Mrs. Ottman is such a professional businesswoman with a witty, quirky personality that can make an audience laugh. It's the way she reflects her voice, thoughts, and experiences to the crowd that makes her so inspiring and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to hire her. She did a virtual speaker event at St. Edward's University and was absolutely incredible.

Response from Mary Ottman - International Leadership Speaker:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sofia. I appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback. It was absolutely my pleasure to speak at your event!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARY! She was very quick to communicate, flexible & accommodating. She really took the time to ask questions to determine the audience needs, topics that would be the best fit. She delivered great insight and relevant information, all with her lively personality & humor. She made it interactive & fun. Her presentation, "How to Be Heard, When You Are Mute ", was extremely relatable in the current work climate. Presenting on Zoom, she was inclusive and it felt like we were all together in the same room. She included lots of practical tips that we could put into action immediately. ( I already made a change she recommended )
She was even kind enough to do a give away - that was complete generous & unexpected. She was the best presenter we've had a long time.
Hope to hear her speak again soon.

What to Expect
Listen, it's a jungle out there!
Today's work environment is increasingly chaotic due to rapidly changing customer requirements. In addition, employees are seeking to align their values with their organization's mission. Even more critical to your bottom line, today's employees have an extremely low tolerance for toxic leadership.
These challenges are even more daunting in the tech industry. The turnover rate in the tech industry is higher than almost any other sector in business, so effective leadership skills are a MUST.
Today's workforce doesn't suffer in silence under a bad leader. They leave. Period.
That's where Mary comes in!
Today, through her keynotes and workshops, Mary helps aspiring, new, and mid-level technology and introverted managers become Confident, Purposeful, and Productive Leaders.

Mary provides a dynamic, engaging experience for your audience packed with tips and tools they can use immediately. In addition, Mary delivers prompt communication during the planning phase before your event, during your event, and during the debriefing afterward.

About
Mary Ottman is an award-winning Army executive leader, bestselling author, international leadership speaker, TEDx speaker and 2x Certified Leadership Coach.
She has spoken at the United Nations, received the President’s Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Award, and was selected by a three-star general to be featured in Faces of the Force, a US Army publication. Mary is a 2x recipient of the US Army Commander’s Award and has an MBA and MA in Leadership and Management.
During her 27+ years career in Army Civil Service, she worked her way up from software engineer to Associate Director of 150 rocket scientists. As a software engineer, she was successful in her technical career, which was a great thing. It was the springboard to her first leadership position.
But wow! She had no idea that her technical expertise had not prepared her for the most difficult part of leadership. She had not been trained on how to effectively lead people!
Once she received targeted, high-powered leadership training combined with her experience, she mentored and empowered her introverted, brilliant team members to become confident and highly productive. She enjoyed it so much she felt called to do more.
Today, Mary helps aspiring, new, and mid-level managers become Confident, Purposeful, and Productive Leaders.
If you are looking for a dynamic, engaging leadership speaker who will provide an empowering experience for your audience, reach out to Mary. She will deliver a talk that meets the goals for your event and equips your up-and-coming technology and introverted leaders to become more confident, purposeful, and productive.
