MaryBeth “MB” Gustitus is the Founder & CEO of MILE 1 Coaching and the author of Rootbound and THRIVE, which help readers make room for growth and build lives and careers with more clarity and purpose. An entrepreneur for nearly 30 years, she works with organizations, industry-specific groups, private companies, and individuals across the U.S. and internationally to help them communicate better, work better together, and stay steady under pressure. She is a Performance Coach, Professional Facilitator, and Behavioral Analyst specializing in DISC, and she is trained in the Positive Intelligence mental fitness model, which she uses to help people respond rather than react when stress runs high.
Known for her energy, humor, and straight-talking style, MB creates sessions where people feel safe enough to be real and bold enough to grow, and where they leave with tools they can use right away. Off the stage, she’s a wife, mom of four, grandmother of four, and dog mom to a lazy golden retriever named Gus.
