Mary Jo Hardy

Sustainable growth takes more than a plan. It takes practice. After decades in corporate leadership, I witnessed a pattern: when results don't materialize, we do more. More hours. More meetings. More tactics. Rarely asking: What small, consistent changes will lead to real growth? What might we need to let go of to grow? I found myself caught in the same cycle. Lackluster results meant I wore more hats and worked more hours. I felt exhausted and set up for failure. As a long-time mindfulness practitioner, I used my daily practice to deepen awareness of the leader I wanted to be. I began to more intentionally align my actions to that vision, and everything changed. I stopped telling myself there was no time for rest and developed a habit of mindfully connecting to nature every day for clarity. I was amazed to discover profound lessons about leadership and sustainable growth when I did. That's why I founded Rooted, mindful leadership coaching & consulting inspired by nature and focused on growth. I help growth-minded leaders move from pressure to clarity and from misalignment to intentional progress. I help leaders align their actions with their vision, support them through uncertainty, and offer everyday practices that cultivate awareness, composure, and calm. My approach blends real-world corporate experience, mindfulness-based tools for leadership resilience, and co-creation rather than prescriptive advice. Whether through strategic growth consulting or leadership coaching, our work focuses on turning strategy into action. Creating the plan is just the beginning. I help leaders establish habits that bring the vision to life and cultivate the mindset to become the leader they're meant to be.
