Mary Lee Gannon is a cultural turnaround, productivity and leadership
expert who is living proof that leading from a perspective of well defined
values and strategies can turn a company or one’s personal life around
no matter what the odds. Her book “Starting Over – 25 Rules When You’ve
Bottomed Out,” her presentations, her published articles and her Web site
at www.StartingOverNow.com are full of specific hands-on tactics that help
companies develop leaders as well as help people make ultimate use of
their time, be a problem solver, be more persuasive, uncover hidden
opportunities, and share compassion all while keeping a healthy life
balance.
At the age of 35 Mary Lee was a stay-at-home mother with four children
under seven-years-old living in an unpalatable marriage behind the
facade of a country club life. She filed for divorce as a leap of faith and a
few months later she realized an overwhelming avalanche of litigation and
anger that resulted in her and the children going from a lovely residential
suburb to being homeless, carless, hungry and on welfare.
She understood then that she was going to be the one to provide for her
and her four children and had to figure out a way to do that. Public
assistance was not the way she wanted to live her life. She had done the
big cry and a lot of asking, “Why me?” but that got her nothing but more
paralyzed with fear. She had an allied health degree at which she was
making $27,000 a year when she left the workforce to raise her children
and knew that would not be enough for them to live on so she created a
life plan around the things she loved and in which she excelled.
She identified her strengths and weaknesses. She developed her
transferable skills. And she developed her sales skills to go on to
become the executive director of a trade association where she also
pursued and earned the designation of Certified Association Executive.
From there she went on to be a self employed public relations consultant,
journalist and business writer, all work she did from home while her
children were young. When she needed adequate benefits for herself and
the children after the divorce, she decided to enter the corporate world.
She taught herself how to network, fundraise and negotiate and ultimately
went on to be the President and CEO of a large hospital foundation and
national speaker – a far cry from welfare.
