We connect people development with organizational goals by unlocking individual potential, fueling team performance, and shaping a talent strategy that works for your business.
Helping organizations grow stronger by growing their people through practical talent strategies, leadership development, and coaching.
Your Partner in Talent Development
I’m Mary Tettenhorst, Founder of Impact Talent Strategies, where I partner with organizations to develop leaders, build strategic people practices, and drive meaningful results. With more than 20 years of experience across every facet of talent development, I bring a practical, people-first approach to the employee lifecycle – from recruiting and onboarding to leadership development, performance management, and succession planning.
If you’re trying to build stronger leaders, retain your best people, or bring clarity to your talent strategy – I’ve been there, and I’m here to help! Whether designing performance management processes, facilitating leadership workshops, or coaching emerging and experienced leaders, my goal is simple: help people thrive, because that’s how organizations thrive too.
Outside of work, I’m a wife and mom of two boys. If not on a soccer field, you’ll likely find us hiking in the mountains or adding stamps to our National Parks Passports. As a proud “boy mom,” I spend a lot of time learning, laughing, and being challenged – in all the best ways. If you’re looking for a partner who can bring both heart and strategy to your talent efforts, I’d love to connect!
