About the Coach

Mary Ellen Sailer, Ed.D.

Mary Ellen is inspired by the distinction between "being" and "doing." She is convinced that people spend too much time "doing" what they presume is expected of them, rather than "being" who they really are. Coaching individuals to excavate their brilliance within is Mary Ellen's passion.

Dr. Sailer is a graduate of Coach University, a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), and is a candidate for professional certification (PCC) with the ICF. She earned her graduate degrees in organizational development from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Her doctoral research on ethical decision making revealed the essence of coaching: having the caring support of another in asking questions and designing options liberates the decision maker from a "right vs. wrong" paradigm towards the development of wisdom.

In addition to Brilliant Life, Mary Ellen Sailer is also a Senior Coach with BlanchardCoaching.com, and teaches a graduate level coaching course in the Professional MBA progam at the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts. Prior to coaching, Mary Ellen dedicated 20 years to her first career in college and university administration and graduate education.

Mary Ellen is quick, caring, fun, courageous and compassionate. She loves to connect, learn, and enjoy. She shares her life with two exquisite children, and is proud of having transitioned into the "right relationship" with their father--navigating through divorce while remaining a respectful and supportive co-parent. Mary Ellen pursues living her brilliant life in many ways, including on stage in productions ranging from Shakespeare to musical theatre.

Although I had been browsing around for a coach, I was resolute that I wasn’t going to actually hire one for another six months or so. Then I met Mary Ellen and I knew I had to have her in my life immediately! Mary Ellen Sailer offers a rare and finely textured blend of sensitivity, joy, humanity and brilliance. What have I garnered from coaching with Mary Ellen? A crystalline clarity, inspiration, a way to view things from many angles, humor, delight, deeper self knowledge, success in my business, a large accomplishment checklist, a solid sense of what my priorities are; and a genuine confidence that is alas born from the truth.
