Mary Bicknell, LCSW is President and Founder of MaryBicknell.com — an International Success Coaching & Consulting company focusing on teaching business owners and entrepreneurs how to become the leader they need (and want) to be in life and in business. She is the creator of a highly impactful program. The Big, Bold Life & Biz Method provides a system to push through what is stopping clients from making all the money they want to finally create all the FREE TIME they crave. The Method also teaches clients concrete skills needed to own their value, create fantastic offers and have impactful sales conversations. Part of the key is to have clients move quickly into action, abandon their fears and learn being BOLD is the key to their success.
Whether marching in Washington DC for women’s rights, lobbying at the Maryland Capital for the hungry, working in the inner city ghetto in Baltimore, or providing crisis intervention in the ER at Johns Hopkins, Mary’s mission for the past 25 years, is to find a way to help people see their capabilities. She combines her years as a Clinical Social Worker and a psychotherapist with her experience as a sales and cognitive behavioral trainer to help people worldwide have all the money they need to create all the time freedom they want….guilt free.
Mary earned her bachelor’s of social work (BSW) from Morgan State University. She completed her advanced placement master’s of social work degree (MSW) from the University of Oklahoma. And was the only one in her class to receive the Carl Albert Fellowship.
Mary embraces candor as a form of respect, never wanting to waste people’s time, “beating around the bush”. Her clients tell her that she gives them a kick in the a** while giving them a hug. She believes once you get your mental house in order, it is just a matter of creating a plan and implementing systems to achieve your goals. With time as her main driver, Mary works closely with clients to find effective ways to embolden them to get their B.S. (blindspot) breakthroughs done “already” so they can get on with having everything they dream about, because it is all possible.
In addition to speaking all across the country, she gives interviews in newspapers, podcasts, summits and magazines.
On a personal note, Mary and her family moved to Portland, Oregon in 2010 when her husband, Lt. Col. John Bicknell retired from the Marine Corps. Knowing no one and not having a job or a house, they lived out their philosophy of #bebolditstime. When Mary is not busy with business, she is a mama to her 11 year old daughter, River, and a wife to John (who is her biz partner) and the wrangler to three black cats and a cute little mutt. Mary enjoys hiking, drinking coffee over a good book, and zoning out to cooking shows.
