| Mary Foley: From Math to Manicures |
|
Mary Foley has a reputation for her spunk and experience. Fresh out of college, Mary set aside her hard-earned engineering degree from Virginia Tech, to search for a career she loved. She took a job as an $8 an hour customer service representative “just to pay the bills” at the then-unknown America Online. During AOL’s hyper-growth, Mary was promoted four times, survived six layoffs, and became AOL’s first head of Corporate Training. While her career shot up, Mary’s personal life was challenged by a difficult, sometimes threatening, marriage. When she unexpectedly hit the glass ceiling, Mary reached deep inside to find the inner courage - the bodaciousness -to recreate her life. That decision set her on a path where she has never looked back.
Today she’s a popular speaker to women’s groups, co-host of the radio show Girlfriend We Gotta Talk, and author of three books – Bodacious! Career: Outrageous Success for Working Women, Bodacious! Woman: Outrageously in Charge of Your Life and Lovin’ It!, and her newly released Live Like Your Nail Color, Even If You Have Naked Nails. She also created the Live Like Your Nail Color brand of nail polish with such fun colors as Playful Pink and Make Mamma Happy. In short,you could say that Mary went from math to manicures. In her media adventures, she has been on the cover of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine and spoofed on the E! Entertainment TV Show The Soup. Spoofed or not, Mary takes it all in stride. She says wearing red nail polish helps! Heads Up! Mary Foley's bio requires Adobe AcrobatTM Reader to view. You can get the latest Adobe AcrobatTM Reader at no cost by clicking the icon below.
