Mary Ottman - International Leadership Speaker

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 an alignment of their values with their organization's mission. What's more, today's employees have an extremely low tolerance for toxic leadership. Today's workforce doesn't suffer in silence under a bad leader. They leave. Period.

And it's not just new employees walking out the door. Roughly half of high performers left their organizations in 2022 alone. And a large number of departing employees blame it on bad bosses.

There's no question about it. Poorly trained leaders are a direct threat to your bottom line.

That's where Mary comes in!

Today's up-and-coming leaders are facing more challenges than ever:

* The need to quickly ramp up and become a confident, effective leader
* Effectively communicating with multiple generations
* Adapting their leadership style between different personality types such as introverted and extroverted
* Leading remote and on-site employees effectively
* Leading and encouraging a rising number of employees experiencing anxiety and depression
* Leading a rising number of employees struggling with focus and concentration due to conditions like ADHD

Today, through her keynotes and workshops, Mary helps aspiring, new, and mid-level managers become Confident, Purposeful, and Productive Leaders.

Since leaving her 27+ year career as an executive leader in the Army, Mary has spoken on prestigious stages, such as the United Nations, where she was also awarded the Presidential Service Award.

She is an author, a TEDx speaker, and a Certified Leadership Coach. She has an MBA and an MA in Leadership and was 2x awarded the Army Commander's Award for Civilian Service.

Mary Ottman has been globally featured in national and international media on four continents including NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, AP News, Morningstar, The World Newswire, and many more.

During her 27+ year career in the 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 effective leadership training and got some experience under her belt, she greatly enjoyed empowering her introverted, brilliant team members to become confident and highly productive. She enjoyed it so much that she felt called to do more.

Today, Mary helps aspiring, new, and mid-level managers become Confident, Purposeful, and Productive Leaders.
