“Mary is not only a lovely, engaging, enthusiastic and simply fun person to be around and work with, but she's whip smart when it comes to helping you "see the light" on your life and career.
I've had the pleasure of having several life altering conversations with her as she has an uncanny ability to get you to talk about things and look at your life in ways that I've not considered and have never articulated to anyone in my life personally or professionally.
I believe it's her sincere desire to help that enables these powerful conversations. And, when you combine that with her extensive experience in so many disciplines, plus her own rich life experience, she simply is unique in her ability to be that beacon of light in guiding you to believe you can achieve what you were meant to do or be,
Thank you, Mary!”

Mike Weiss,

“Mary Gardner is the public speaking coach that will propel you from being considered an excellent speaker to transforming into being branded as a polished professional speaker. Mary has an extensive history working with and building the careers of well-known speakers. Her approach is tough love nurturing to get you out of your comfort zone and be a bold, energetic speaker who connects with any audience. Significantly, few coaches can bring out your inner voice and teach you how to use vulnerability, creativity, and storytelling to "Wow" an audience. Mary teaches you how to connect with your audience deeply.
Mary has an impressive team of former broadcast news reporters, creative artists in the entertainment industry, and leaders in narrative speaking. They enthusiastically share their skills with her students during some of our Masterclasses. I marvel at the numerous impressive connections to amazing people in Mary's network. Her magical superpower is bringing people together to create unique opportunities on stage, in front of a camera, or through a digital channel.
I am grateful to have connected with coach Mary, her colleagues, and the lifelong friends I have met in her public speaking course.”

She didn’t just coach me — she architected a brand I can finally run with.

She’s a branding genius, a strategist, and someone who helps you believe bigger.”

“It was recognizing that my body needed a deep hug, it was like arriving home…the return to my refuge, my place, my center as a woman, to embrace my uterus and feel its pain and repressions…it has been the start of a journey of peace and integrity.
I surrender to the embrace of three healing women, guides of life and the tribe, it has been like a warm breeze during a summer afternoon, overlooking the Rio de la Plata River.
Over a year ago we did rituals to heal my feminine lineage. Forever thankful for that door that we have opened with great courage and depth. Today, my womanhood feels fulfilled, on the search of new dreams, challenged yet calm. The tigress is in peace, resting and cuddling the future puppies.
Thank you adored Cristina Drannikow, this is for the whole life.
I hug you and feel you in myself.”
