Judge McClatchey is an outstanding mediator. She has great listening skills, and is able to balance objectivity with being assertive in identifying and facilitating solutions to the problems presented.

This workshop elevated my relationship with my coworkers. We spoke openly with each other regarding how we need help in reaching our wellness goals. Also, by increasing mental breaks, my work time is more productive.

I plan to hold employee development check-ins with staff and to use this great form. I really liked the handout on learning styles and preferences and plan on using this soon. It will be a great tool for a new supervisor and a way for him to get to know his new team.

WorkSmart’s program goes far beyond a legal compliance exercise. We found that having our project facilitated by a former judge who can also share ‘the view from the bench’ has proven to be invaluable.  Mary’s training in employment law, conflict management, and building strong teams has moved us forward in the employee engagement and organizational development areas.  Her enthusiasm for helping people and organizations excel is contagious.

Mary has provided annual trainings for our Nonprofit Leadership & Management program for several years. This program empowers executive directors to develop greater self-awareness, expand leadership capabilities, master new management techniques, and cultivate meaningful professional relationships.

Our leadership team therefore moved quickly from the “let’s feel each other out” stage to the important work. While Mary’s differentiator is her subject matter expertise in employment law as a former judge, she is a talented trainer. She integrated risk management seamlessly into broader themes and skills sets that are essential for modern leaders and managers. WorkSmart thus exceeded our… Read more
