Mory has helped me hone my voice, purpose, and power. I don't know where life will take me but I know that from working with Mory I will navigate it with my best, most centered self.
—Jonathan Van Ness, TV Personality, Producer, Comedian, Founder of JVN Hair
Mory is truly one of a kind. As a poet I’m at a loss for words because working with her is so transformative that any attempt to describe it feels insufficient. So don’t just take my word for it, take my heart for it: her exceptional and refined method—seamlessly integrating strategy with spirituality—gets at the root of things, removing blockages and stagnancy so that we can reconnect with what matters most and manifest joy, wonder, and possibility.
—Alok Vaid-Menon, Poet, Author, Performer
I really want to thank you for the shift you helped create in my life. I was at a very low place when we started working together and you really helped me out of it. I'm eternally grateful for the work that you do.
—Caro Guzmán, Actor
No matter what challenge or opportunity I encounter running a company, I bring it to Mory and we unpack it together. Mory's coaching is a perfect balance between listening, guiding, and providing active tools which help me navigate any new terrain. Through her coaching i'm stepping into a new level of my leadership - one that feels very true and natural to me but something that was very hard to access on my own.
—Kara Brothers, President, Starface
Simply put Mory is a game-changer. Her approach to purpose has helped me immensely, not just on a tangible and tactical level, but also on a spiritual cellular level. Experienced, smart, funny, strategic, empathetically gifted, Mory deeply understands the accumulated challenges and complexities that trips me, knocks me down and has kept me in limiting thought patterns and is providing me with the active tools to navigate, ascend and expand as my truest self.
—Henrietta Gallina, Creative Director, Fashion
Mory is an excellent coach, mentor and daily dose of sanity. She has the innate ability to connect with her clients, allowing her to cut through the noise that we so often find ourselves in and provide key insights which challenge ingrained ways of thinking. Mory always shows up as her authentic self and in doing so, she gives permission to others to do the same. In the time we have worked together, I have personally benefited greatly through improved confidence and belief in myself, the concept of ‘imposter syndrome’ no longer lingers in the back of my mind.
—Hailey Wojcik, Global Head of People, The Business of Fashion
When you are caught up managing the everyday issues while running a company and managing a team, you can start to lose sight of what you uniquely bring to the table - be it through distractions with other issues or gaslighting from colleagues. Working with Mory helped me to remember what I brought to the table and not shy away from it just because I felt beaten down. This helped me to be more effective with the team and make steps toward feeling more balanced at work.
—Alisyn Malek, Executive Director, Commission on the Future of Mobility
My organization has engaged Mory Fontanez and the 822 group over the past few years to assist in managing rapid growth and teaching us more effective ways to lead and navigate through turbulent times. What I have found most beneficial is the practical approach to implementing new ideas in a relatively shortly period of time. Her guidance is clear, intelligent and results in action plans that can be readily implemented to achieve the desired results.
—Grace Currid, Senior Vice President, Operations at Homebridge
Mory has changed my life! My sessions with her have not only improved my mental health, but all other aspects of my life as well. Mory's comprehensive approach has given me tools to tackle the smaller conflicts of my day to day and huge life chapter moments with ease.
