CSA PEARL Consultant Forum

Thank you for your involvement in the recent RCSA PEARL Consultant Forum, Recruitment ReNEWed - the Power of YOU. The forum was a huge success, and simply would not have been possible without your time and support. The foundation for the success of the Forum was in the way it fostered professional development in differing facets of the recruitment industry, business and personal growth. Feedback we have received referenced how funny, passionate and engaging you were with the audience with an amazing story. We hope the opportunity arises to work with you in the future to continue the development of the recruitment industry towards professional excellence.

Mary’s professionalism was fantastic and the way she was able to make the evening come together for us was brilliant. With her on board I was able to feel at complete ease knowing that I had her there to fill the gaps with her humour and talent to keep things going. Once again thank you so much for everything. I would definitely use her again and recommend you to her anyone’s event should they ask me for advice.

Pink Ribbon Brunch

Mary was the perfect MC for our Pink Ribbon Brunch held in June this year. She was very professional and passionate about the cause, which was reflected on the day. She was very experienced in every aspect of the day, from assisting with the models, order of the day and her humour and quick wit added to the occasion, making it an extremely fun and memorable day for everyone who attended.

CARN Conference 2021

Thank you for making the 2021 CARN conference an overwhelming success! The energy, excitement, and passion you brought to the conference were common themes amongst feedback we received from attendees. You truly went above and beyond not only our expectations, but those attending the conference and for that, we truly thank you Mary. Know that your involvement with the CARN conference has inspired many. Again, we thank you for joining us this year and we’re already excited for the next conference!

Mary was absolutely awesome. She understood the event and the audience and added great colour and class to the overall event. Her ad-libbing and sense of humour was great. Stress levels were high, as we had Prime Minister John Key arrive late to the event, but Mary worked closely with our Event Producer and with her natural ability to deal with the pressure of a live situation, she was able to put us at ease and really carried the show for us - which was fabulous (and with the help of a two way earpiece system). We would definitely recommend Mary and would love to have her involved in the charity again.

ASB Conference

We engaged Mary to be our MC because she was able to use her own background and experiences to engage the audience at a high-level on the subject of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I). She was wonderful. Not only was she professional, flexible and fun, she introduced key speakers including ASB CEO Barbara Chapman, engaged the audience and got across the whole point behind the event. Being a bit green in organising such an event, Mary’s expertise was also incredibly supportive to our team in the lead up. I simply couldn’t have achieved such a successful event without her.
