional Capital Report (360).
