Tracy MacNeal Shares Her Story of Using IAMX

Tracy MacNeal, CEO of Materna Medical, sharing how she raised 10 million during covid and how she uses IAMX in her work.


"I use IAMX along with Karen's support to instill life values and meaning into my professional work. Using the IAMX Compass to inform organizational strategy and execute company tactics toward clearly articulated goals moves us in the direction of greater meaning and profit. The IAMX compass is a tool that helps navigate the uncertainty of markets while maintaining a deep sense of who we are and how we want to show up in the world. I recommend IAMX for people who want their True Work in the World and their career to align. I also hope to establish business to business relationships with other companies skilled in navigating the IAMX Compass. It's a game changer."

~ Link Shumaker, CEO, Biosystems Engineering

“Using IAMX to create our Genius Culture is all about us having those conversations that afford somebody who could be the victim of change the opportunity to instead be the architect of that change. So if I have an idea and I’m about to thrust a change on somebody, the onus is on ME to work with people I’m thrusting this change upon to work WITH them on creating the change. Why I’m making the change has to be clear, and WHAT the change looks like also becomes clear – with people’s involvement. That’s the essence of Genius Culture.”

~Peter Frost, Chairman and CEO, ATW Companies

“Karen is a dynamic, smart and dedicated leadership and career coach who has an amazing talent for getting clients connected to their own potential and power. Using the IAMX approach, she helps me see areas where I am blocking things from coming into my life, and empowers me to know my value, claim my best life and get what I want – increasing my pay in the process.”

~Jill Taylor, Senior Sales Director, Alaffia

“The True Self Assessment easily showed me how I had the controllable stuff with my work under control. The assessment did show me the opportunity I have which is looking more closely at the relationships around me and the stakeholders in the rest of my world where I can have more influence. I see the gap, and I’m going to deal with it!”

~ Martin Evans, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Renaissance Energy Partners

“When I first started with IAMX coaching, I was angry about my work situation. Then I stopped struggling over it and thought ‘maybe this is a gift’. Because of IAMX coaching I have manifested the career change that I needed to. I have accepted a new position with the Center for International Education on the campus where I currently work. I have negotiated a raise, the possibility of a more flexible schedule, the opportunity to be mentored by strong, respected women in that department (no more dinosaurs) and a probationary track leading to tenured status. Thank you for your support, stories of hope and perseverance, and for the courage to be me!”

~ Christine Wolf, Assistant Director of Global and International Studies, UW-Milwaukee

“IAMX allowed us to clarify everyone’s wants and act on them, instead of trying to force people to do things or getting caught up in either/or thinking. We use the IAMX Compass in almost every meeting to help us clarify WHY we’re doing something and create buy-in with less push back. IAM has helped us to let go of or ignore small speed bumps and not see them as walls.

~ Rob Hall, President, Paramatech Corporation

~Kevin Wilder, Regional Vice President, Workforce Recruitment at Eastridge

“IAMX has given us a common language to name where we’re spending our energy and assess whether this is a wise investment, without making people bad or wrong in the process. Before IAMX it was confusing because some people thrive on drama, they create it or are passive. Now we deal with it in a constructive way.”

~ Mike Howard, President, Judson A. Smith

“I’ve been successful creating Genius Culture by using the IAMX tools in a unique and flexible way. Each group of people is as unique as each individual in the group – some need more structured and formal training, others need informal experiential learning. I’ve been able to use the tools in appropriate ways in a just-in-time fashion – to create culture change that sticks.”

~Toni Tamagno, Director of Human Resources, ATW Companies

“It takes time to understand why a project is important and plan what we are trying to accomplish. But when we slow down to do this work, to know what’s in scope and out of scope with a project, we have greater success. IAMX guided us in how to be more successful with our projects.”
