Meet Marilyn

Marilyn is an Associate Certified Coach, an author and Speaker, whose clients understand the work/life connection and desire to do meaningful, productive and fulfilling work. In everyone there is a story and for so many of us the biggest part of our own story is about the work we do. Doing the work that we love brings joy. This is how we contribute value to others and create joy for ourselves.

Marilyn is an expert at guiding her clients to create winnable strategies for work and in their lives with the start point for every client to discover and strengthen their personal brand. She has created and led workshops for sales teams, corporate sales leaders and individuals on topics that are designed to help clients excel personally to contribute to company growth.

Her clients and workshop participants value her experience in sales and sales leadership and her ability to tap into her client’s authentic self to pull out the good stuff that is often hidden behind the corporate suit. After twenty five years of being on the front line of transacting business with customers and connecting with C-level executives to earn their business, Marilyn lends expertise to every facet of the sales and sales leadership practice within small and medium businesses.

She emphasizes that conditioning of the mind, body and spirit is where the real work is to begin with right thinking for making needed shifts. She provides enduring support and encouragement for her clients through the change process. With a gracious sense of humor, Marilyn brings laughter and fun to the time she spends with clients.

Marilyn’s strength as a Coach is found in her ability to get quickly to the heart of what blocks the client from moving forward, and then create options and finally a blueprint for success. The client learns that the value of the coaching engagement is the know-how to gain ACCESS to who, what and when you need - everytime!
