What people say
Claire Austin, Group Manager's testimonial
Mary is one of the best gardeners of innovation I know! She has an innate ability to engage others rapidly, regardless of their point of view – whether in a group setting or one-to-one. She creates an environment of trust that respects differing ideas, engendering open and free discussion. She fertilises the ground for the growth of new ideas. Many times, I have observed Mary guide polarised individuals and groups to embrace a new approach with a strong sense of ownership and the motivation to drive things forward. That’s how real change happens!
