Mary Foley Biography

Mary Foley is a renowned speaker and author, known for her engaging advice aimed at boosting career confidence among busy women. Drawing from her breadth of experiences in both employment and entrepreneurship, she speaks to the challenges and victories unique to professional growth.

Her professional journey began at America Online after she decided to leave behind her engineering studies at VA Tech. Starting as a customer service representative, she quickly advanced, becoming the company's first head of corporate training. During her 10-year tenure at America Online, she navigated numerous obstacles including multiple company layoffs and personal challenges, which tested and ultimately reinforced her resilience.

In pursuit of personal and professional growth, Foley did not shy away from reinventing her life. She earned a Master’s degree in Organization Development and ventured into entrepreneurship. She co-owned an HR company, launched her own business, and authored her first book by age 36. Among her books, her latest, "Live Like Your Nail Color, Even If You Have Naked Nails," achieved instant bestseller status on Amazon.

Currently, Foley continues to make significant strides in her career. She has authored three books and is a featured blogger on WorkingMother.com. Additionally, she developed the video program “Keys to Being a Confident, Courageous, Career-Savvy Woman.” Beyond writing and creating video content, she actively delivers keynote speeches on a variety of topics including overcoming adversity, women's issues, and workplace effectiveness, with popular programs such as "A Little Testosterone Goes a Long Way" and "Outrageously in Charge of Your Life and Lovin' It!"

Foley’s influence extends into media; she was a former co-host of the "Girlfriend We Gotta Talk!" radio show and has been featured on the cover of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. She was even humorously spoofed on the E! Entertainment TV Show "The Soup." Her varied experiences and accolades, including being named the ABWA Richmond Business Woman of the Year in 2010, underscore her unique blend of insight and humor, making her an inspirational figure for many.
