Background

About Mary Briggs

I design leadership development and employee engagement programs that don't just teach—they transform organizations and deliver measurable business results.Over the past 8+ years, I've built award-winning learning experiences that scale across global organizations and drive real impact. My proudest achievement? Co-creating Living Leadership, a program that grew from a regional pilot to a global flagship initiative, earning HR Network Scotland's Learning & Development Award of the Year (2021) and reducing leader turnover by 21% across 867+ leaders in 4 regions.What drives me is building programs from the ground up—taking an idea from concept to execution, securing stakeholder buy-in without formal authority, and proving ROI through data. Whether it's launching an internal social platform to users with 58% active engagement, designing recognition programs with 97% digital adoption, or creating bilingual communications that strengthen culture across six countries, I bring a builder's mindset and an educator's heart to everything I do.My background as a classroom teacher and graduate residence director gave me a foundation in instructional design, curriculum development, and adult learning theory—skills I now apply to developing leaders at scale. I'm passionate about turning learning into a business advantage, not just a checkbox.Currently leading employee engagement and leadership development initiatives for employees across the Americas at Menzies Aviation. M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from LSU.Open to connecting with fellow L&D professionals, HR leaders, and anyone passionate about building people and culture. Let's talk about how great leadership development drives bottom-line results.
