About Mary Rankin

I empower leaders, individuals and teams to build mental fitness and happier lives.

Building Lasting Mental Fitness

The cornerstone of my work, Positive Intelligence Mental Fitness (PQ) is not one of those programs you start, benefit from for a short time, and then let dwindle away as a result of failing to build lasting habits.

PQ® training lays down new neural pathways to form new habits – strengthening your inner sage muscle, which can ultimately reduce stress, increase your ability to handle life’s challenges, improve health and wellness, and foster better relationships.

Founded by Mary Rankin.

Coach for leaders and teams in the healthcare sector. 

Compass was born out of a passion for people. That is, a passion for giving people the tools they need to achieve their full potential.

In 1997, Compass first began as a health industry process reengineering consultancy

(a fancy way of saying I would redesign business process to achieve dramatic improvements). 

I soon discovered that the main inhibitor to positive results were the leaders and teams who were grappling with self-regulation challenges, negative emotions and strained relationships – both with themselves and those around them. The importance of leadership development and team-building was paramount – and this is how Compass evolved into the specialist coaching business it is today. 

Prior to coaching, I worked as a clinician, teacher, consultant and executive in the healthcare industry. This gave me firsthand insight of the challenges that come with organisational life – and there’s a lot of them. That means I’ve walked the walk and I get where you’re coming from. 

I apply this lived experience to empower individuals and teams – from graduates through to senior executives and large-scale team development and organisational wide change programs. Helping people shift to a positive mindset and transform their lives and relationships is what I do best.  

Then, after 20 successful years of leadership and team development coaching, I discovered the power of Positive Intelligence (PQ®) and the transformative impact it has on people’s lives, including my own. It was a gamechanger for me and my coaching. 

Today, I use the PQ program to underpin all my coaching work. Together, we can build your mental fitness and see you thrive in your life, career and relationships. Are you ready?
