Meet Mary

Mary C Schaefer

My coaching, training and consulting are all focused on making the most of what our Human resources can contribute through their own energy and creativity, while at the same time meeting their own specific needs for meaningful work.

As a Human Resources Manager for a Fortune 100 company, I served a community of over 500 employees and managers in areas such as performance management, interpersonal relations, leadership, teamwork, diversity, and creating a respectful work environment.

Even though I started out as an Information Systems professional, I quickly developed an avid interest in how people “work at work.” Over time I noticed I was more interested in understanding how people reacted to changing job expectations than teaching them new computer programs.  While pursuing a career in HR and completing a Master’s in HR, I always found a way to be a part of diverse work assignments that involved helping people move through change. For example, through workshops and coaching, I helped hundreds of survivors of corporate downsizing to see how they could make positive choices moving forward, rather than be overwhelmed by constant job insecurity.

What I Can Do For You

Through Artemis Path Inc, I conduct interventions and training related to creating a more productive and collaborative work environment through effective discussions, whether it involves planning for a tough conversation about work performance or strategizing on how to react to changing job conditions. I bring to our work together my skills, experience, and knowledge through certification as a Human Resources Professional, as a certified coach, and from serving clients such as Xerox, Siemens, DuPont and the State of Delaware.
