Ep. 185 How To Reconnect to What Lights You Up w| Mary Olsen-Menzel

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!

In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke interviews the fantastic Mary Olsen-Menzel. Mary has over 30 years of leadership across global media, tech, healthcare, and many other industries. She is the Founder and CEO of MVP Executive Development, a national leadership, coaching, and organizational management consultancy with offices in New York, Connecticut, and Illinois. Her clients range from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups with a broad reach of industries from FinTech to Football (the NFL). As a seasoned executive leadership coach, Mary works with companies and individuals to unlock the potential that improves business performance and catalyzes growth. Her coaching methods bring a fresh lens to business and a perspective that nurtures teamwork and helps drive results through grace, empathy, and "humane leadership." Before starting her company in 2012, Mary was a partner at two leading executive search firms. She also spent a decade at Tribune Company in Chicago as the National Managing Director of Talent, where she honed her understanding and expertise in recruiting and coaching. She worked closely with 20 newspapers, 27 television stations, and hundreds of digital assets nationwide to attract and retain the best and the brightest. In her early years, Mary worked in both the tech space and media and entertainment, where she started her career as a television reporter. Her innate curiosity and ability to connect with people paved the way for her life's work: helping leaders at all levels channel what “lights them up,” guiding and inspiring them towards more fulfilling and successful personal and professional journeys. Mary earned her MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business and a Bachelor’s in Communications and Public Relations from Illinois State University. Mary lives in Westchester, NY, with her husband, kids, and their Goldendoodle, Wrigley. She is a part of Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches, which brings together the world's leading executive coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, iconic leaders, and entrepreneurs. Mary volunteers for various local charities as well.
