I used Marnie's Crossroads Coaching throughout a period of a few months while I was applying to graduate school. Marnie was incredibly helpful in helping me workshop and develop frameworks for my goals. She also employed useful tactics toward supporting my time management and honing my sense of accountability throughout each step of my process. As a bonus, Marnie delivered me helpful writing feedback as I worked to draft and edit application materials. Overall, Marnie is a gifted coach: she delivers effective, clear instructions with a warm, approachable and insightful demeanor. She consistently encouraged my efforts and helped me develop a better sense of confidence as I worked to articulate, fulfill and ultimately gain more independence toward achieving my goals. Thanks Marnie! read more

After years of college and multiple degrees, my career still was not moving in a direction that was satisfactory to me. I started working with Marnie and enrolled in her Clarity Quest program to help me develop and implement a career plan that met my specific needs. I was impressed by Marnie because her programs were not one-size-fits-all but rather, individualized and tailored to my specific needs. She was always understanding and patient and asked the right questions that helped me to really think about what I really wanted and needed. I truly felt that I was in 'counseling' that focused on my career. After working with Marine, I was able to identify roles that fit my personal values one of which is, work-life balance. I am now on a career path that will lead to the life that I want and the time that I need. Everyone's career goals are different and Marnie has just the individualized services to help. I highly recommend her services. read more

Without a doubt, working with Marnie has completely changed my life. The amount of professionalism and genuine passion she has for her clients is real. From the moment I reached out to her, the progress I made was eye opening, and if you believe in the power of detailed planning, proper execution, dedication to a process, and finding your self confidence, that is what I walked away with from Marnie's coaching. If you are concerned about the commitment or price of Marnie's services, it is worth every single penny. Invest in your future with Marnie in your corner and you will likely see results as I did. Here is my story: I graduated from a top university and was a high performing student athlete however my grades were quite poor overall. I found myself struggling to find work and financially was suffering making ends meet. I had no clue what I was wanting for my future. I was working 3 jobs when I reached out to Marnie, and my self confidence in my professional career path was the lowest it has ever been. What she did was listen to my background, broke down my interests, sparked a fire within me to focus on what is important, and we implemented a plan of action. Marnie uplifted me and helped me see the potential I had in my existing credentials that I thought were bringing me down. I worked with Marnie for 6 months and in that time I quit my job, I switched career fields, got hired at new job with double my previous salary, found a work environment I love, and gained admission into a Master's program of my dreams. Marnie helped me with my resume, job interviews, salary negotiation, career field exploration, job applications, and master's degree application with such detail. While she guided me, I put in the work. She always kept in mind my personal life needs and kept in mind my short and long term professional goals. Words cannot describe my happiness with Marnie's services and I plan on continuing to use her expertise as I navigate through future stages in my professional career. read more

Marnie walked me through a true crossroads in my career. After leaving my employer during the pandemic to re-evaluate, I found myself on track to returning to the job I had left.

When I first reached out to Marnie, I was confused and discouraged. Her demeanor & insights were instrumental in helping me find renewed confidence and a solid path forward. Thanks Marnie - very grateful. read more

I reached out to Marnie because I had been following a career path I wasn't passionate about. I knew I needed a change, but I was struggling with where to begin. I found Marnie on Yelp and chose to work with her because of the wonderful reviews she received - and she did not disappoint. Marnie listened to my background and my goals. She asked insightful questions that helped guide me to a better understanding of the type of work that I'm passionate about. We then worked together to create bite-sized actionable steps I could take to begin exploring and narrowing down the types of roles that might be a good fit for me. She guided me every step of the way, from informational networking to how to best position myself once I identified a team I was interested in. I put in the work, but it was Marnie's guidance that helped me land a new role that matches my skills, experience, AND my passion - and I couldn't be happier.

I started working with Marnie almost a year ago when I was at a crossroads with my career. I was lamenting the lack of time and presence I was giving to my family and contemplating what I wanted to do for the second half of my work life. Her guidance was life-changing. Marnie's approach to coaching is to provide "a consistent, reliable, safe space for self-examination that will empower you to articulate your vision, hatch your plans, confront your fears, and make things happen." That is exactly what she delivered. I will definitely be working with Marnie again in the future. She is awesome! read more

She helped me make some important assessments of my priorities and use that knowledge to inform my next steps.

