Mary is a great coach and I learned so much from her. She knows when to interject and when to step away allowing the group to openly discuss the issue at hand. Three things I got from the programme: “The importance of talking to others when something is challenging you. Listening to the feedback. Reflect on the feedback received and put in place an action plan. – M. Kerrigan, Grow Mental Health
