Mary LaFrancois, ACC, SHRM-SCP, SPHR

Mary has been guiding professionals through their work and life journeys for over 20 years. Her passion for this work steered her to professional development as a nationally certified coach. Combining her extensive experience, business knowledge, and coaching skills she successfully has helped her clients search for and release their greatest potential.

Coaching Philosophy

Mary believes what you see and do is influenced by your history, so you have blind spots or limiting beliefs that are a result of those previous experiences. Her perspective as a coach will help identify those blind spots and see how mindsets and behaviors that once served you are now getting in the way of your desired growth. Mary helps the client change the world around them with a new way of relating to what they see and hear. Once they see the new possibilities, they can experiment to see what will help them and start building the necessary and desired momentum.

Results Achieved

A healthcare executive struggled with leading her team through the uncertainty of the organization. Through reflective and awareness insight, she gained knowledge and foresight of her style, motivation, and listening skills. Over the course of coaching, she strengthened her communication and responsiveness to her team. She didn’t shy away from tough and uncomfortable conversations. By the conclusion of the engagement, she had the courage to embrace the ongoing uncertainty with a new mindset.
