Mary is an author and her first book,
Peaceful Living: Daily Meditations for Living with Love, Healing and Compassion
which was published in October
2005. She is fast at work writing her second book on the topics of anger management, self-empathy and conflict resolution. It is scheduled to be published October 2006.
Mary’s first career was as a fundraiser in higher education, where her listening skills helped people realize their dreams and helped her raise millions of dollars for the universities where she worked. In these development positions, Mary saw herself as a bridge between the donor and the recipient, always seeking and finding solutions that were satisfying to all parties.
She ended this fifteen-year career to begin work with the newly-formed Flagstaff Center for Compassionate Communication, where she has been executive director since January 2004.
Mary’s guiding vision is to live in alignment with her Creator’s direction by helping people fully connect to themselves and their world so that they may experience more joy. Toward this end, she teaches Nonviolent Communication to children, adults, families, couples, and adolescents, and she works with organizations by offering individual or group workshops and facilitating organization-wide restructuring.
