Why Clients Choose Me
As a former college soccer coach, I understand what it takes to build and sustain a high-performing team. But I’ve learned that it’s not just about achieving results — it’s about the process. That’s why my approach is different.
I have worked with teams in the ACC, SEC & Big Ten, as well as countless school districts, institutions of higher education, and corporate groups. I focus on creating meaningful experiences where groups can rediscover their strengths & restore their relationships.
I use a learn-by-doing approach filled with lightbulb moments! My workshops and retreats are interactive and designed for transformation. Teams don’t grow apart - they die apart. My goal is to help your team come back together, stronger and more aligned than ever.
What is the difference between Team Bonding, Team Building, and Team Development?
Team bonding
Activities are fun, low-risk opportunities for teams to connect through shared experiences. With minimal structure and no formal facilitation, these social activities create a sense of camaraderie. While the impact is often short-lived, bonding events can foster connections and potentially reduce conflicts within the team.
Team development
Is a transformative process that requires professional facilitation to address deeper issues and drive lasting change. Through structured sessions that build on one another, teams engage in intentional activities, multiple debrief strategies, and action planning. This high-risk, high-reward approach fosters connection, growth, and a commitment to new behaviors, resulting in meaningful, long-term impact.
Team building
Takes connection a step further by combining intentional activities with facilitated debriefs to promote growth in specific areas. These medium-risk, medium-reward sessions provide structure and tools that help teams strengthen relationships and develop key skills. The impact can be lasting, though unresolved underlying issues may limit sustained progress.
My work focuses primarily on Team Development.

How I Can Help
While my audience is diverse, they share one key trait: a growth mindset.
I’m passionate about partnering with leaders who are ready to roll up their sleeves and actively participate in the process of helping their teams grow stronger and more aligned.
Here are some of the ways I help my clients to grow:
-
As a keynote speaker, I bring stories to life. At my core, I am a storyteller, weaving together narratives that resonate with audiences. My goal is to share stories that feel relevant and relatable, bridging them to real-world challenges and opportunities. Through these stories, I invite the audience to think critically, spark meaningful conversations, and take actionable steps toward growth and transformation.
My keynotes aren’t just speeches - they’re experiences designed to inspire change.
-
As a facilitator, I create experiences that go beyond the ordinary. My work is rooted in an experiential approach where participants learn by doing, engaging fully in the process.
As a partner, I walk alongside you. Through thoughtfully designed activities and guided debriefs, we uncover insights that have the potential to spark transformation.
-
Throughout the year, I run several Masterminds. A Mastermind is a group of people with similar interests who meet online to offer a combination of brainstorming, peer accountability, and support.
A Mastermind can be the community of support you need to perform at the highest level, both personally and professionally!
In the next year, I anticipate offering a new Mastermind for leaders in education.
-
LEAD READY is a new hybrid, cohort-based program for leaders in education.
New cohorts are launching soon!
-
Come soon in 2025! This will be a five-part series that can be done face-to-face or remotely.

Molly brings years of experience leading teams in the real world to her work. Her lessons are relatable and memorable. I appreciate how much thought she puts into preparing to work with our team and how she has gotten to know us over the years. She is particularly adept at recognizing and applying leadership principles in everyday moments. Her approach is empathetic, inclusive, and effective. Our sessions with her have been deeply valuable and affirming.

“Little did I know that bringing Molly in during a time of uncertainty and hopelessness would lead to a four-year journey of digging deep and questioning a “this is how we’ve always done it” mentality. “Hallelujah” for Molly busting the idea that we learn from walking around a crowded room to perform get-to-know-you activities! Instead, she provides hands-on tools for you to work through together.”

“Molly is not a coach who barks orders,
she is an artist. The art just happens to be the people in the process. Molly inspires high performance, and she leads by example. I have been changed by the time I have spent with Molly. I believe that you will feel the same way after an event with her. Molly doesn’t give answers, she helps you ask better questions.”TIM MORENZ, BLACKBURN COLLEGE

"Molly created a secure space, through Zoom, where coaches could be vulnerable and brave, and be celebrated for both. We could share our highs and lows while collaborating and learning from each other. Being our authentic selves was enough. It was like being part of the show, "This Is Us," where each session we laughed, cried, and grew, and every time the Zoom ended, we couldn't wait for the next one."

“We are continuing to reap the benefits every day from Molly's session with the team. I can honestly say this is the best culture I have experienced yet within my 6 years of the program and I give a lot of credit to the work we did with Molly. She was personable and funny, which went a long way in connecting with our players. Specifically, talking about things like the "drama triangle" and the perspectives that Molly gave, allowed our players to see things from different angles and to also have a name for those situations in order to prevent them in the future.”

"It was a pleasure to work with Molly as a fellow mentor to the startup accelerator participants. Molly helps people grapple with being a leader while building their personal dreams. Molly's experiential learning environment moved participants, and they left with more confidence to be the leaders they are capable of. Molly's events are a great balance of leadership philosophies and practical skill-building."
