 About Coach Mary Bast

I completed a Ph.D. in 1983, with a focus on psychology, personal growth, and organization development. As Director of Executive Development for Federated Department Stores I then developed a benchmark program to coach high-potential executives for leadership positions. After establishing Bast Consulting in 1988, I coached hundreds of senior executives in large corporations, small companies, nonprofits, and family businesses. Clients fine-tuned their capabilities, attained desired positions, got back on track when their careers were in jeopardy, and interacted more effectively in their work and personal lives. At that point it was clear more significant change was possible. After a year of research and writing, I launched Out of the Box Coaching in 1999 with a new approach that resolves specific short-term issues quickly and also leads to fundamental change that includes being more fully present - releasing limiting mental models and finding creative and unanticipated resolutions to business and personal issues.

For more about my approach to coaching, listen to "What We Need to Know" with Ed Morler.  

As a master coach with a 25-year coaching practice I also mentor coaches, many of whom include Tilt and/or the Enneagram in their practice (you'll find descriptions and case studies here of the nine Enneagram styles in personal and business situations).

In addition, many free articles at this web site address common issues such as envisioning a better life, managing anger, giving and receiving feedback, listening, overcoming performance anxiety, and how to make your life congruent with your deepest values -- both individually and in partnership with others. Work life issues are addressed in such areas as becoming more creative, communicating with people who have conceptual styles different from yours, collaborating with peers, confronting poor performance, dealing with resistance to change, team development, delegation, and many others.
