People Are Talking

  • What set Marian apart, from the other career coaches I "interviewed", was that she immediately put me at ease. That's a fantastic quality, especially if you've never had a career coach before, like me! She's thoughtful and helpful and has recommended resources to me, that I've in turn recommended to the people I coach. Marian is upbeat, straightforward and generous, and you can just tell she's genuinely rooting for you.

  • Marian was meant to be a coach! She has an amazing breadth and depth of knowledge across industries and functions. She is engaging, high-energy, and a creative thinker. Marian is an explorer and a non-stop learner, bringing a wide variety of approaches and possibilities to every situation. She is a thoughtful listener and sounding board, and provides honest, insightful feedback. Above all, Marian is supportive, dedicated, and kind. Working with her has been invaluable; her perspective and ability to act as a confidante and guide through some challenging situations provided me with a more open outlook and added confidence when I needed it most.

  • Marian is simply the best person I've worked with to find a job or get guidance on a new career. She is always prepared and ready with several suggestions on ways to find a role or contact a hiring manager. Perhaps most importantly, she is a great listener, eager to help her clients move on to the next stage of their search until they find the right position. She also deeply cares about helping make that happen. I can't thank her enough for her time and effort on my behalf!

  • I lost my job in my late 50s and needed help in seeking new employment—something I hadn’t had to do in many years. Marian came to my rescue! She had a super challenge because I was resistant to any change. I felt that I had nothing to offer. She encouraged me to review my skills and see them as positive assets. She worked with me until I began to see that I really did have something positive to bring to a new employer. We simulated potential job interviews and I began to be able to present my skills in a positive light and be much more confident in my abilities. It was quite an amazing experience that I could change so much in such a short time. And as a result, I was able to restart my career and continue working for many more years.

  • Marian is at her best when she’s helping people navigate the turbulent and unpredictable job search journey. Working with her is an absolute game changer! From our very first session she took the time to really understand what makes me tick, my goals, strengths and area for development. It feels like chatting with a friend who genuinely cares about my success. She is a great active listener with a high EQ and can sense the moments when I need more support or a firmer hand and more accountability. Throughout our sessions she has provided personalized guidance and practical strategies from networking, tracking the job search process, developing a brand statement to interview prep and negotiation tactics. Her insights are always spot-on and her feedback has not only helped me refine my approach but also build my confidence. What truly sets Marian apart is her genuine commitment and investment in my success. She truly cares about my journey and has been there for me every step of the way. She goes above and beyond to provide unwavering support and development even outside of our scheduled sessions by creating not one but two support groups to help her clients with the emotional roller coaster of the job search. I look forward to our sessions every week and am so grateful that I won the lottery when I met her.

  • Marian is a kind, supportive, caring, trustworthy, loving, knowledgeable, warm, and encouraging soul. She knows when to step in to push someone out of their comfort zone while being careful to allow them to make their own decisions that suit their needs; following their heart and/or mind. She never hesitates to lend a listening ear, provide encouragement in times when all seems hopeless, and she is a beacon of light at the end of a very, dark tunnel.

  • My daughter graduated from college with a great education but she did not have the final set of tools and skills she would need to begin her career search. Luckily I was connected to Marian through a colleague who was familiar with her work. Over a short period of time, Marian helped my daughter create a professional resume with a complementary LinkedIn profile she would need when applying for jobs and building her professional network. She also helped her develop some essential skills like learning how to network and perform your best on a job interview. Thanks to Marian, my daughter's career journey is underway as she is currently working for a world leading healthcare provider.
