Bring More Joy and Zest to Your Work and Life

Are we a fit for each other?

It's not easy trusting someone else with your worries, your fears, or your wishes and dreams for your future. But that's exactly what happens in a coaching relationship.

I don't expect you to put all your faith in me from day 1, but you should know that I have every intention of using all my resourcefulness to guide you into living up to your full potential.

My clients appreciate my logical, systematic, and yet intuitive approach that keeps them on track and helps them clear away the mental and physical clutter that inhibits their progress. I won't judge your choices, but because it's YOUR success that most interests me, I will tell you what I see, while providing the emotional structure and strategic support you need to make the positive changes that lead to a balanced, joy-filled, successful life and work.

There may be times when you'll respond to a suggested action with: "Oh, I couldn't possibly do that!".

If I didn't believe you could, I wouldn't suggest it. I follow Henry Ford's guideline when working with you: "If you think you can, you will. If you think you can't, you won't."

I stick with you through whatever decisions and actions are required for you to . . .
•  Change jobs or careers
•  Grow your business  
•  Start a new business
•  Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people
•  Improve your relationships
•  Let go of people that simply suck you dry
•  And to create a balanced, joyful, prosperous life

Will this work for you? It will if . . .

• You're ready for change - The old stories no longer provide enough satisfaction. You want more out of life, and you want it now.

• You are willing to change - Are you willing to take a good look in the mirror, and maybe - just once for starters - put yourself first, ask for what you want, fire a few people from your life, and take action to change your situation?

• You're a No Excuses sort of person - Sure, I'll give you a couple minutes to whine, but we both know where that gets you - nowhere. You can look at a situation, work with me to figure out a solution, and then implement that solution.

• Creativity is not a foreign word - You enjoy brainstorming ideas, and you're willing to risk putting some of those ideas into action. You're willing to try new things and new ways of being in the world.

• You are committed to improving - You're committed to developing your skills, increasing your knowledge, and building your confidence to take on even greater challenges - all to do exactly what you want to do .

My clients are entrepreneurs at heart, even if they're working for a large international corporation.

David, for instance, was an accountant working for company who was making his employer quite successful with his many innovative ideas. He was, to put it mildly, unhappy. At heart, he was an entrepreneur just working a job. Once he accepted this truth, he earned his CPA and MBA in less than 2 years and then started a manufacturing company.  He now has a new outlook on life, receiving local and national awards for his ideas and opinions. He says his life is FUN again, and is more fulfilling than he could have ever imagined.

Francine Glick, President Water Journey, Ltd. Livingston, New Jersey www.waterjourney.com/ “I was my business…  It was getting out of control. Marla helped me to formulate my priorities... and slowly, but surely, my company now has 6 employees. Things are so much more under control. I never would have suspected to be at this place a year ago. And it’s helped my personal life as well. I tell Marla I’m going to be working with her forever and ever. And I would recommend her to anyone very, very highly.”

Can you really succeed this time?

You are the architect of your success. I help you brainstorm, manage tasks, and give you the encouragement to make bold moves… like firing a non-performing employee or taking the leap to start a new career or business. You will do things you didn’t think were possible, and you will see possibility and opportunity where you once saw a problem. I look forward to us telling your success story.

So……

• Don’t call if you’re a committed lone ranger – we build a relationship based on mutual trust. You’re are willing to take direction and explore new ideas and are interested in leading your own life

• Don’t bother if you’re a follower – if you want me to tell you what to do, you’re out of luck. Together, we clarify your vision and develop your plan. You move forward at your pace and a direction of your choosing.

• Be ready to succeed… If you tell me you want something, I will tenaciously keep you on track until you achieve – or exceed - your goal. I don’t accept excuses, and neither should you.

I’m tough, yet compassionate. I care so much about my clients that they inevitably see me as a trusted friend and mentor, with many clients staying with me for four or more years. To work well with me, you’ll be open to receiving  deep and meaningful attention. And, you’ve got to be able to handle positive feedback and truthful comments.

In short, you’re ready to change your life in such a way that will bring you joy, friendships and affluence as you’ve never experienced before. If this is what you want – and you’re ready and willing to do what it takes to make it happen, then you’re ready for the next step:

Set up your first coaching session, which is absolutely free and without obligation. I want to know as much as you that you will succeed as a result of our work together.
