"JUMP!"
Bold Journey Meet Dr. Mary J. Huntley October 13, 2023
Hi Dr. Mary, we appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
Resilience is the ability to spring back or bounce back into shape after being bent, stretched out of the original shape or form. I am honored and grateful to be apart of a generation of strong women of color who had to navigate some very challenging situations with very few resources. My mother and grandmother instilled in me the importance of resilience. They constantly reminded me that life can present many stumbling blocks, but it was up to me to find a way to utilize them as stepping stones to reach my goal. I am cognizant that opportunity and opposition travel in the same entourage. Therefore, whenever I am faced with a seemingly “challenging” situation, I quickly assess it as a learning opportunity. Once I focus on the opportunity the opposition becomes less important. And the intended setback (opposition/challenge) provides an opportunity for a greater comeback (resilience).
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I am a servant leader and the Executive Founder and CEO of a 501(c)(3) organization that supports the community by providing back to school supplies, holiday meals, pro bono professional counseling, pro bono professional coaching, summer school grants for students, emergency meals for seniors, the Professional Mental Health Community Giveback Series to address the mental health epidemic. I am a multi-award winner including the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient and Official Presenter of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award which honors individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires those around them to take action too. And I am a multi-international bestselling author. My anthology Trust the Process: Reap the Harvest, is scheduled to release in Spring, 2024. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with Advanced Certifications, Board Certified Master Mental Health Professional, Board Certified Life Coach, International Representative and Clinical Supervisor for a Counseling Organization. I support and mentor students through their educational quest to receive their doctoral degrees. And my ideal coach client is challenged with low self-esteem, rejection, and has been overlooked and unnoticed. I provide high-octane motivation® to help them release the chains that enslave their minds. And I empower them to raise low self-esteem by setting S.M.A.R.T. goals to teach them that they can live amid poverty and possess a rich mentality that provides an escape route.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
As an entrepreneur the three most important qualities that have been impactful in my journey are:
l. Communication is very important in every aspect of life. I always endeavor to communicate clearly and specifically (focus on one topic at a time). And I definitely consider the audience’s viewpoint and requirements. I ensure that I am sharing correct facts and using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation. Lastly, I convey my message utilizing the fewest number of words. My smile and proper eye contact are always welcoming as I speak clearly and loud enough. And I should also be a good listener.
2. Competence or adequacy, possession of the required skill, knowledge, qualification of capacity is very important and much needed to ensure a measure of success. As a perpetual learner, I know the value of investing in myself. I am worth the investment, and I can keep abreast of various subject matter as necessary. And my clients become the recipients of my cutting-edge information.
3. Confidence has played a major role in my journey. As a woman of faith, I consistently believe in myself. Positivity is key to reaching all goals. I refuse to compare myself with others. I remain positive and look for good in every situation. And I don’t beat myself up if I stumble. I simply pick myself up, brush myself off, and get back into the race. I continue to put in the work to reach my goals.
For those who are early in their journey I recommend consistently believing in themselves (which builds confidence), communicating effectively and consistently, and realize that life is a marathon, not a sprint.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
The book that has played an integral role in my development is Becoming A Leader by Late Dr. Myles Munroe. Two of his dynamic quotes that I keep in mind are “Leaders are not born, but are created by life,” and “Great leaders are ordinary people who did extraordinary things because circumstances made demands on their potential.”
Life has a way of throwing a curve ball at any minute. I can sit around and complain, or I can take the necessary tools from my toolkit, show up with expectation and win the game. Challenges help develop characteristics that qualify us for the next chapter. In life we get to enjoy the illumination of learned lessons, and the inspiration of victories gained through challenges. I’m constantly reminded that opportunity and opposition always travel in the same entourage. Yes, I may be faced with a challenge. However, I must ask myself 1) how can I turn the stumbling block into a stepping stone, and 2) what lesson can I learn from the challenging situation. It is paramount to remember that challenges usually place a demand on our potential. And in some instances, we discover intrinsic and invaluable jewels and gems that complement our leadership development.
