Mary is an exciting and energetic presenter, who takes a refreshing new look at what it means to have physical and emotional energy. She will tell you that executive stress, the tightening shackles of age, weight problems and general lethargy can all be overcome… and she shows you how!
Mary entertains, enthrals and energises the audience with her humorous, hands-on presentations covering a range of topics from travel to achievable fitness for ordinary people.

Using anecdotes and slides of a heap of personal experiences gained by walking in the most remote and primitive areas of the world, Mary entertains audiences of all ages with personal, at times intimate, and always colourful tales of her adventures.

She has been dropped by helicopter into an active volcano in Siberia, walked in the tracks of bears through the birch forests of Kamchatka, survived a bus crash on the slopes of the Pamirs in Tajikistan, introduced Mongolian horsemen to the idiosyncrasies of the ancient game of Royal Tennis, worked with local farmers in the Sacred Valley of the Incas and joined Buddhist Monks in prayer at Ganden, a remote monastery in Tibet.

Mary shows how problem solving, team building and confronting physical and emotional obstacles can be met feet first with humour and mental and physical stamina.

Audiences are left invigorated and inspired to make simple changes in their own lives in order to find just how little effort it takes to make a difference to one’s well being in a corporate world governed by pressure, high stress, competitiveness and the never-ending challenge to perform and achieve.

As well as being an entertaining conference and motivational speaker Mary is becoming widely known as a scintillating after dinner speaker.
