Lucinda Wells, former Executive at Avon​

I found Marie to be a truly wonderful coach and person to work with. She is clearly super smart and has operated at very senior levels in industry. But in some ways you would never know. She is so humble and never once made me feel inferior or that my challenges were trivial.
​​
-
I found her coaching style to be intuitive and caring. She picked up on things that many wouldn't and gently helped me to see what was going on and what I might be able to do to help myself deal with the challenges. I felt that I could share absolutely anything with her and never felt uncomfortable. I also always felt that Marie was there for me and even if we weren't in direct contact, this provided a great deal of comfort.

Felipe Chavez, Executive FP&A at GE Healthcare​
-
Marie was the GE Senior Audit Manager for Latin America in 2008 while I was part of her team covering the multiple GE businesses in Venezuela. Her leadership and commercial vision were a game changer for audit staff in the region. After the 2008 review, GE’s internal audit stopped being seen as the “regional police” instead it was seen as a partner in multiple commercial projects, something never done before.
As a leader Marie is able to connect to members of her team on a personal level while maintaining her unique leadership aura. Marie like no other takes mentorship very seriously and is always engaged in improving her team members professionally.
She can also be externally focused able to build and boil a message like very few people. Marie grasps vague strategic concepts and sets a clear plan to achieve them. Gifted with great communication skills she is able to breakdown the message and adapt depending on the audience.
It has been enriching professionally to work for her and later become mentored by her.

Marie has been my executive coach and mentor when I had important career transitions to make and when I was going through challenging times at work.
​​
-
Her positive approach enabled me to look beyond my challenges and transform them into great opportunities. For instance, I was stagnating at my previous company and she partnered with me to build a career plan, to network effectively and to identify the right next step for me at L’Oréal.
​​
-
On top of successful career moves, she helped me build the daily structures to shine and move confidently towards my goals. I understood that for me, physical well-being was essential to my professional development. Through her eye-opening questions, I discovered many things such as : I wanted to exercise at least twice a week, have healthier meals and invest more time connecting with people at work.

Thanks to Marie, l feel I have made sustainable changes which will be useful for the rest of my life and I am happy to face problems without any delay “expect problems and eat them for breakfast”. You would be lucky to have her as your coach.
Former MD at Viacom and current CEO of a digital business

I think i am probably hard to coach as i have done a lot of development work myself over the years and like to think I am self aware. And most tool or techniques I will have tried before.
