We design programs that will truly ignite the passion and strengths in your organization.
The coaches at Spark InSight have designed a process that will help your people, your teams and your organization operate at its best. Our goal is to bring out the brilliance in each client. Helping you operate more efficiently with people and teams that are excited about your mission and vision.
We start with what we call “listening sessions”, getting to know who you are and what you need on all levels. We pay close attention to the nuances that make your organization unique. We are listening to what’s going on behind the scenes and uncovering what is beneath the behaviors and culture of the each individual team.
We work with leadership to co-design leadership off-sites that will truly impact and ignite your team’s brains, hearts and work. We look at all situations from an outside lens and take the best practices that we bring together from Corporate America, Professional Services and Hollywood to design a meaningful program for you.
Based upon what we see in the organizational behavior during the off-sites we can then design a long term and sustainable plan of action to keep your people growing and your teams engaged.
We customize all of our work to adjust to the specific needs and desires of each organization. Because of this we have the ability to inspire your people and enhance your strategy in order to attain the success you want and need for optimal results. Organizations who work with us will continue to notice a long term and sustainable difference in their people and their team’s attitudes and productivity as they move into the future.
Testimonials
“Mary and Mel work together strategically in a way that builds connection and respect across teams. They are articulate and well-versed in their craft. I found them in a time in my life when I was walled-off and going through the motions to perform my job at a high level, but my leadership was secondary. They helped me to grow and I quickly saw value in bringing others into their circle. After a few years, our teams are more synergistic than ever before. We know one another’s strengths and weaknesses. More importantly, we know how to handle ourselves and others when in high stress mode. I could not recommend their services enough.”
“Mary and Mel, I want to thank you for your work over these years, coaching me. Because of one of your “coaching assignments” for me to review my successes over the past ten years at the College of American Pathologists, I had great examples in hand when a colleague asked if they could nominate me for a Healthcare Leadership Award from the American College of Healthcare Executives. And look, I am receiving the award! Props to Ragan, too, for offering this coaching resource, too!”
“Mary is an exceptional career coach who brings her years of HR experience, great listening skills and holistic approach to bear in her career consulting engagements. She worked with me 1:1, on a weekly basis for several months to help me frame my priorities for my career and was an invaluable thought partner in helping me make key decisions about my career journey. She has a very solid and well vetted process to help you in your journey, and will also challenge you. You have to do the homework as what you put into it is what you get out of it. Lastly, she will also leverage her large personal network to help you in any way she can. I highly recommend her, and in fact have since recommended 2 clients to her!”
“I have had the pleasure of partnering with Mary on two fronts. She and her partner provide executive coaching to the members of our Communications Leadership Council at Ragan and the feedback from our membership has been outstanding. On the recruiting front, MVP has been a trusted counselor for us at Ragan. Mary’s intelligence, warmth and attention to detail and customer service are highly valued by me and my team. I highly recommend her for recruiting and executive coaching.”
“I have worked with Mary for over 4 years. She has been an incredible asset to help me navigate the day to day challenges I face managing a team of 50 as well as pushing me to think long-term about my company, my people, and my own development. Based on my experience, I have had several of my direct reports work with Mary to help successfully advance their own professional aspirations.”
“Mary works tirelessly to get beneath the surface and really understands the needs of an organization, and once armed with that info, does a tremendous job of finding candidates who are “spot on” and a great fit for the role and the company’s culture. She also does all this quickly and efficiently, and then follows through after the hire, ensuring that the new employees’ integration goes as smoothly as possible.”
“MVP is truly top notch. They brought us consistently outstanding talent, and had a keen understanding of our needs. Mary and her team are a pleasure to work with.”
“From executive recruiting to professional coaching, Mary and her team are some of the most talented and insightful professionals you will ever work with. They take the time to truly understand your business and have a terrific sense of candidates’ strengths and cultural fit. If you’re looking for a true partner for your business or your own career advancement, you owe it to yourself to work with Mary and her team.”
