Hi, I'm MaryCay, and I illuminate a vibrant future for work. 

My living legacy.

Join the WonderField, my virtual gathering place for individuals seeking vibrancy in their lives and communities. Creating this has been soul-stirring. Those who know me best nick-named me “Janey Appleseed” because I love to spread the seeds of nature’s wisdom with everyone I meet so it can take
root and spread organically through each person and how they show up in their community and world.

For 30+ years, I’ve seen most companies and leaders skip “living and being” and go straight to “doing” – this is an example of “business as usual” and it no longer works. I help companies move beyond business as usual to unlock human potential and drive BIG Return on Energy – ROI without depleting your people.

I left consulting with Fortune 500 companies to help leaders transform burnout to vitality. It’s been an honor to lead transformations with unprecedented outcomes for more than 100 companies, including: PepsiCo, Deloitte, PayPal and Children’s Hospital LA.

My personal mission statement – Live from Love, Serve from Joy – fuels my dedication to ignite organizations’ whole-potential performance by illuminating two essential building blocks:

Long ago, during my own season of challenge, I discovered that the Partnership Muscle and Living Systems Models can transform times of great challenge into opportunities to recreate in greater alignment. The result is a deeper purpose, impact and untapped reservoir of energy.

Today, I bring these building blocks via speaking, workshops and retreats to organizations and teams that are ready to stop the burn out, get “unstuck” from old practices that no longer serve them and grow.

Your instincts are right; your pursuit of a better way to work is worth the uncertainty. I’ll walk with you, inspire you, and guide you to your vibrant future of work.
