Executive Leadership, Team & Group Coaching
Feedback from Coaching Clients:
“I absolutely love working with Marian. She takes the time to listen to the goals I have for each session and then makes sure that by the end, I feel like we’ve achieved those goals. I’ve been working with her for a few years now and we’ve covered so much ground – Marian can truly help with just about any problem. She also really understands me and tailors her approach to me and my needs. I wouldn’t be where I am without her coaching.” ~ Alicia M., Head of Growth Strategy, Telecom Company

“Marian has been a primary supporter in my career over the years because as a manager – and now a senior executive who has increased responsibilities with direct impact on the business, revenue, and employees – I still need consistent coaching support to be the best leader possible. Marian coaches me to be a leader who is able to guide teams, executives, and the organization in the most productive and results-oriented manner that also allows individual contributors to be independent, fulfilled by their jobs, inspired, and motivated to do their best for the organizations we work for.
Marian has been able to help by focusing on my needs, personalizing the sessions to me and the industry, the company I work in – let it be media, advertising, marketing, finance, publishing, or technology – with additional emphasis on my development as a woman in many male dominant sectors which is critical and requires further expertise on her part.
Marian is able to transform tools and techniques into solutions and strategies to apply in day-to-day operations, regardless of the size of the teams or company. By building and maintaining a trusted relationship, Marian has my full confidence to appropriately balance between business ‘need-to-know’ and my professional obligations/affiliations. I look to her excellent advice on all topics from motivation, communication, retention to collaboration and even professional advancement and rely on her coaching wisdom and natural coaching instinct to ensure that I can get the most and best out of my teams and business situations.” ~ Pearl C., CEO, SaaS Content Development Company, New York, NY

“I have known Marian since 2016, when she was my first trainer for my job out of graduate school. Even then, she stood out as someone who cared about imparting knowledge, building confidence, and inspiring growth. Now, as my executive coach, Marian continues to be a guiding light in my personal and professional journey.
Through her coaching, she has helped me reconnect with my path in life and embrace the profound truth that every tall poppy has its field—a powerful reminder that we all have a place to flourish. Her ability to help me understand my unique personality type has been invaluable, giving me the clarity and focus to hone my interests and move forward with purpose.
Marian approaches coaching with wisdom, compassion, and genuine investment in her client’s success. Her insights have sharpened my understanding of my strengths and given me the courage to take my next steps in faith. She creates a safe and supportive space for reflection, growth, and actionable change, and her unwavering belief in my potential has been deeply empowering.
Marian is more than an executive coach; she’s a partner in self-discovery and a catalyst for transformation. I am incredibly grateful for her positive impact on my life, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to find clarity, confidence, and purpose in their professional and personal endeavors.” ~ Toni (Williams) DeVol, MPH, PMO-CP, CRCR, Sr. Project Manager

“I recommend working with Marian if you value straightforward critical thinking and the ability to turn it to actionable insights. For me, Marian helped me learn and internalize a theoretical framework and then use it to make practical decisions to improve the effectiveness of my behavior as a leader and an executive. One thing to remember about coaching, in general, is that its impact is proportional to the effort you put in. Marian will help you with the direction, but you need to have the initiative to drive it.” ~ Aleksandr R., Director of Product Management, Global Electric Company

“Marian was amazing! She was a great listener but most importantly, she gave me lots of tools, resources, encouragement, and specific guidelines to help me be more confident as a manager. With her help, I feel more comfortable giving feedback to a direct report that needs improvement, and she showed me how to hold her accountable without being frustrated, losing my cool, or being condescending. Marian has taught me a lot about how to communicate diplomatically and has really opened my eyes to how much skill it takes to manage people.” ~ E.K. Clinical Trials, Global Pharmaceutical Company

“I really appreciated Marian’s coaching style and approach. She provided a judgement free environment and displayed high levels of empathy. The “homework” was helpful in my journey to improve some of my leadership skills and confidence. ” ~ Jana B., Director of Network Development & Physician Engagement, Premier Children’s Hospital System

“The coaching experience with Marian was very beneficial, and I feel stronger from it! The level of transparency and raw dialogue that I could have with her was remarkable. It was great to have someone to bounce ideas off of and help me understand my strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots. She shared articles and questionnaires which was very important because they provided an additional perspective and allowed me to unwrap my thoughts and evolve my thinking and approaches. Marian also helped me to recognize that I have a lot of great ideas, but I need to be more proactive about capturing them on paper and sharing my vision with my team both professionally and in non-work endeavors. Even my wife noticed changes in me since I had been coaching with Marian. I know there is still more room for me to grow, but I feel really good about where I am today and the trajectory that I am on.” ~ Korri J., Sr. Lead Machine Learning Engineer – Enterprise Analytics, Premier Fast-Food Chain

“As people say, the most wonderful things happen to us unexpectedly. I met Marian at one of the Learning and Development workshops a couple of years ago. Her talent, sharp knowledge of the industry, and ability to be relevant stood out immediately. I reached out for coaching, as I was unsuccessfully pursuing much needed career change. Marian’s approach was extremely personal to my needs, and her attention to detail was unmatched. Unlike other coaches I had tried before, Marian was able to help me produce visible positive results almost immediately. She helped me structure my resume, but most importantly, she coached me how to accurately communicate during interviews and present my strengths. Her tireless efforts paid off, and I am happily employed. I also would like to note Marian’s coaching work around leadership skills, including applied usage of MBTI and emotional intelligence. I would recommend Marian to anyone seeking comprehensive, customized approach to their needs.” ~ Milana K, Business Development Manager, New York, NY

“Marian took a collaborative and in-depth approach to revising my resume and cover letter. She pushed me to think deeply about my strengths and weaknesses, as well as about the path I wanted my career to take. Through conversation and personality tests, she was able to show me the best paths forward not only based on my current perceptions, but also based on what was the best fit for my talents and skills. She helped me to understand why I needed to think big. She showed me how I already had many of the skills needed for senior management roles, and how to present these skills to others. After working with her, I was able to take the leap to start a high growth company. I would definitely return to work with Marian more as my career progresses. “ ~ Candice M. Hughes, PhD, MBA, Chief Executive Officer, AdapTac Games LLC, New Jersey

“Over the past 10 months while I have been working with Marian, I have made significant changes in every area of my life. She has supported me through the completion of a professional certification program, a return to the work force, and a difficult divorce. Her thoughtful, gentle, yet precise coaching is exactly what I needed to fully embrace my own potential, challenge limiting beliefs about myself, and create the career and relationship changes that I have been wanting for years and years. There have been times in our work where I felt as if I wanted to quit and crawl back into myself, but she believed in me and my abilities and held me accountable to the version of myself that I dream of living… Thank you, Marian for helping me to navigate, and actually really love, the road to my BEST ME!!” ~ Mary-Ann, Yoga Instructor/Life Coach, New York, NY
