Mary Wade
Mary is a Certified Paterson LifePlanâ„¢ and StratOpâ„¢ Guide, serving clients since 2016. She has worked with clients from roughly a dozen countries, facilitating LifePlans and StratOps for English and Spanish-speaking clients. Currently, she is studying Portuguese and hopes to soon offer the Paterson Processes of LifePlanâ„¢ and StratOpâ„¢ to Portuguese-speaking leaders and organizations. Cultural linguistic identity is central to how people express themselves, which is why Mary always works to ensure clients feel safe, heard, and understood.
Mary has worked with a variety of start-ups and scale-ups in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors. Working in such diverse contexts across different countries, cultures, and industries has taught her agility, making her quick to adapt to the context of her clients. In all her work, from counter-human trafficking efforts to serving C-suite executives to holistic community development, her focus has always been on serving leaders and organizations that are making the world a more just, safe, and inclusive place. A passion for justice and inclusion is what drove Mary to get certified as a LifePlanâ„¢ and StratOpâ„¢ Guide, with the vision of bringing these processes to the Spanish-speaking world.
Before moving to Seattle, Washington, USA, in the winter of 2022, Mary spent 5 years living in Mexico City. Mexico will always be her second home, and she hopes one day to return. Meanwhile, Seattle is home, at least for now.