I am now well on my way to having work that aligns with my priorities and feels more satisfying and manageable. I highly recommend working with Marnie! read more

I purchased a six session package with Marnie after being referred by a friend who spoke very highly of her. When we first started working together, I was employed in a field that I wasn't passionate about. I knew I wanted a change but I was feeling a bit lost. Marnie talked through the situation and my interests with me and helped me come up with an actionable game plan to find a challenging position in my desired field. After four monthly sessions, I had found a job that was a perfect fit. This job came with a whole new set of challenges, which Marnie helped me address during our final two sessions. I would definitely work with Marnie again and I highly recommend her to others. read more

I had a single session with Marnie today over the phone, since I needed some guidance regarding my career options.

She asked probing questions to help me articulate my interests and helped lead me to some very useful conclusions. If I find myself in need of further advice, I will unquestionably be giving her another call! Thanks, Marnie! read more

I was unexpectedly in between jobs, as a marketing professional who had already made a mid-career transition. I needed to reexamine my values, unique attributes, interests and direction of the next job search. A friend referred me to Marnie, and I'm very glad she did. Marnie is that rare combination of intuitive, empathetic and analytic. She listened to me very carefully. We identified my issues. We created a plan, and she kept me on that plan. Marnie is very intuitive. She picked up on little things I said and identified areas where I needed more clarity. I didn't even realize them as I was saying them, and I'm pretty introspective. I was seriously impressed. I signed up for eight sessions, which was the right amount to create a plan around life and career priorities and give me the tools to evaluate opportunities. I wouldn't have been able to do that work in just one session or four. Life needed to happen week to week so I could test out the plan. I would definitely sign up for more sessions to problem-solve specific issues (like a promotion or big presentation), but in these eight sessions, Marnie helped me answer the big questions facing me. read more

Oh boy, where to begin? Marnie is a true gem in the coaching field. She offers a mix of thoughtful listening, insightful questions, and relevant and actionable direction. I reached out to Marnie when I was in the middle of a big career transition. I had a business idea that I didn't know how to actualize. Together we got really clear on my core purpose, my step-wise plan, and my specific offering. Spoiler: I launched the business, quit my full-time job, and never looked back. In our closing session, she reminded me that I had the idea, I did the work, I'm the one that made this happen. Ok sure that's true. But she gave me the space to incubate, tools to cultivate, and encouragement and direction when I needed it. I wouldn't be where I am without Marnie. Working together was one of the best decisions of my year, and 10/10 I would do the whole thing again. If you're considering it, go for it. It's beyond worth it. read more

After the company I had worked for almost 14 years closed, I found myself in a place that was both unfamiliar and frightening to me. My particular struggles were not so much from the loss of an income, but from a loss of a professional identity and purpose. With the unexpected time off and deep soul-searching, I made the difficult decision to leave the only profession I had ever known, in hopes of discovering a completely new career direction that would provide me with the well-balanced life that I craved. But I had no clue where to start; I was completely lost. Marnie, through her Clarity Quest program, has been an invaluable mentor and guide in my journey to find professional and personal fulfillment. Her inspirational coaching style and fresh insight have helped me make a number of profound personal revelations that I would not have otherwise made without her direction and unconditional support. Little did I realize that in addition to my journey of professional discovery, Marnie would take me on a journey of deep personal discovery as well. Marnie has proved herself to be a dedicated and passionate career coach. I have been extremely satisfied with the experience, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone aspiring to rediscover professional fulfillment and satisfaction. read more

I've engaged with Marnie for two different twelve week sessions and am considering engaging with her for a third. I find her to be passionate, engaging, and insightful, and she challenges me to think differently about my goals and my career. She brings expertise and tools from the coaching space to each conversation. Through out each twelve week engagement, I've had minor epiphanies along the way that are helping me chart the course for the next challenges I decide to tackle. Theres a reason world class athletes have coaches, us mortals need them too. You can't go wrong with Marnie! read more

I met Marnie through fateful circumstances at a time in my career when I was looking for a change in both my job and industry (I was in a late-20s rut -- she helped me sort through this with a comforting and affirming approach.) We met for a total of 5 sessions and by the time we were done, I'd received two offers for positions outside of my current industry. Marnie's guidance was crucial for me to be honest with myself in figuring out what I was looking for in work/life. She offered a very helpful and nonjudgmental perspective that allowed me to work through my ambiguous aspirations out loud. It was a valuable experience, and I am very grateful for her expertise and moral support from start to finish. read more

