Mary and Lara did a three day leadership training me, peers and managers at Amnesty International UK in 2020. The training itself was deeply engaging, hugely eye opening and informative and mostly importantly, transformative. When we left the training, I worried that so often with these intensive experiences you think you'll change things and that others will too but you just fall back into your old ways work working. But not with this, so many of us implemented our learnings about ourselves (self awareness and insight into our colleagues who we got to know much better in the training), our new management and leadership techniques (more of a coaching approach and performance management as a proactive and positive approach for example) and some frameworks (for thinking, negotiating challenges and finding solutions together) that it felt on a peer level and beyond like a new era. One of great collaboration, consideration and effective solution finding. In addition, Mary's ongoing coaching helped me through some challenging periods by providing focus, insight and the tools to manage challenges with more easy, calm, focus and direction. Mary is an exceptional teacher, coach and person. I will be forever grateful to have met her and learned all of these lessons from her and Lara, which over 2 years later I still think about often. I can't recommend working with Mary enough. I think if every organisation did, we would live in a very different world. A kinder and more productive one.
