About Us

Helping Teams and Leaders Reach Their Highest Potential

We are highly credentialed executive and team coaches who specialize in improving team effectiveness. Our innovative approach to team and leadership coaching creates the right conditions to deliver results and lasting change.

Skilled

Our highly credentialed and seasoned team has the capability and know-how to support hard conversations, uncover truths, and make connections that lead to powerful discoveries.

Our Philosophy

Morand McKay improves the long-term effectiveness of teams and leaders using a highly customized approach to coaching that builds resilience, adaptability, and trust.
We believe that:
A team should be more than the sum of its parts. What team members accomplish together can be so much more than what they can do as individuals.
Teams make a difference in their organizations when they know where they’re going and how to show up in service of their stakeholders.
Performance alone isn’t the answer – it’s also about effectiveness. When the team aligns with each other and stakeholders they achieve their purpose.

Our Credentialed Team and Leadership Coaches

Morand McKay combines decades of experience with corporate talent management and executive search. We work as a team on every engagement to leverage the best of our corporate “inside” organizational perspective and professional services “outside” perspective. This two-for-one punch enables us to bring a more informed, nuanced, and well-rounded view of team potential to every engagement.

Mary Morand, Leadership and Team Coach

Mary’s coaching creates awareness of the learning edges that enable clients to shift and lean into new ways of being, doing, and achieving results.

Mary believes that change occurs when individual, team, and stakeholders align expectations and co-create the right conditions for success. The leaders develop more quickly, teams get better, and outsized results follow.

With more than three decades of corporate leadership experience, Mary understands the challenges of building high performing teams and navigating organizational change while delivering results. She has held multiple Vice President and Senior Vice President leadership roles including Director of Leadership Development and Talent Management, Chief Learning Officer, and Director of Marketing.
