Workshops for corporations and organizations

A successful businesswoman and frequent lecturer to women's leadership organizations, Mary Olsen Kelly uses the pearl as a metaphor for overcoming challenges in business. The birth of a pearl—from irritant and nucleus, through stages of layering and growth, to the development of the final completed work of art—is analogous to the stages through which businesses move. Each new venture, each new project is the nucleus of a potential pearl. In her practical and inspirational talk, Mary shares techniques for transforming our business challenges into pearls of success. Corporations in transition will appreciate Mary's gift in helping them recharge values.

For those seeking personal growth

A leader in the consciousness movement and a survivor of many life challenges herself, Mary presents interactive workshops for people seeking growth and creative renewal. Her popular “Discover Your Inner Pearls” workshops use the pearl as a springboard for powerful inner exploration. Like the pearl oyster that turns an irritant into art, Mary's workshops teach us how to transform challenges into opportunities, annoyances into love, and imperfections into gifts. Survivors of illness and their families find tremendous healing in these workshops, too.
