STRATEGIC CONSULTING SERVICES FOR YOUR WORKPLACE
Organizational Transformation
To create a healthy corporate culture at work you need a plan- a system for analysis, development, implementation and sustainability. By using your own data, we can help you identify and better understand what makes your workplace tick, your priority challenges and your opportunities- the right things to do, at the right time. Actionable, evidence-based next steps help you to confidently support and maximize your efforts.
Personal Transformation
Programs to maximize employee leadership skills, self-awareness, personal health and resilience are key investments in your organization. These investments produce returns fully competitive with investments in new computer systems or training programs and, without which, the returns on those other investments cannot be fully realized. I will be your coach- to challenge your assumptions and provide a critical unbiased perspective to help you work smarter and more effectively.

What Clients Are Saying

I first met Mary-Lou MacDonald in her role as CEO of AWARE-NS. She quickly became an important mentor and coach to me. She was the keynote speaker for our provincial executive symposium on Mental Health. She inspired and motivated leaders from across the province in a powerful call to action which will not be easily forgotten. Her deep knowledge and subject matter expertise come from both an expansive study of the latest research as well as profound personal experience. She is an undeniable agent of positive cultural change.
