Radiant You 

A Membership Community

You're a woman over 40 who is done wearing over-achievement like a badge of honor only to be overlooked, lose influence, and feel irrelevant. You are capable yet don't have a framework or a trusted C-suite resource for this phase to navigate with executive presence. You stop being underestimated in rooms you’ve earned your way into. Your value shines without the hustle. 

I'm in. I'm ready to join Radiant You!

Radiant You! gives you the framework, coaching, and community to be undeniable.

Radiant You! has 3 parts:

1. RAPID ONLINE LEARNING - The Anxiety-Resistant Relevance Framework 
2. ONE-on-ONE GROUP COACHING Identity calibration every two weeks!

This is where you learn how to:

  • Stop being invisible in meetings and become the leader who is always chosen for promotions.
  • Move confidently through bureaucracies that used to frustrate you.
  • Have a trusted, private sounding board with accomplished peers and a coach who knows your world.
  • Regulate your nervous system so you show up from your core, not fear. No more replaying the meeting in your head after the meeting.
  • Reorient to your confidence and executive presence beneath pressure.
  • Apply the Radiant You Framework to stop spiraling before big moments.
  • Learn by being coached—and by watching others be coached to navigate complexity. YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. You're remembering.
3. THE MEADOW - Your community sanctuary similar to a Facebook group. 

Here is a short video where Mary Lee takes you behind the scenes of the Community.

 

This is for you if...

  • You need help navigating a difficult situation or life change - promotion, new boss, divorce, health challenge, grief, empty nest, layoff, move, retirement - to be the "must-have."
  • You want to let go of the panic from the roles you play (leeader, parent, child, brother/sister, manager, spouse, caregiver, executive) such that other people's temperament doesn't trigger you to doubt yourself.
  • You desire to make a career shift and want support with C-Suite experience.
  • You question your executive presence and now have difficulty with connected relationships, healthy choices,  or estranged family members.
  • You want to get back to the gym and healthy eating but have self-neglect.
  • Note - If this is you, you are not alone and you are not the problem.

My Story


The day I tore a Sheriff’s Sale notice off my front door and said, “No more” was the day I first experienced the power of my core identity. 

I was a stay-at-home mom with four children under seven, living what looked like the “perfect” life — country club, community volunteering, smiling through the pain. But behind the facade was chaos: an abusive marriage, financial ruin, and a husband who had stopped paying the mortgage. 

When I saw that notice, I was exhausted — working three jobs, raising my children alone, managing my daughter’s autism therapy, and surviving on welfare. There was a constant feeling of anxiety - What will happen? I won’t be able to handle it.

But, in that moment — between my kids arguing over a TV show and the cat brushing against my leg — something in me shifted. 

A radiance rumbled up from my soul and said, “Enough. I’m done chasing what’s broken. I’m creating my own destiny.” 

That was the day I stopped living by other people’s expectations — dutiful wife, perfect mother, obedient daughter, do-it-aloner — and began rediscovering who I truly was because I had lost sight of her. 

I rebuilt my life from scratch, rose to the C-Suite, found love again, and began helping others do the same. 

And that’s the foundation of Radiant You:

When you reconnect with your undeniable core identity, you become unshakably relevant — to yourself and everyone around you. 

That’s a Radiant You! That's what happens in this community. 

 

My Philosophy:

I believe accomplished people don’t need fixing — they need space, perspective, and identity alignment to stop performing by overachieving and start leading from self-trust and their innate core brilliance.

 

My Business Intention:

To elevate high-performing leaders back into visible, trusted authority by restoring how they think, respond, and lead under pressure—so they become indispensable in moments that define their careers. This work exists to close the gap between who a leader truly is—and how they are experienced in the moments that matter. Because my clients know they are capable… it’s just not landing anymore. I make sure it lands.

MODULE #1 Your Next Spark Mindset

Get to know yourself. You’ll learn how to tune it all out and turn your attention inward to notice how difficult emotions can trap you in defeating thoughts. Then you'll learn a simple process to go beyond this paralysis and constriction to an open ended freedom of discovery. Exciting!

MODULE #2 Your Identity Audit

You will know exactly what persona you identify with and whether or not that serves you as you begin to clear the way to a new and more authentic identity - not one conditioned by an environment or corporation whose time has passed.

