Hi, I'm Mary. My mission is to create pro-human work cultures where the business and the human beings who happen to be employees can both thrive.

The HR professional in me started blooming on my family's farm in my teens. I bring my lifelong experience to my coaching, training and consulting, specializing in helping people grow, be more productive, and thrive, aka talent development, performance management, and employee experience. I publish on these topics and more at maryschaefer.com, bizcatalyst360.com, leadchangegroup.com, and CIO.com.

I help leaders, managers and business owners who need manager-employee communication breakthroughs. I also help employees to navigate the sometimes tricky terrain at work.
