In less then one hour, Marian helped me see my direction. Before I spoke with her, I had been stuck for years regarding my business and the direction it needed to take. Through the simple act of talking it out loud to Marian and just a few of the clarifying questions she asked me, what I needed to do became clear.”
Tara M. Hessert, President, Dynamic Pension Services, Inc. Ohio

“You really helped me try to work out what I wanted to do…and one of the things I wrote down in my notebook … was that I wanted to design for West Elm. This actually became a reality and you helped me get there. Your help, your insight, your kindness and sensitivity to me have been more important to me than I can really express. I don’t think there is anyone better I could work with. You helped me stare down the gremlins. I could not have done this without you.”

“We had the best billing months we’ve ever had in the history of the business. Pretty much blew the doors off of anything we’ve ever done before…set new records—all this during off-season, in the middle of a recession. When our books were reviewed by a prospective buyer for our business, we were asked to account for the sudden spike in our gross revenues. I said that was easy to answer. It was working with you! Thank you Marian! (Jill and her partner sold the business and Jill is now happily employed at her new firm!)
Jill Summerscales, Senior Bridge, Naples, FL
“Your presentation on marketing in tough economic times was a huge success and on behalf of the Miami-Dade Coalition on Aging, I would like to extend this personal thank you.”
Saul Chapnick, Director, Miami, Florida
I was depressed about my job situation and convinced that the only thing possible was a total career change (but what?), so I started working with Marian. By identifying what my needs are, within a few weeks I experienced a major shift. Suddenly I was able to see opportunities in my chosen field, in which I have worked for 20 years, and not just problems. It was so liberating to feel that I can have a dream built on my experience.
Right now I’m enjoying my current job while building my own business on the side. Marian has helped me re-envision my future and it is exciting to explore the many different roads I can follow.
Peter Wright, Virtual Label, LLC, Brooklyn, NY
Marian has been a wonderful coach over the past two years and I am very grateful for our connection. I love the way that she is totally present with me during our sessions. She always seem to have the right question that really gets me thinking about the possibilities around my current situation. She also has a way of keeping me on purpose. I get off the call truly feeling like we have accomplished something. Sometimes it’s small, other times huge.
Marian uses metaphors that help me visualize outcomes. This really connects with my learning style. Our coaching relationship has provided me with the ability to hear myself and understand the words and thoughts that I create for myself. She has taken these words and supported me into moving into action. This action has brought me to a place of creating my dream job and life. I value our relationship very much and look forward to what the future holds. All in all, her listening skills as well as her compassion and thought provoking questions have me looking forward to our next connection.

I turned fifty years old with feelings of great joy. I achieved many of my career and family goals and was in the process of buying my first piece of property, a new office. I felt surges of energy and creativity and a desire to try new projects. In past therapy I have tackled my fear of being “too big” and felt I had overcome much of it. Because I wanted to ensure that I wouldn’t hold myself back I hired Marian to coach me through these exciting times. She understood me and the nuances of my situation and I felt supported by her. Being the motivated, focused and hard working person that I am, she helped me realize that my first task was to hold open a space to notice what came up for me daily, to open my heart and mind and allow a personal vision to unfold without struggling or “efforting.”
As a vision and direction started to emerge, Marian gave me homework assignments. We examined the values that were important to me. I developed plans for my new office, and brainstormed what I wanted to do with my newest avocation beading. Marian helped me examine the curtain that tried to come down when I dream too big and helped me stay with the excitement. She also encouraged me to develop a life plan outline that helped me prioritize aspects of my life such as my office, outreach, developing programs, personal nourishment, finances and family. Three intensive months of coaching helped me envision my path and set my priorities. And although I only stand 4’11″, I feel big.
