How We Start​ed

Hello!!   Mary Fernandez leads Women of Help and Influence as a motivational speaker, coach, and mentor. She has dedicated her life’s work to helping women move from being stuck, stopped, or stalled. Mary inspires audiences to reconnect with their personal power within so that they can walk in the authority they were born with.

Women of Help and Influence was a containment unit for all the volunteer and community projects Mary has created or supported for over 50 years. Whatever a group or organization needed, she jumped right in and made their mission her mission.

Founder & CEO of WOHI

Your value will be not what you know; it will be what you share.

– Mary Fernandez, Founder of WOHI​

As a business owner, she became involved in community leadership by serving in her Community League and at the same time serving on the Business Association holding positions from member, secretary to the president. This same organization began to lose it’s fire after the long time President passed away.  She returned as temporary President to see if it could be revied or shut down.  She made the tough decision to end all efforts and shut it down as many duplicates or like groups began to form.  

Simultaneously, she saw a need for personal and project development in children’s schools and community youth programs to showcase the youth’s skills. Mary saw an opportunity to create collaborative projects that would further serve the community, the students, and their parents. Together, they launched two major projects that had a lasting impact to this day. 

Mary’s desire to positively influence groups, organizations, and individuals continued in college where she collaborated with others to build the confidence and personal presence of participants while raising funds for student leadership programs. 

After years of making a difference in people’s lives, Mary was introduced to a direct sales company where she received mentoring, guidance, and personal development that led her to the top 2% in her first year. That experience exposed her to women from all walks of life. 

Mary saw that some women lost their edge and identity in their jobs or social circles. These women had dreams and goals that they have been thinking about for more than 10 years but were not able to act upon. 

While working to elevate her presence in the business world, she decided to package her services in a way that would reach more people and allow her to get have an income doing what she used to do for years free. Like a car with a missing tire, the lack of knowledge and information specific to what she needed to do to connect the dots was a constant issue. Mary only became fully equipped when she researched out and hired coaches and paid for key programs.

About Mary