I had worked with Marnie a little over a year ago, when she helped guide me through career negotiations with a new company that was purchasing the company I worked for. I wound up hitting all the points we prepared for in my negotiations, and getting the terms I asked for, but a few months later I learned that the new company ultimately proved to be the wrong fit for me!! I think if I hadn't worked with Marnie, who helped me gain a better insight into the values I needed and required for my career happiness, I would have floundered in that new job for a much longer time than I did. Fast forward 16 months -- I am now several months in with my own company, which I launched with my husband. We had encountered a major roadblock with one of our clients, specifically with the new management that was recently added to the team. We had scheduled a conference call with our clients and the new management team; everything was coming to a head and we had some major decisions to make -- is this the kind of client we really want to represent? My husband and I were both very emotional in discussing the issues, and I was very afraid that those emotions would spill into our meeting. That's when I realized I needed to contact Marnie! We did a super-focused, targeted session with Marnie, and drilled down to all the values we need in our clients (and ourselves). With laser-like focus, we analyzed all sides and focused on what our core principles are for business. We even did some role-playing, which helped us articulate our position more clearly. When the day came for our meeting, we owned it!! We were able to communicate clearly and with precision, and not on the offensive or with antagonism. We were so pleased to see direct results from our problem-solving session with Marnie, and finally have some resolution from the issues with the new management. read more

I had a coaching session with Marnie when I first made the decision to leave my old career. Even during a brief conversation, she took the time to ask questions about my background and values as a first step towards thinking what types of work might be well suited for me--and in doing so she gave me permission to think of my job search in terms of what would work for me. The questions she asked got me thinking about career paths I hadn't allowed myself to consider before. In the end, Marnie helped me find the courage to take a chance on a field I was passionate about instead of taking the safe way out (keeping in mind that I could always go back to the safe route if my passion didn't work out). She's incredibly easy to talk to and I'd highly recommend her to anyone considering making a career change. read more

I went to see Marnie, because I was at a point in my career where I had to make a decision on how to move forward. There were 3 options and all had professional pros and cons. During our session, she helped me work through how to take that next step. Now, 2 years later, I am happy with my decision and grateful to Marnie for her expertise, guidance and patience. I would recommend her to anyone who is "stuck" and needs clarity. Thank you, Marnie! read more

I've been working with Marnie for about a month now. She's really great! Both warm and professional, personal and able to help me take a step back and look at things from a new perspective. She strikes a great balance between steering conversations in productive directions and ensuring that I am the one driving the content of our discussions. She makes me feel hopeful and empowered while helping me set realistic goals. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to make a life change--even if you're not sure what that change needs to be. read more

I met Marnie several years ago when she managed our account for a digital media agency. Her understanding, insights and personality made a lasting impression. Marnie was kind enough to stay in touch as she pursued her Career Coaching goals. A few years later, when I was seeking help to determine my next career move and feeling exasperated with my current job, Marnie immediately came to mind as someone who had both "walked-the-walked" and had exhibited the courage to pursue a new path. From our first call, Marnie helped me see past the negative experiences that were weighing me down. Through conversation and thoughtful homework, I was able to understand the shift in my personal values that led to past career decisions as well as my current restlessness. Marnie helped me to re-frame certain beliefs that were getting in my way. Throughout our sessions, I found myself gaining more energy, more optimism and more confidence to pursue opportunities that aligned better with my personal objectives. I would highly recommend Marnie and will continue to use her as the need arises. read more

Marnie was critical in helping me figure out my path through a very challenging time. She is so easy to talk to, a great listener, a great feedback-giver, and incredibly caring and passionate. What I found most helpful was her skill in making me feel enabled and empowered. She did this by laying out the landscape in a different way than I had been looking at it, and by asking me the right questions that pinpointed some of the decision points. It helped frame the situation differently, alleviating much of my anxiety and paving a way forward. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and would not hesitate to work with her again. read more

Marnie is an amazing life coach! I worked with her for several months in 2012, after a new job failed to meet my expectations. Frustrated and feeling stuck, I reached out to her for help. Each session was very productive; she always knows the right questions to ask to get you to the answers you need. From the first call, where we talked through the "perfect day" to the follow ups after a promotion, she was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. read more

After my "Fuel Your Fire" session with Marnie - which she was flexible enough to engage in on short notice given a time-sensitive juncture I was facing - I had the clarity and confidence to proceed with decisions about how to market myself in a way that was authentic and comfortable for me. Marnie was able to ask important questions to uncover my underlying values and aspirations to make sure those are the principles that guided my next set of career decisions, to guide me toward thinking holistically rather than reactively. I started the session feeling overwhelmed and frenetic. I ended the session feeling excited, calm and sure that I could take these next steps in an authentic way. read more
