MARY ELLEN DONLEVY, PCC
Conversation. Clarity. Leadership.
Mary Ellen brings twenty-five years of corporate leadership and more than six years of professional coaching to every engagement. Before coaching, she built partnerships and led sales teams at McGraw-Hill/Platts, Bloomberg, Dun & Bradstreet, and the New York Stock Exchange, where she was a Managing Director. That experience shapes how she understands her clients and the challenges they face.
Today she partners with executives, leaders, and organizations across financial services, technology, manufacturing, logistics, government, and international development. Coaching is a partnership: the client defines the focus, the ideal outcome, and how success will be measured. Mary Ellen brings the questions, structure, and perspective that turn insight into action.
Whether you’re stepping into a bigger role, shaping a new strategy, or deciding what’s next, the right coaching partnership helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Why work with Springfield Coaching?
Growth isn't just a goal. It's a process of uncovering clarity and conditions to lead at your best.
Mary Ellen partners with senior leaders and high performers ready for what's next, helping them build on their strengths, sharpen their strategy, and develop the leadership presence their role demands. Her coaching is grounded in authenticity and results, combining proven coaching methodology with 25 years of real-world business experience.
Professional Leadership
Senior leaders reach a point where the skills that earned them their seat stop scaling with the role. The communication style that worked at one level creates friction at the next. The individual execution that made them indispensable becomes a liability when they need to lead through others. This is where most coaching work begins: understanding how your approach lands, where it’s working, and where it needs to evolve. The focus is on executive presence, strategic communication, emotional intelligence, and a leadership identity that fits where you’re going, not just where you’ve been.
Who this is for: Senior professionals stepping into bigger roles, leaders unsure how to act on feedback, and executives who know something needs to shift but can’t see it clearly from the inside.
Personal Growth
Leadership and personal growth are inseparable. A new role, a career crossroads, or a strategy that’s stopped working almost always raises deeper questions about values, identity, and what matters most. Coaching creates the space to work through them with clarity and intention, so you move forward from strength rather than reaction.
Who this is for: Leaders at a crossroads, whether employed or in active search, who want to shape their next chapter, and anyone ready to lead more authentically without the burnout of a strategy that no longer fits.
Teams and Organizations
When a leader grows, their team feels it. Mary Ellen works with leaders who are building or inheriting teams, navigating conflict, or creating the psychological safety that drives performance. Engagements draw on experiential learning, delivered on Zoom, at a corporate offsite, or through a team development program, and can center on a specific topic or broader team building.
Who this is for: Managers, leaders, and teams working toward more effective communication and collaboration, and organizations sponsoring individual or team coaching.
