“Reassessing, embracing, and leaning into my authentic self, through the knowledge of how my strengths show up, has proven to be a vital exercise, not only in my business but in my personal life as well. MaryAnn is a master at breaking down the detailed information, showcasing the power of coupling strengths, and helping her clients (me) hone into what will make the biggest impact as a leader. Through MaryAnn’s meticulous guidance, I have been able to identify ways to work more robustly with my team and also realize more acutely who I ultimately wish to attract for the future on a much grander scale. This process has allowed me the time to deeply reflect on my own gifts, as well as to embrace the areas in which I can grow stronger. Being a true advocate of personal development my entire adult life, I wholeheartedly endorse MaryAnn and the systems she so thoughtfully puts in place for her clients throughout the coaching process.”

“MaryAnn is everything I needed in a coach: a wealth of experience and wisdom mixed with a well-spring of vitality and creativity. An expert listener, she helped me see opportunities I had missed and identify practical and helpful actions I could take to better explore them. As a result of her influence, I am more […]

“I have always been a big advocate for the StrengthsFinder process and how it can benefit individuals and groups, but I had never had the opportunity to receive a coaching session. That has changed and I will come back for more coaching sessions. Why? MaryAnn Gramig! In just a short hour, she brought insight into […]

"I have always been a big advocate for the StrengthsFinder process and how it can benefit individuals and groups, but I had never had the opportunity to receive a coaching session. That has changed and I will come back for more coaching sessions. Why? MaryAnn Gramig! In just a short hour, she brought insight into my areas of strengths that I had never thought about, she brought my strengths into better focus and showed me how to see my strengths in compliment of each other. Even more impressive, she did this while making me feel extremely at ease and as if I was her only client. I will be back for additional sessions and plan to have her do group coaching with my team. She is the definition of a leadership coach."

“My coaching session with MaryAnn was so insightful and helpful to me. Referencing my strengths, she helped me identify some key problem areas and then we developed workable solutions. I look forward to further coaching with MaryAnn as I progress toward my goals!”

"Having gone through StrengthsFinder at a board retreat, I was intrigued by the results but didn't investigate further. Several months I had the wonderful opportunity with MaryAnn to dive deeper into my StrengthsFinder results with some coaching. MaryAnn had a great way of asking questions and having me really take a look at my responses. She did this in such a positive, thought-provoking way which encouraged me to look at different approaches to how I communicate and approach life. My coaching with MaryAnn opened my eyes to numerous possibilities. I am a business owner and serve on the boards of a few organizations near and dear to my heart. I am excited to now be implementing those strategies into my daily interactions on a professional and personal level. It has been a very fulfilling journey. I highly recommend MaryAnn and her ability to take your strengths and guide you through the process of incorporating them into a positive and productive way as you interact with others and reach for your goals. I look forward to continuing my coaching with MaryAnn."

“Working with AuthenticA and MaryAnn Gramig to find my strengths has been helpful in seeking out new employment and in my personal life as well.

"Working with AuthenticA and MaryAnn Gramig to find my strengths has been helpful in seeking out new employment and in my personal life as well. Being a disabled veteran had left me feeling inadequately prepared to seek out a new career due to some of the physical constraints I have. After taking a brief assessment to see what my strengths were, I sat down with MaryAnn and we discussed what my themes meant in a real and applicable way that I could build on both personally and as a tool to seek out employment that would be meaningful to me. At the time I was working in sales and through her coaching me through my strengths it quickly became obvious why I hated it! I was not well suited to be in a job that involved selling. It was amazing to realize that I wasn’t doing anything wrong but that my strengths were not being utilized in my job choice in a way that was fulfilling. We explored what would be more enjoyable and satisfying employment for me as well as bringing the best of me to the table for potential employers. Her insights and guidance have made a positive influence in my career choices and a big influence in feeling better about what my place in the workforce is. Even with some physical limitations I now know the value I have to offer an employer. I would recommend MaryAnn to anyone looking to improve themselves and move forward in life in a positive way. I can also see what a positive influence her coaching would be for companies trying to build upon their human resources strengths and create dynamic teams. I would love to work for a strengths focused company one day."

“To begin, I have completed several “personality tests” in the past for various reasons. StrengthsFinder takes a different approach and allocates specific themes that are essentially our natural, behavioral strengths. While I have some supporting documentation to accompany my results, the question of how to proceed with that information is heavy. That’s where MaryAnn is […]

"To begin, I have completed several “personality tests” in the past for various reasons. StrengthsFinder takes a different approach and allocates specific themes that are essentially our natural, behavioral strengths. While I have some supporting documentation to accompany my results, the question of how to proceed with that information is heavy. That’s where MaryAnn is very helpful. Through her training and knowledge, she can assist with the necessary navigation toward implementing these strengths, both professionally and personally. I have greatly enjoyed our time together, hope to have future sessions with MaryAnn and look forward to realizing how this will impact my future!"
