The best leaders I've worked with have one thing in common: they're willing to do the hard work of looking inward to lead better outward.
I'm Mara Benner, founder of True North Executive Coaching. I work with CEOs, senior executives, and high-potential leaders who are ready to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and impact.
Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of partnering with organizations including Lockheed Martin, Humana, Chainalysis, NEA, and AACP — across defense, healthcare, fintech, education and professional associations. What I've learned is that great leadership isn't industry-specific. At it's core, it is human.
The results speak for themselves. In my most recent Leadership Excel cohort:
- 100% of leaders indicated that Leadership Excel was very beneficial and made them a better leader;
- Two-thirds or 69% of leaders indicated it significantly impacted their leadership effectiveness, and
- Three-fourths or 77% of leaders stated that the one-on-one personalized coaching contributed significantly to their effectiveness.
One participant said it best: "It broke me down and built me back up stronger."
That is exactly what this work is meant to do.
I offer two core engagements:
1. Executive Coaching — One-on-one coaching for executives and senior leaders navigating complexity, transition, or growth. We go deep, move fast, and get results.
2. Leadership Excel — A proven program that companies bring in-house to develop their leadership pipeline. Cohort-based, practical, and built for lasting culture change.
