Who are you becoming?

The Executive Identity Diagnostic™

Most capable leaders are not held back by ability. They are held back by an identity that has not yet caught up with it. This diagnostic shows you who you are becoming as a leader — and whether your life is built to support it.

Part of the ERP Executive Positioning Suite™ and the Mary Executive Identity Methodology™

Six lenses, one diagnosis

Five reflective assessments and your Golden Circle, interpreted together into a single, evidence-based story of your executive identity.

  • Values

    What truly matters to you — and how it survives the journey from nearly 200 values to 5.

  • Life Investment

    Every role you carry, the weight of each, and whether you appear on your own list.

  • Beliefs

    The convictions quietly governing your decisions — and which now limit you.

  • Executive Intentionality

    Evidence of what you have actually invested in your future over 36 months.

  • Shape of My Life

    How your life is distributed today, against the life your future requires.

  • Golden Circle

    Your Why, How and What — distilled by Mary from your five assessments into a leadership identity you can name.

What you receive

What clients say

“She gets me—often better than I get myself.”

“Working with Mary has been one of the most grounding and eye-opening experiences of my leadership journey. As a young CEO trying to navigate corporate politics while staying true to who I am, her coaching has felt less like a formal process and more like a deeply supportive friendship. She gets me—often better than I get myself. Mary has this incredible ability to listen between the lines, to call out the things I didn't even know I was feeling, and to gently bring me back to my core.”
