I just attended your seminar, “Top 10 Secrets to Developing Charisma and a Magnetic Personality.” It was not your ordinary lecture, everyone was having a wonderful time and learning great skills at the same time. I personally learned new information and reinforced ideas I had previously heard. You came across as the perfect example and a great model of what you were teaching. It was great to see your energy, attentiveness, and warmth as well as your desire to help others to better themselves. Thanks again for a great seminar. Sincerely, She was both entertaining and informative. There was plenty of hands-on participation. Such as telling the group what really interests you and enjoy doing. This was done to get you into the mood and show to others what a delightful person you are. Mary is full of energy that rubs off on you and others in the class. Mary takes the time to guide you by-the-hand so there is a clear understanding on how to appeal attractive and shine to others. After the class you feel refreshed and energized, like putting in a new set of batteries. Mary is just a fun person to be with. I recommend Mary’s course to anyone who wants to get ahead in life and feel good about themselves. I know Mary has had a great impact on my life. I am able to open up to people and talk in front of groups. Being a shy person I was always afraid to talk to people. Mary has given me support in my quest to seek out people. Thank you,
The format and content were very interesting, and I learned a number of useful techniques to put into practice. As an experienced teacher, I understood immediately that your interactive presentation style is exactly what is needed to hold and maintain audience attention. You obviously practice that which you preach. But the fundamental key to your success is you. The course was interesting and effective because of you. I anticipate registering for other courses that you teach, and I will recommend the same to colleagues and others who could benefit. It was a delight getting to know you and to participate in your wonderful class. Sincerely, I was enchanted with your presentation on charisma! . I am writing to let you now how much I enjoyed your warmth and style, and that it was obvious that you brought magic into people's lives. It was a truly wonderful event! Sincerely, “…Her high energy and willingness to share with the group allowed us to feel free to ask questions. Mary’s approach to presenting a workshop was professional, nurturing, and encouraging. The time flew by very quickly. Having been so impressed with Mary Gardner, I took another workshop … Again, Mary had the class laughing, sharing, enjoying, and learning. There was never a dull moment. As a workshop presenter myself, I congratulate and complement Mary on her dedication, professionalism and charisma. She is delightful and I encourage others to attend her workshop…” Sincerely, I would like to thank you very much for providing an incredible seminar on how to develop charisma. This was my first time ever going to a seminar of this type and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I am only eighteen so I thought I’d feel very out of place. However, you made me feel very comfortable and you created a relaxed, interactive environment in which I had all my questions answered and I learned a lot. I like how we were taught concepts and then given the opportunity to utilize them with the other people in the seminar. The two and half hours that the seminar took went by very, very quickly and all the information I learned is applicable to all parts of my life. I couldn’t have been any happier with the value of the information I received. Being a freshman at NYU and the owner of a web development firm I feel that I will be able to use the skills I learned both in networking and in small talking with people at school. Little things that have always bothered me such as what I should do with my hands after I shake somebody’s hand and how long I should hold a handshake will never bother me again. Another aspect of the seminar that I really liked is your enthusiasm and unconditional willingness to help all of us. You didn’t want us to buy a book or register to be coached by you. You just wanted to help us and I really felt it. I wish you good luck in all your future endeavors, and I look forward to attending more of your seminars. Sincerely, In every class she gives a wealth of information that I have found, and other people I’ve talked to in her classes have found, invaluable. Her classes are extraordinary in every way. Not only the invaluable information but her ability to present it in a way that involves, motivates, and uplifts her audience. Mary not only has talent, but also the character, vision, and deep commitment to help people improve their lives. To watch her is truly experience being in the presence of someone who deeply cares about each member of her audience as individuals and is committed to helping them achieve their dreams. Part of the success of her seminars is that through exercises and questions she is able to get to know each individual and give them feedback on a one to one basis. When she senses someone has a larger problem that is preventing them from participating she will move off center stage to come into the audience. She will then sit beside them, look into their eyes and give them her undivided attention. She will continue to work with them until she has found a way for them to move forward toward achieving their goals. This passion and commitment to finding out about each person and caring about them as individuals creates a successful team environment. In Mary’s seminars we all become one big, enthusiastic team. No one ever left on the sidelines. Everyone becomes a part of everyone else’s success and you can feel the energy rising. You always leave wanting more! I sincerely believe that Mary Gardner will be a major star in the near future, and we fortunate at this point in time to be able to have the benefit of her classes. I am, therefore, hoping more of her classes will be offered while she is still available. Quite simply, meeting Mary and having the good fortune to be able to attend even one of her seminars has changed the direction of my life dramatically. Sincerely, “…In particular, I am writing to compliment the instructor of the class, May Gardner. As I am sure you already are aware, she is a very capable and accomplished teacher and speaker but what made the class especially enjoyable was her enthusiasm and dynamic presentation of the subject matter…” Sincere regards, Jana Emerick
