Taking elite leaders further.

“

We'll admit it, we were skeptical at first. Over the years, we've received dozens, maybe hundreds, of requests from executive coaches promising to amplify our leadership potential or 10X our business. Marie is the real deal. It hasn't been a whole year since we first engaged with her, and the results have been extraordinary. She has quickly become an invaluable member of our leadership team and a critical partner in helping us make big, tough decisions.

Marie has a simple and attractive yet powerful way of offering insights to help leaders reframe and respond to high-pressure situations. One of her strongest points is her constant reflection and focus on the changes I want to make and how to ensure that these changes endure. My work with her was highly successful — well beyond my expectations — and still helps me with navigating complex organizations today. I am a better leader for my organization and team because of our work together.

When Marie joined our advisory team about two years ago, I had conducted many interviews with Business Psychologists who flatly turned me down, telling me they didn't see ours as a workable or fixable situation. I came to understand that Marie thrives in challenging situations. Marie’s keen observation skills, her innate ability to reframe difficult situations, along with her ability to identify and pinpoint our conflicting personalities, has been significant in healing this team so we can move forward in performance and succession.

With her at our side, we continually work toward morphing ourselves into a team of business owners who listen to each other, striving for alignment. Her calm and reserved demeanor, often in the height of conflict, is both arresting and captivating and leaves me thinking about what she said. This helps me re-center to make the best decisions for our business. Her style is quite simply magic. We are so fortunate she agreed to work with us; we are simply better people because of it.

I found Marie’s strength to be her ability to ask precisely targeted questions and elicit valuable insights. She has that gift of coaching in a manner that leaves you feeling as though she merely isolated and revealed for you aspects of your leadership abilities and weaknesses that you already knew, but had never fully appreciated or addressed. To me, that made her suggestions authentic and easy to incorporate, as they were steps in a direction that felt quite natural. I have seen the power of the subtle changes I have made, and credit Marie for that fine tuning.

Working with Marie is an extremely rewarding experience both personally and professionally. Marie is excellent at understanding how to work with her clients based on their specific personality, mode of learning and areas of focus. She provided me with the guidance I needed to enhance my business relationships and leadership skills across all interactions — with peers, leaders and direct reports. She is also quite adept at reading between the lines to truly understand where and how you need to focus your efforts to ensure you are getting the most out of each session, while ensuring you are adhering to whatever goals the two of you create at the outset. I highly recommend Marie and would definitely work with her again.