MODULE #3 Your Triple Crown Daily Framework

At this point a new way of viewing and executing your life is falling into place. You are taking better care of and kinder to yourself. Your relationships are more connected. Your health is stronger. Here you'll have a fun accountability tool and a process you won't want to neglect because of how much you value your Next Spark life.

When I first contacted Mary Lee I had reached a point of despair in my job, and had hit a plateau in my career. I discovered that the 'something' in my way wasn't someone else, or a lack of skill, capability, or shortcoming. Simply stated, it was my perception of myself. If you are feeling lost or uncertain in your career or personal journey, this program is for you!

I've been promoted. My confidence is different. Other people now see me as ‘in-charge/in-control.’ I now have a practice when stuck. I now go back and review the facts/data to reset how I am thinking about the problem. Now I can remove the emotion. I have confindence in how I present myself and the messages I deliver. People see me as someone who has a plan and can work with team(s) to push towards that same goal. I can now break down the situation into ‘chuncks’ that team members and/or I can work on to either solve the problem or make forward progress.

One-on-One GROUP COACHING

Here's an example of what happens on the biweekly Zoom coaching calls.


Jennifer recently got glowing reviews from previous senior leaders. Their guidance was simple: operate from a place of confidence. She had advanced to the final round for two positions and wasn't sure how to follow up.

💡 This group forum gave me the opportunity to evaluate in real time how Jennifer showed up around others, her executive presence, and level of confidence. I had previously emailed her my Career Changers Workbook and helped her see herself from a third party perspective. By the end of the call she was already showing up differently, positioning her signature strengths. ✔️ 

Naomi said she wanted to be more educated in her decision making so she could be a better asset at the C-Suite table where she now sits as a new operations director. "How do I get ahead of the game?" she asked. "How do I become the go to person who owns the strategy? I notice my colleagues ask better questions." 

💡 I helped Naomi realize that she is at the table because they already believe in her and likely see themselves in her. At first she couldn't believe they were ever as 'green' as she felt, yet she began to notice that the thought of not being good enough and the fear of being judged was blocking her from her radiant best. We talked about ways she could prepare to ask pertinent questions and how to study what she admired in them as opposed to what intimidated her about them. She got excited. ✔️ 

Lisa is a seasoned executive who felt completely overwhelmed. The company was dealing with imminent changes. Everyone was uneasy for which she was the go-to person to sort out the chaos. She told us about all the fires she was putting out after which she said the mic drop - "Oh and I want a promotion."

💡 I helped Lisa realize how we can easily get lost in the urgent, back burnering the important because we're really good at quick fixes. Then we positioned her to define the role she wanted and the next steps to get it. Her takeaway was knowing her transferable skills. By the next call she had written the job description for the role she wants, made an apppointment with her VP to discuss it, and is working on her 90-Day Plan in the role. ✔️ 

This all starts with your core identity.

I'm Mary Lee Gannon, ACC, CAE.

Most would describe me as a 19+ year  CEO running orgaizations worth up to $37 million within companies with up to 100,000 employees, mother, wife, and executive coach. But in reality, I am so much more than that. And so are you.

Society sometimes puts us in boxes, but that doesn't mean we have to stay there. So, let's break free from what society has labeled us and start living the fulfilling life we deserve.

My personal turnaround came as a stay-at-home mother with four children under seven-years-old who endured a divorce that took my children and me from the country club life to public assistance from where I harnessed my signature strengths, addressed anxiety, and re-invented my life to support my family.

You could say I'm a welfare mom. Most people say I am a "must have," highly effective, care about people, am fun, and love to laugh. I know how to get the right stuff done and so will you.

I've earned the International Coach Federation Coach Certification (ACC), the Professional Coach Certification from Duquesne University (PC), the Certified Association Executive Certification from the American Society of Association Executives (CAE).

I'm an alumnus of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Practices Program and the Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital Coaching in Medicine & Leadership Conference.

I am a scholarship recipient of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute at Georgetown University’s Institute for Transformational Leadership created at Google, a trainer in Crucial Conversations, and a member of Pittsburgh Coaches Association. I am the author of two books: Reinvent You – From Welfare to CEO and Starting Over.

Join me on a journey of self-love, self-discovery, and unapologetic confidence.