I enjoyed your presentation and identified with many of your personal stories. I loved your energy and zest for life. Thank you for putting yourself out in the world. You make it a better place. God bless you. Mary, Most speakers are not lively, fun nor interactive. You stood out from the crowd! Great Job! Celebrity & Professional Speech Coaching Testimonials

Very truly yours, This letter is in reference to my coaching experience with Mary Gardner. May in one word is Exceptional. She is wise beyond her years with incredible insight and intuition. My experience working with Mary was not limited to just Career/Business it also fell into "Life Skills." I met Mary after I had just sold my business. I needed a Coach to help me find a new direction. Since I am too young to sit around and watch the market all day I needed someone with high level experience to coach me with hard life decisions. Mary's gift of instinct and intuition have helped me enormously! I have attended the Anthony Robbins seminars and several others in the personal development arena including Dale Carnegie. In all cases I have found Mary's teachings to be at or above the level of any of these other highly successful organizations. One of the things I respected most about Mary is that she does her homework. Every Coaching session was full of valuable well researched information that pertained to our discussions. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Mary is not afraid to give hard advice that we must hear in order for us to get to where we need to be. This past summer I was able to watch Mary at one of her live training sessions. She was Phenomenal! Her crowd was not an easy one at all. She is the next Leza Gibbons except improved. Her presence in front of a crowd was as if she had been training with all of the top talk show hosts and took the best from each of them. If you get the opportunity to work with Mary at any level I would ighly recommend it. She has helped me in my work and has inspired me to push beyond my own limits both professionally and personally. Sincerely,
I first met Mary Gardner about a year ago at a seminar that she was presenting on coaching. I was sufficiently impressed with her that when I started to coach shortly thereafter, I was quick to engage her as a mentor. Since then she has become my personal coach and friend. I simply cannot say enough about Mary. She is brilliant, highly experienced, extremely well read and graciously resourceful. She has, on occasion, provided me with valuable references as well as introductions to people prominent in the field. However, the best things that I can say about Mary involve her personal coaching! She has managed to bring me, a former engineer turned psychotherapist, out of semi-retirement and into a new life as a coach and seminar presenter! She has done all this without any overt direction but, rather, by simply asking me a series of pertinent questions. Moreover, she has assisted me in the obtaining of formalized training via an enrollment in COACHU and local seminars. Additionally, her skills are even more evident when she provides mentoring! Other than when I ask purely procedural questions, she does not give any overt direction. She prefers, rather, to deal with the questions that come up in the course of my practice. Here again, she is inclined to support, validate and endorse my efforts, where possible, while asking me a series of pertinent questions, the answers to which challenge me to continue on further, and now, in a possibly improved direction! To date, I have taken no less than nine courses and have attended the International Coach Federation conference in Scottsdale , Arizona . However, I feel that the vast majority of my training has, thus far, come from Mary, whom I consider a master coach! Joseph Sibilla

As a recent participant in one of Mary’s classes at the Seminar Center I was most intrigued by Mary’s presentation, charm, and CHARISMA!! As a latecomer to the class I hesitantly knocked at the door and proceeded to politely ask if I may join the class. Mary, standing atop of a chair, greeted me warmly with a bright smile and invitingly motioned for me to have a seat and enjoy the rest of the evening with her. I felt at ease with the welcome and knew from that point and on, that I stood to gain a lot from this charismatic, energetic, woman conducting the seminar. Her flair and charm was mesmerizing. She dealt with each individual attentively and warmly. There was so much positive electricity in the room. Mary aimed at guiding each individual towards becoming more aware of their social habits, and communication styles. Her lessons were so well received by those present in the group. I was fortunate to meet Mary, and have since shared my experience of the evening with several friend and family members. I wish and hope that Mary pursues a successful career in television. I am sure that her ability to inspire and coach others will indeed help the American people in more ways than one. Adina Teichmanto Just a note to thank you again, and tell you how helpful your coaching session was last week in preparation for my audition. The session really helped me identify specific things I could do to improve my performance. Your visualization techniques helped, as did your specific comments about my style and approach. If only I’d come to you before my Harry Belafonte tour, I could have put more of myself into that experience! At any rate, I want to thank you again for your constructive, objective tips, which really helped me do my best under pressure. Warm Regards, Contact Info: Email: mary@marygardner.com
