Mary Bicknell LCSW:
Personal Growth & Development Coach, Author, Trainer, Biz Consultant, and Speaker
A prevalent theme in today’s world is for women to realize they have a voice and it’s time to use it. Too often women hold themselves back and they deeply regret not speaking up, not going for it and not allowing that inner giant to come out.
What is so strongly needed is for women to fully understand they are capable of having everything they want in their personal and professional lives.
Learning how to work through fears, insecurities and worries are critical for women to excel. Developing simple, yet impactful skills are not taught within companies even though it is often the critical missing link to growing not just the company but the woman
Mary Bicknell, LCSW is President and Founder of MaryBicknell.com — an International Success Coaching & Consulting company focusing on teaching women how to become the leader they need (and want) to be in life and in business. She is the creator of several highly impactful programs.
The Big, Bold Life & Biz Plan™ is for business owners who need to push through what is stopping them from making all the money they want to finally create all the FREE TIME they crave. The plan also teaches concrete skills needed to own their value, create fantastic offers and have impactful sales conversations. Part of the key is to move quickly into action, abandon their fears and learn that being BOLD is the key to their success.
The Regret Proof Life® is Mary’s signature program and she is currently putting this into a book. The program is based on years of working with women as a psychotherapist and as a success coach. The program supports women in 8 key areas of their lives. How you do one thing is how you do all things, this program helps women excel in the personal AND their professional lives. Within this program is the Big Breakthrough Formula, a tool that teaches women how to be in control of her thoughts, her feelings and her actions allowing her to have the results she wants in every area of her life.
Whether marching in Washington DC for women’s rights, lobbying at the Maryland Capital for the hungry, working in the inner city ghetto in Baltimore, or providing crisis intervention in the ER at Johns Hopkins, Mary’s mission for the past 25 years, is to find a way to help people see their capabilities. Mary combines her years as a Clinical Social Worker and a psychotherapist with her experience as a sales and cognitive behavioral trainer to help people worldwide have all the money they need to create all the time freedom they want….guilt free.
Mary earned her bachelor’s of social work (BSW) from Morgan State University. She completed her advanced placement master’s of social work degree (MSW) from the University of Oklahoma. And was the only one in her class to receive the Carl Albert Fellowship.
Mary embraces candor as a form of respect, never wanting to waste people’s time, “beating around the bush”. Her clients tell her that she gives them a kick in the a** while giving them a hug. She believes once you get your mental house in order, it is just a matter of creating a plan and implementing systems to achieve your goals. With time as her main driver, Mary works closely with clients to find effective ways to embolden them to get their B.S. (blindspot) breakthroughs done “already” so they can get on with having everything they dream about, because it is all possible.
In addition to speaking all across the country, Mary has been featured in the news, has been a guest on various podcasts, telesumitts, magazines and she gives interviews in newspapers, podcasts, summits and magazines.
On a personal note, Mary and her family moved to Portland, Oregon in 2010 when her husband, Lt Col John Bicknell retired from the Marine Corps. Knowing no one and not having a job or a house, they lived out their philosophy of #bebolditstime. When Mary is not busy with business, she is a mama to her 11 year old daughter, River, and a wife to John (who is her biz partner) and the wrangler to three black cats and a cute little mutt. Mary enjoys hiking, drinking coffee over a good book, and zoning out to cooking shows.
Mary Bicknell delivers in spades! As a speaker myself and a program organizer I know what it takes to both educate and entertain. Mary spent time getting to know the audience before she ever got on stage, and she had everyone engaged throughout the whole talk. Thank you Mary for serving our audience at such a high level! You rock!
