Who Mary O'Neill & Associates Works With

 

"If you're not practicing at what you want to be,  you are practicing at what you don't want to become." - Pema Chodron Author, "Start Where You Are"

 

Mary O'Neill works with professionals who are committed to becoming more effective leaders and helping their team members grow by building a culture of cooperation, harmony and success.

	•	We work with corporate executives, business owners, professional service providers, healthcare teams and educational institutions, who recognize that their ability to create high quality, productive relationships is one of the most important factors to their success.
	•	While they are blessed with superior business skills, they want to develop greater competencies in the areas of team building, communication and conflict resolution, so they can resolve differences quickly and economically and keep their team on task.

 

Most importantly, Mary's clients know that their team's inability to get along:

	•	spoils relationships
	•	negatively impacts performance
	•	negatively impacts production and profitability
	•	impedes progress towards goals
	•	obstructs both short and long term vision

 

Yet relatively few business professionals know how to skillfully deal with these kinds of relationship challenges that occur in every workplace. So, they hire Mary to help them accelerate their success.

 

Do any of these statements ring true for you?
	•	A shared, compelling vision seems to be lacking
	•	Communication has broken down; trust and respect has eroded
	•	Conflicts are not being addressed quickly - or sometimes too quickly!
	•	Personalities are clashing, gossip has increased
	•	Tension has grown among team members
	•	Bad attitudes have brought others down
	•	You've interceded and "failed"; now you've lost your mojo!
	•	Professed values are not in alignment with some team members' actions
	•	Team meetings are unproductive, perceived as a "waste of time"
	•	Goals are unclear, or not being met; production is inconsistent
	•	Performance reviews are not routinely done; when they are, they're not ideal
	•	Some team members leave early; some are consistently late
	•	Follow through and thoroughness is lacking
	•	Much-needed training is not happening
	•	A less-than-an-ideal climate of cooperation and teamwork exists
	•	Individual accountability is a problem
