Testimonials
This session was informative and fun and I'm ready to step up my productivity! I really liked how we focused on what was most important to me. Before, I was feeling stressed and judging myself for not getting more done in a day! After the session with Marilyn, I had tools to help me get more done! Don't stay stuck. Just take a chance and talk to Marilyn.. Talking with Marilyn and putting my to-do list down on paper made me see it is possible to cross things off the list! I love the framework of concentrated focus time with the scheduled breaks. I felt so relieved to see progress and celebrated during each break!
Lori M, Tulsa Marilyn is an incredible coach. She is warm, kind, giving, and funny. I started working with Marilyn during a particularly challenging time in my life where I felt stuck and unhappy both personally and professionally. Her personalized approach is effective: her techniques and homework assignments helped me build my confidence, set goals, navigate change, cope with stress, and identify what I want in my personal life and work-wise. In the time that we worked together she guided me through big changes in my life: I began applying to jobs and got a better job, changed my living situation for the better, and worked on identifying values and goals to make a career change. I have now completed a school program that I succeeded in and will be changing careers. I truly recommend Marilyn and value my time with her as I am now a happier, more confident person.

Marilyn worked with me for over a year. She helped me overcome my anxiety regarding driving. With Marilyn's coaching, I was able to gather the tools I needed to believe in myself and eventually take (and pass) my driving test. Marilyn has also worked with me while I went thorough nursing school. She got me through extremely stressful times and the obstacles I encountered. Here guidance was invaluable! Anyone looking for a Thought Organizer should work with Marilyn as she is professional and easy to talk through life's problems.

Marilyn is highly intuitive and compassionate. She created a safe space and the appropriate challenges to push me to live into my full potential. She guided me down a path that I wanted to go for a long time. I found a part of me that was temporarily lost. With Marilyn’s inquiries and powerful questions, I am living life more powerfully and best of all I discovered the fun-loving and exuberant me again. I am fortunate and grateful to have Marilyn as my coach.
