Certified Executive Coach SCC I Career Coach & Executive Life Coach | LinkedIn Top Voice I 🏆 Best Career Coach ‘21 I Helping leaders and professionals achieve fulfilment and success with confidence, clarity and purpose

As an Executive Coach and Career Coach in Dubai, my goal is to help people excel in their careers.

Since 2014, I’ve helped 1000+ people advance their careers in Dubai and globally with clarity and power through my effective career coaching and leadership coaching programmes.

If you’re feeling:

→ unfulfilled or unclear; not sure what you want or how to achieve it 
→ demotivated or frustrated by stagnation 
→ stagnant; unable to progress or earn more 💰
→ stressed out and insecure; doubting yourself and your worth
→ alone or unable to build relationships required for success; maybe questioning if you belong. 

I’m here to help.

For 18 years, I’ve worked with and for multinational companies - as a recruiter, a manager, an executive coach and career coach in Dubai. Through this work, I learned why some people succeed while others struggle in the corporate world.

I’ve personally faced and overcome company restructures, job loss and working in a toxic culture. I learned how to navigate the job market and successfully change careers. 

In the last decade, I’ve built a solid personal brand, became a LinkedIn Top Voice and an award-winning career coach – leading successful executive coaching and career coaching programmes for some of the biggest companies in the world.

Through these experiences and my degree in Psychology, I’ve come to understand the secrets to career fulfilment and success. Now through my Career Transformation Accelerator and coaching programmes, I am on a mission to share them so you can experience greater success too.

Focusing on transformation and empowerment, working with me you will:

→ Gain clarity and a sense of direction
→ Experience renewed motivation and purpose 
→ Build a clear strategy towards your goals
→ Create a powerful Unique Value Proposition and personal brand
→ Learn how to get in front of decision-makers and target audiences, and sell your value
→ Master communication, emotional management, networking and leadership 
→ Develop a success mindset; confidence, resilience and self-worth
→ Get to the next level in your career and more!

President and Executive Coach

St. Margaret Foundation

The mission of St. Margaret Foundation is to be a valued source of support for UPMC St. Margaret and the health and wellness of the communities it serves.  

Since its establishment in 1986, the mission of St. Margaret Foundation, a $24 million organization,  to invest funds in health and wellness initiatives at UPMC St. Margaret and other organizations that serve communities within the footprint of the hospital has benefited thousands of adults and children.

Because the Foundation operates independent of UPMC and enjoys complete autonomy regarding disbursement of funds, all gifts to the Foundation remain local.

UPMC St. Margaret has touched virtually every neighbor in this area in one way or another. St. Margaret Foundation – quietly and behind the scenes in many ways, and more visibly in others – enables and provides many of the services and features that make such connections with the hospital more comfortable and more comforting.

Responsibilities – A Turnaround: Creating structure, processes and strategy so that this $24 million organization may continue to grant make and fundraise successfully for UPMC St. Margaret Hospital (249 beds). Recruit and train a board of directors, develop and manage all aspects of the foundation which include strategic planning, capital campaigns, staff supervision, major gift fundraising, grant writing, planned giving, web site management, cultivate and manage volunteers, special events, grant disbursement; managing funds and disbursements, stewardship.

Assistant Manager of the Ophthalmic Dispensing Department

Let’s be honest…

You didn’t study hard, work hard, and get to the executive level just to end up exhausted, sidelined, looking for a lateral move, exiting quietly, snacking down doubt and struggling in distanced relationships. 

You didn’t dominate your industry, and strategically execute… 
Only to get to your 40s, 50s and 60s and feel like a nobody. 

But that’s exactly what’s happening.

You’re brilliant in a boardroom - but blank staring at jobs boards.
You sound smart – but nobody’s listening.
And you’re starting to second guess if you’re even relevant.

Spoiler: You are.

But you don’t need more “coaching hacks” from influencers who’ve never led anything but a LinkedIn Live.

You need a system 
built for high-achieving leaders.

👋 I’m Mary Lee Gannon, ACC, CAE

CEO of a $33 million organization. Built and turned around many. Have lots of certifications and awards that don’t mean anything if I can’t help you.

My personal turnaround came as a stay-at-home mother with four children under seven-years-old who endured a divorce that took my children and me from the country club life to public assistance from where I re-invented my life to the C-Suite to support my family.

I cracked the code to a framework I use with execs to execute their next chapter – without burning it all down. I show other high-performers – to do the same.

• If you’re sitting on years of experience that should be valued, promoted and paid well…
• If you’re done being seen as an “ok to have” or wonder what's next?

You’re in the right room.

💣 My clients turn the page from a last chapter that fizzled to a next chapter that navigates a promotion, transition, divorce, grief, or dances into retirement without the anxiety that sacrifices well-being and relationships. 

And here's how I do it:

Mindful Leader – Satisfied Life Coaching: You learn how to 1) Determine your unique Resilience Formula, 2) Recast your role in drama, 3) Define your True (not corporate) Identity, 4) Position your executive presence, 5) Maintain daily rhythms that bring calmness and sleep, 6) Reset an Ideal Day.

Next Spark Coaching: This is for high achieving souls in their 40s, 50s, and 60s when the only question that matters is “What’s next?” Turn the page with purpose, passion, reinvention, and relevance. 

Urgent Issue Coaching: A laser focused strategy session. 

If you’re ready to stop vacillating and start positioning

Your next chapter deserves fireworks.
