Mary Lucas Biography

Mary B. Lucas is an author, speaker, and people connector.

Lucas has more than 35 years’ experience in the staffing industry. Having climbed the corporate ladder from an entry-level customer service role to a C-level executive position, her professional background includes sales, marketing, operations, training, service delivery, talent acquisition, and organizational and executive coaching.

In 2006, she published the highly successful book, "Lunchmeat & Life Lessons," a motivational memoir and tribute to her father on how to bring out the best in yourself and others.

Companies, professional organizations and universities have invited Lucas to speak to audiences large and small and share her wit and wisdom. She has spoken to thousands of people at hundreds of corporate audiences, commencement addresses and professional meetings with one mission: to share life lessons that help people create meaningful connections and inspire themselves.
