Meet Mary
International Protocol Expert
& Master Confidence Coach
Hello, I’m Mary Bouras, and I help people move forward in their careers and life.
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 looking for a job or getting promoted at work, I believe mastering the essential skills needed to succeed is key to getting ahead in any industry. And those skills are confidence and etiquette!
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.
