Meet Mary
Speaker & Professional Development Trainer
Hello, I’m Mary Bouras, and I help people move forward in their careers and in life by building the confidence, communication, and people skills that open doors.
I know what it’s like to be ambitious in a world where it sometimes seems like everyone else has it all figured out.
I’ve been there. I’ve lived a nomadic lifestyle for the last 20 years, moving from country to country with my family and experiencing life in different cultures. With each move, I had to start over by scratch-learning how to present myself, and quickly figuring out the rules of the game in each new location-and that was stressful!
Having gone through so many challenges, I know what it’s like to feel unsure of yourself or your abilities.
I’ve spent my life opening doors to new opportunities and am passionate about sharing the secrets of success with others. Having a business that could move with me and grow was always my priority, so I created Mary Bouras Consulting and Coaching.
My background in hospitality has given me the tools to plan events for royals, ambassadors, celebrities, and corporations. It also honed my interpersonal skills.
I’ve worked in government protocol before serving as the Chief of Protocol for Andrews Air Force Base, where I navigated protocol for foreign world leaders, US Cabinet-level VIPs, and even the President of the United States!
Whether you’re interviewing for a job, stepping into a leadership role, or trying to make your mark at work, knowing how to communicate, connect, and carry yourself matters. Confidence, presence, etiquette, and strong people skills help you navigate those moments and make the most of the opportunities in front of you.
What I’ve Learned
Through MY TRAVELS, MY TIME AS A MILITARY SPOUSE, AND AN ENTREPRENEUR.
It takes confidence to make things happen. It takes courage to create bold, risky decisions. Confident interactions with others will open doors for you everywhere you go; knowing how to navigate social situations with grace will make sure those doors stay open.
