Today on Getting Social with Miriam, I had a phenomenal guest. Before I dive right into it, I just want to mention that if you are a business owner, you are very familiar with the struggles you face. Even if you are not a business owner, you likely hear about companies popping up and then a short time later, they fall. It is an unfortunate fact that many business owners are unable to run their businesses properly, and my guest today, Mary Kelly, PhD is going to be talking about how business owners can run their businesses efficiently so they end up succeeding in the end. Kelly is a nationally recognized and renowned economist and leadership expert specializing in improving business efficiency and maximizing available resources.
A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Mary has trained over 40,000 military and civilian personnel in multi-cultural environments around the world. She served 21 years as a commissioned officer in the Navy, and retired as a commander.
A university business and economics professor, Mary combines theory and practicality. With extensive experience in human resources, finance, insurance, organizational leadership, strategic planning, and project development, she focuses on building successful strategies for business leaders at all levels of an organization.
Mary?s passion is helping people excel in business. An energetic, engaging and perceptive leadership coach and speaker, Mary delivers humorous, inspiring, and insightful keynote speeches, offering tools and insights that increase productivity, morale, and profits.
As a consultant, creative and insightful problem-solving abilities enable her to transform corporate cultures and structures.
Mary is the author of several books, including:
- Master Your World: 10 Dog-Inspired Lessons to Increase Productivity, Profits and Communication
