Mary Believes….

If we allow ourselves the freedom to be creative, we can find a path we never thought possible. We can make an impact for the better through our thoughts and actions. By journeying together, we can do more and be stronger.

Regardless of her position or title, Mary remains focused on celebrating others’ individuality, and encouraging their authenticity. When she isn’t growing her business, Mary puts energy into the non-profit Madam President Camp and spending time with her husband as they raise their two young daughters.

Culture of Women

Do we celebrate women for their unique achievements, or reward a singular success? Do we applaud individuality, or encourage conformity? The answers lie in the language we use, the actions we take, and the support we show for each other.

We will explore the winding paths women’s careers travel and discuss the confidence challenges that began in youth. We will work together to create a culture of women and elevate each other to extend that culture beyond the room where we sit. This is the beginning of a movement to bring empowering strategies into the places women thrive; today, into tomorrow, and for years to come.

Create Something Unexpected

Let’s have a conversation about creativity. The kind of creativity that takes you back to the playground where make-believe was celebrated, finding new friends was easy, and the craziest ideas were the best ideas. It’s not arts and crafts — it’s brilliant free thinking that creates something unexpected and …

  • encourages your boldest ideas to be expressed without fear of being shut down.
  • leads to wild innovation moving you in a direction no one saw coming.
  • boosts confidence so you know your contribution is paramount.

Mary will guide you through three signature concepts that will ignite creativity, craft the extraordinary, & create something unexpected.

Presentation (Connection) Workshop

Master facilitator, Erin Fajen, and keynote speaker, Mary Messner, team up for this engaging workshop, designed to help you build and deliver impactful in-person presentations.

This isn’t your average workshop. We combine knowledge sharing, demonstration, and facilitated practice. We dig deep into storytelling, audience engagement, confidence, and content.

There will be laughter, learning, and maybe even a little bit of fire.

The Common Q&A

  • Who? This workshop is ideal for a 6-8 hour session, and designed for anyone delivering presentation with a goal of creating a strong connection with their audience — internal or external.
  • How many? 12 individuals is ideal, but this workshop can accommodate all size groups. We bring an additional facilitator for each set of six attendees beyond the initial 12. An investment of $1,200 will be added per additional facilitator.
