Mary Lou QuinlanAbout Mary Lou

Like many women, Mary Lou Quinlan grew up trying to do the right thing. A self-professed Type A good girl, her persistence paid off in a high-powered career as CEO of a large New York ad agency, until one day, after 20 years of over-working, she hit a moment of truth… and walked away from her overscheduled life for five unprecedented weeks.

Thanks to the space of that time off, she changed her life. Her fascination with women’s reluctance to give themselves a break is behind her new book, Time Off for Good Behavior. In her new book, she interviews 40 other women who dared to step away from their routines and recreate their lives.

A nationally recognized speaker, author and marketing consultant, Mary Lou heads her own women’s consultancy called Just Ask a Woman, also the title of her first book. She has received numerous honors including Advertising Woman of the Year from Ad Women of New York and the Matrix Award for Communication from New York Women in Communications. She’s been featured in The New York Times, The Wall St. Journal, Business Week and on CNBC, CNN and NPR. She’s written for O, The Oprah Magazine, Marie Claire, Fast Company and MORE.

She is a member of the board of trustees of her alma mater, Saint Joseph’s University and a board director for 1800Flowers.com.
