The Inner Game of Work

   
ABOUT DAWNA MARKOVA
I support people recogizing their gifts and talents on behalf of what really matters to them in a way that sustains life. I do this in many formats. I am currently working in one-on-one thinking partnerships with a few people who are dedicated to risking the reach towards the world in a significant way.
 
ABOUT MARY JANE RYAN
I am founder and former CEO of Conari Press, one of the most successful entrepreneurial book publishers in the U.S. I draw from this experience to create thinking partnerships that focus on values- based business development, work-life balance, creativity and innovation, collaborative thinking, and personal sustainability.
 
ABOUT ANDY BRYNER
I am committed to forming caring connections with people who are searching for new ways to think about old problems. Drawing on my background and training in music, business and aikido, I help them strategize collaborative solutions in situations that habitually trigger conflict and polarization. I think with people to create bridges between the wisdom of their own experience and possibilities they want to create in the future.

Working Partnership Principles

  • The answers are inside of you. If you’re stuck, you are disconnected from your own resources.
  • The more you know about what really matters to you and what your purpose is, the easier it is to live your potential.
  • All of us are geniuses in our own way. What is most effective in problem solving is examining your patterns of success and using those strengths to deal with challenges.

“Working with Mary Jane is like reading the perfect book. As the pages go by, the words come to life, connecting with everything that is important to me. And as the last sentence approaches, I feel a surge of jubilation, because she has reconnected me to my own wisdom and made me feel powerful again.”

family business owner

 

“Building and sustaining a mass movement that embraces millions of people and doing it on a tight budget is a challenge unlike anything I ever imagined before. I was fortunate enough, however, to have a truly invaluable resource close at hand–Mary Jane Ryan.  Everything that we did had to be invented from the ground up and that meant first of all visualizing a dynamic organization that operated like nothing ever before. Mary Jane’s depth of experience and extraordinary ability to hold the big picture constantly in mind while I sorted through bewildering array of options made all the difference.”
–Will Glennon
President, Random Acts of Kindness

 

“Mary Jane has been my thinking partner for 20 years.

Is’s a simultaneously intuitive and analytical process in which I feel both supported and directed in channeling my creative business and energy.”
–Daphne Rose Kingma
