Mary McGuire is a consultant and author as well as the founder of Agents2Change. She is also the creator of the Professional Women's Playbook. Following a childhood of challenging circumstances and little early education, Mary went back into the educational system to gain her Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Social Work. She found her passion in organizational performance and started her business, Agents2Change, where she has worked with some of the most prominent organizations in the world to help develop and engage employees. As the founder of Find Your Joyful Life and the author of The Female EDGE, Mary helps women explore their more profound nature and transform their lives.
Today, Mary joins me to share how her challenging childhood helped her build resilience. She reveals how she overcame her internal barriers and other peoples’ expectations to find her authentic path. She shares what inspired her to move from social work to corporate consulting and some of the challenges she experienced in a male-dominated industry. Mary also reveals how her programs help women find ‘the female edge’ and how she is expanding her reach across various industries.
