A fearless reinventor, Sally-Jo’s careers have been fulfilling and dynamic, from her start in Big Pharma and medical device sales to her first exciting pivot into the food industry. During this time she earned a Culinary Arts degree and started a culinary production company. It was there that she grew her love of collaborative teamwork and became a trusted creative partner to Fortune 500 companies, advertising agencies, news organizations, and celebrity chefs.
After becoming widowed with a young daughter, Sally-Jo pivoted again, leveraging her lifelong interest in human development with extensive coach & leadership training, launching Mercury Coaching & Consulting, LLC in 2011. She now partners with leaders at all levels to provide customized executive coaching, leadership development, and mental fitness training as well as specialized grief leadership coaching.
Sally-Jo focuses on growing our capacity to lead courageous conversations that pave the way for successful business outcomes. She is an advocate for co-creating positive workplaces where truth, curiosity, resilience, and humor are valued, and rewarded.
“Prior to working with HEG, I was the one making all the decisions and my people, who are very bright and confident, were solely focused on just doing their jobs. Because of HEG, those people have started to go the extra mile by becoming more involved and are now real leaders within the company.”
