The leadership crisis no one's talking about
For over 15 years, I've watched organizations promote their best "doers" into leadership positions..
And it's costing organizations more than they realize:
- High turnover rates due to poor management
- Decreased employee satisfaction
- Lost productivity
- Damaged team dynamics
- Stressed and overwhelmed new leaders
The Hidden Truth About Leadership Development
After supporting dozens of organizations and working with hundreds of new leaders, I've discovered something critical:
We keep making the same costly mistake: Waiting until AFTER someone becomes a leader to teach them how to lead.
This creates a painful cycle:
- High performers get promoted without proper training
- They struggle to transition from "doing" to "leading"
- Their teams suffer while they learn through trial and error
- Both the new leader and their team become frustrated
- Performance drops, people leave, and the cycle continues
But What If There Was a Better Way?
Imagine if you could:
- Build a steady pipeline of prepared leaders BEFORE you need them
- Ensure your high performers are ready to lead from day one
- Decrease turnover attributed to poor management
- Boost employee satisfaction and team performance
- Create a culture of continuous leadership development
This is exactly why I created LeadReady.

“Even years later, I remember Mary’s training sessions. I remember how I felt, what I saw, what I heard and how the content connected to my job. As Director of Learning for a corporate university, those outcomes were exactly what I wanted in a training session – memorable content and motivated learners with the capacity to use that content to improve performance.
Mary is a master facilitator with a deep understanding of adult learning principles who can skillfully guide participants to interact with each other and the content. She creates a safe and engaging learning environment and uses strategies that help groups achieve learning objectives and to acquire new skills, knowledge, and attitudes related to these objectives."
