The Fowler Center’s mission is to forward the concept of business as an agent of world benefit. One of their core principles is “sustainable value” which they define as the “dynamic state that occurs when a company creates ongoing value for its shareholders and stakeholders. By ‘doing good’ for society and the environment, the company does even better for its customers and shareholders than it otherwise would.”

In Mary’s own coaching practice, she provides executive coaching, leadership development, and organizational consulting to leaders dedicated to socially, environmentally, and financially sustainable results. Among her clients are sustainability executives, nonprofit leaders, energy consultants, green tech developers, foundation executives, biofuels executives, food policy experts, and educators.

Keep up the world changing, Mary!

For example, what about working as a family coach? Every Family Matters in Kent, England has developed a new approach for coaches to go into the home and work with the entire family as a group, supplementing that with one-to-one sessions where appropriate.

Founder Alan Wilson explains, “The key is in accepting the other person as full of potential and not simply represented by the behaviour they are exhibiting… what we are doing is much deeper than parenting skills, which is mentoring with scripts and strategies. What we are doing is creating resourceful states, helping them to feel good about themselves and enabling them to stop the reactive cycle, step back, not take a comment personally and deal with the situation in a calm manner.”

As a result of his groundbreaking work, Alan has been invited to give evidence at the Houses of Parliament to the Social Justice Policy Group, Family Breakdown, and Education working parties, and been acknowledged as a contributor to the Social Justice Policy Review, Breakthrough Britain.
