Mary Ann Sedor is a dynamic force of capability, insight, and lived experience—a woman who has built a life defined by strength, intellect, resilience, and a deep commitment to elevating others. As an Executive Coach, HR strategist, and lifelong endurance athlete, she brings a rare combination of business leadership, personal mastery, and human-centered wisdom to every individual she works with.
Mary Ann coaches leaders to grow from the inside out. Her approach blends strategic clarity, emotional intelligence, grounded presence, and actionable accountability. She works with executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing professionals who want to become more effective business owners, more balanced leaders, and more internally settled human beings. Her coaching is equal parts empowering and practical—rooted in real-world experience and a genuine belief in each client’s potential.
Her own leadership journey began long before she became a coach. Mary Ann built and ran her own wellness company for eight years, turning it into a thriving, multifaceted business that served hundreds in her community. She successfully owned and operated two gyms, a retail bike shop, and founded a large competitive race team that competed both nationally and internationally. Under her leadership, the brand grew into a respected hub for athletes, families, and local organizations—shaped by her passion for wellness, community, and empowering people to achieve more than they believed possible.
This entrepreneurial experience gives her a unique advantage as a coach. She understands what it means to manage people, build culture, make strategic decisions, lead through uncertainty, and carry the weight of a business on your shoulders—because she has lived it. She brings that same clarity and capability to the leaders she mentors today.
Mary Ann’s athletic background is equally defining. A competitive endurance athlete since 1998, she is a five-time IRONMAN finisher and one of the few women to complete La Ruta de los Conquistadores, widely considered the hardest mountain bike race in the world. These experiences cultivated her deep resilience, discipline, courage, and mental steadiness—qualities that parallel the leadership and personal growth work she now teaches.
Her depth expands far beyond athleticism. Mary Ann is the proud mother of five children and “Mimi” to **five grandchildren,” roles that have refined her intuition, compassion, and ability to see the full human behind every leader. She believes that wisdom is earned, and her life reflects a powerful blend of grit, tenderness, and clarity.
A dedicated student of mind–body connection, Mary Ann traveled to Rishikesh, India—the birthplace of yoga—to complete her RYT-200 yoga teacher training. She is trained in Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa/Flow, Yin yoga, along with breathwork and meditation practices that she skillfully weaves into her coaching when alignment calls for it. These practices help her clients cultivate inner steadiness, clarity, and resilience—qualities essential for navigating the pressures of leadership.
Today, Mary Ann supports leaders who want more than surface-level success. She works with individuals seeking:
Greater leadership clarity and confidence
Healthier communication and emotional intelligence
Better decision-making rooted in calm and self-awareness
Personal growth that strengthens professional effectiveness
A grounded, wise, and experienced coach who truly sees them
Her coaching is transformative because it is real. Rooted in decades of experience. Built on discipline and compassion. And shaped by a life that has demanded strength, presence, adaptability, and unwavering belief in what’s possible.
Through every chapter—entrepreneur, wellness leader, athlete, executive coach, yogi, mother, and grandmother—Mary Ann has lived the truth that powerful leadership starts within. She brings that truth to every coaching session, helping individuals rise into the strongest, most capable version of themselves.
