Imagine a workplace where individuals bring their full potential, passion, and energy every day. My mission is to help leaders build such environments—places where people feel valued, engaged, and ready to thrive.As a Leadership Development Coach and Trainer, I partner with leaders to create human-centered cultures that empower people to bring their unique talents and energy to the workplace. My work is rooted in the belief that people are not just what they do, but who they are. This philosophy, which I call “Put Who First,” fosters a culture of conscious engagement that goes beyond day-to-day tasks, allowing individuals and teams to show up fully and authentically. The result? A workplace where everyone knows they matter, and where organizational success naturally follows.With over 30 years in Leadership and Organizational Development, I am a PCC-certified Coach, with additional certifications in Emotional Intelligence, Conversational Intelligence®, Conflict Mediation, and Life Mastery. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege to share my approach as a keynote speaker at conferences, International Women’s Day, and other notable events. Currently, I’m channeling my passion into my upcoming book, "Put Who First: How to Lead in Wise Relationship with Yourself and Others" — I’m both excited and scared!If you’re ready to foster a culture where people can truly connect, grow, and excel, let’s connect for a discovery call to explore how I can support your leadership and team development goals.📞 +353 87 2845795 | 📧 hello@maryannmcgowan.com | 🌐 www.maryannmcgowan.comSome Kind Words:"Mary Ann has been instrumental in helping us shape, design, and deliver our leadership development programme in the EMEA region.
