As someone who has been a beacon of hope and an unwavering advocate for the potential that lies within each of us, Mary’s insights and wisdom are not just enlightening; they’re transformative. In our conversation, we traverse the landscape of what it means to engage in “brave thinking” — a philosophy that Mary has not only preached but practiced throughout her remarkable career. As a speaker, best-selling author, and a visionary leader, Mary brings a wealth of experience and a treasure trove of stories that illustrate the power of our thoughts, the significance of our dreams, and the incredible potential for change that exists within all of us.
