About

My name is Mark Vay and by day I work as an organizational change consultant and executive coach. I help companies and their senior managers successfully achieve real and lasting change.  These efforts can range from a total corporate culture change and business transformation to building personal success plans that will help both the individual and the organization. Within this mix is the successful adoption of new technologies, new ways of efficiently accomplishing work and increasing the involvement and engagement of the employees that drive the day-to-day success of the organization.

Whew! That’s a lot of words just to say I help make companies a better place to work by focusing on individuals instead of solely the bottom line.

On the personal side, I’m the proud father of two wonderful boys who are still young enough to think Dad is still (occasionally) “cool,” and husband to an incredible woman who, after 15 years of marriage, still amazes me at her depth of love and compassion for those around her. I am truly a blessed man.

Bottom line, I’m probably an awful lot like many of you. Somewhere mid-career, have enjoyed some measure of success, but at the point in life where you feel you should have everything figured out both professionally and personally, but still struggle day-to-day with balance and meaning.

So, if I’m no different than anyone else, why come here to read or listen? It is my hope to bring some of the ideas and change processes that have worked very well in the corporate world to the individual, personal level. I don’t intend to give a lecture each week, but rather start a conversation. I invite you to participate; because if I have learned nothing else over the years, it is that no one can be truly successful in achieving their goals and dreams without the help and support of others. It is my sincere wish to create something truly special with Thryve; a community of motivated individuals committed to helping each other succeed, regardless of how they personally define success.
