TESTIMONIALS

"Presenting etiquette tips and advice to college students is not an easy task, but Mary is fantastic at really engaging with the students and sharing informative and relatable stories that really resonated with our students. Through her energy and presentation style, she immediately established a judgement free zone that put our students at ease and made them comfortable enough to ask many questions. This event is our most talked about event of the year!"

“Mary has a contagious energy, she’s funny, personable, intelligent, and driven. As a business student, you can’t help but aspire to her level of knowledge. She loves to help students who are just starting out in their own careers, and I have been fortunate enough to be one of those students. I continue to be amazed by what she is able to accomplish and the genuine person that I am blessed to call a friend and mentor.”

Here at MWFIA we continue to celebrate the tremendous achievements of female Olympians. We would like to send out a huge congratulations to Lee Kiefer, who became the first American woman to win gold in the women’s individual foil in fencing!

We would also like to congratulate Anastaija Zolotic, from right here in the Tampa Bay area. She has won the USA’s first ever gold medal in women’s taekwondo!

These athletes are able to perform incredible feats under tremendous pressure because they have coaches that support their mental and physical health.

Smart executives and those that are looking to further their careers, or venture down a new career path, know they also need coaches to help them succeed to the best of their ability.

We continue to express our support for Simone Biles, as she, and those that have helped coach her, work to support her mental and physical health. Supporting an athlete, or an executive, can mean helping them through some of the most challenging times they may face. We know Simone will come out even stronger on the other side of her current battle.

If we can help coach you through a business challenge, career shift, or upcoming interview, DM or email: marywilliamsfia@gmail.com and find our online course at: https://mary-williams-fia.teachable.com/p/the-power-of-first-impressions

As I said last week, I am always trying to advocate for, and celebrate, women who operate in historically male dominated professions. This week eyes around the world are on the athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. Here in the USA we watch and cheer on hundreds of Americans, as they compete in their respective events!

Did you know women were unable to even compete in the Olympics until the 1900 games in Paris? Only 22 of the nearly 1,000 participants were women.

In the 2016 Olympics in Rio about 45% of the athletes were women.

In this year’s Tokyo Olympics female athletes are actually outnumbering male athletes for the very first time! There are 613 athletes and 329 are women. That is about 54% female athletes!

Unfortunately the numbers in upper level management do not yet look like those of the Olympics. As your First Impression Authority, I do everything I can to help female executives gain confidence, and sharpen their business etiquette skills so they have an edge as they navigate a male dominated sectors of the business world. Much like an athlete, business professionals also need coaches to help them excel and succeed! How can I help you advance in your career? DM or email me: marywilliamsfia@gmail.com

At MWFIA, We Believe Trust is the Cornerstone of Every Relationship.

I am fanatical about trust just like I am fanatical about relationships. The two go hand in hand and one does not happen without the other. If you lose someone's trust it will affect your relationship.

Beginning with the first impression, the process of building trust begins.

What are the things you need to do to build trust in your business relationships?

1. Never be late, always be on time. This includes in person, virtual and phone meetings.
2. Answer emails in a prompt way, even if it's to acknowledge you received it and need more time to respond more completely later.
3. Listen more than you talk.
4. Follow through on your promises, always do what you say you will do.
5. Meet your deadlines.

At MWFIA, we believe once you have established a strong relationship of trust and a successful history with a client, they become part of your network and this is when the real magic happens!

I have always been passionate about helping people

I have always been passionate about helping people succeed. I founded MWFIA with a mission to bring business training and etiquette to anyone and everyone to help them reach their full potential. MWFIA is backed by 25+ years of business executive experience, so we know how much the First Impression matters. We know how important it is to dress for success, build confidence, be prepared for the interview, send out thank you notes, follow up with people, and, yes, even know your place settings for business lunches and dinners!

Trying to assist women who work in predominantly male work environments is also a passion of ours. More on this topic next week!

Let us help you make the most of your First Impressions. DM or email marywilliamsfia@gmail.com

Did you know that initial first impressions are formed between a half a second and 7 seconds into meeting someone? During that time you might not even have time to talk, and even if you do, not much will have been said!

This is why we coach on appearance and body language, as well as other forms of business etiquette. We work to give you that “wow” factor from the first second you meet someone.

Remember: You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression!

Let us help you make the most of the opportunity. DM or email marywilliamsfia@gmail.com
