“In a word, Mary Gannon is “impressive,” mostly because she is an incredibly good listener.  It’s rare that I speak with a consultant who truly hears every last detail of what I’m trying to accomplish in a given project.  This is especially important for executive coaching sessions since CEO time is extremely valuable.  I would also say her finesse was extraordinary in her media and presentation session with First Industrial Realty’s CEO.”
- Sean O’Neill, SVP, Investor Relations, First Industrial Realty


“Either through individual or group sessions, Abbott managers have greatly benefited from Mary’s coaching on content organization, fielding questions and giving presentations across a variety of forums.  I noticed an immediate positive impact in how my presentations were received after adopting the skills gained through these sessions.  Mary Gannon really made everyone feel at ease.  I would highly recommend her for executive coaching to my business colleagues.”
