Meet Mary
Grounded in science.
Proven in real work.
Mary has led high-performing field and matrix teams through product launches, national rollouts, and organizational transformations. Across her career, she has trained and developed more than 100 cross-functional teams.
As an executive coach and team mediator, Mary creates an environment that is safe enough for candor and focused enough for results. She helps people examine how they show up, understand one another more clearly, and turn insight into practical action.
Her work is rooted in a simple, faith-informed belief: every person has inherent value and the ability to positively influence the people, teams, and culture around them.

What’s different
The human side of work, meets the performance side of business.
This work is grounded in the science of human behavior and focused on the everyday behaviors that decide how teams actually perform: how people align, communicate, hold one another accountable, navigate conflict, make decisions, respond to challenges, and shape the culture around them.
Rather than theory or one-size-fits-all training, AlignUP builds highly practical, engaging experiences around the real challenges your teams face. People leave with behaviors they can use immediately.
High performance isn’t about getting more out of people. It’s about creating the conditions that let people bring their best—which is also how you get stronger teams, healthier cultures, and better results.
Can you customize this for our specific team or situation?
Always. Every session is built around what your team is actually facing.
What would an engagement look like?
Most sessions are delivered live and are highly interactive. Everything is available virtually, though live tends to be the better learning experience.
How do you make the learning stick?
Every session includes follow-up and pull-through learning, so the behaviors keep showing up after the room clears.
Do you work with teams that are already performing well?
Yes—strong teams looking to get better, and teams working through something hard.
Can you build a learning journey instead of a one-time workshop?
Yes, and that’s where this work is at its best. One-time sessions are available, but a journey creates lasting change.
