“Marian is incredibly gifted at helping people unlock potential, with the mind of a CEO and the nature of a yogi.“
- R. Marstellar
The new MLA-Mastery of Leadership Arts journey with Marian helps growth-oriented business leaders break free of insidious, inherited programming and catalyze game-changing ways to flourish forward; from revealing your inner root obstacles to optimizing outer results you care about most.
Does this sound like you?
You’d love to FEEL better and LEAD better. Parts of you feel scared, hopeful, daunted & determined. “Unleash potential” has become a corny platitude, but that is what your heart aches for.
You’re grateful for the success you have, but, there’s an inner hunger—something calling you
or bugging you—to experience more authenticity and aliveness, sharing your gifts.
You want to make a difference, make enough money, work & play well with good people, and possibly be part of creating a future you would love to pay forward.
You care about bringing out the greater good in yourself and others. There are wins, yet embedded “seeker-achiever success” patterns and well-intended performance coaching or leadership advice ends up recycling feeling depleted or disheartened.
You sense the game isn’t really working anymore, but you don’t quite know how to change the familiar, encouraged, daily seeker-achiever norm, so you keep trying to do your best to
take care of what’s in front of you, and “not let them down.”
But deep down you know there’s got to be a better way.
How are YOU really feeling? READ MORE…
My job is to help you break free of your normal programming (now limiting, sabotaging) untangle inherited trappings of success, and equip you to activate your essence potential & true prosperity. Not try to climb old paradigm ladders or chase new age bliss, but the pragmatic & profound Journey Of You- your greater JOY, impact and abundance!
Recent client examples include…
Exceeding fundraising goals. Feeling more fulfilled & effective, fueled from a deeper well.
Leading a town hall meeting by letting go of trying harder, to show up igniting their hearts & minds in their most challenging times.
Transforming a “weak link” problem employee into “now the person I rely on the most to keep our team together, and has become a friend.”
“Never in my wildest dreams… I spoke up, taking a stand…for the first time in 8 years.”
Are you willing to explore “What do I want? and Why am I here?” like never before?
What if your most important job
is not what you think it is?
What if we rethink leadership and let
your Real Self come out to play?
“Move. But don’t move the way fear makes you move.” - Rumi
“Move. But don’t move the way fear makes you move.” - Rumi
YOU are not meant to keep ‘trying’
in a dying paradigm.
Well-intended advice, applause and your own adaptive efforts will encourage you to “try” smarter and better.
But, here’s the liberating truth:
Your real freedom breaks open when you realize most of that is trying to help you solve the wrong problem.
It’s not your fault. It’s the default programming sucking you in (operating inside of you and in our culture).
Good news: We discovered a radically different recipe.
"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
~ Joseph Campbell
You deserve better and the world deserves the better you.
The way you’ve been conditioned
to be happy in life & succeed in work
is not working.
There is a new way forward.
You have a life-altering chance to radically shift * what’s running your life, from the inside out.
And revolutionize how you create true success.
*Deeper than mindset, inner game, performace improvement,
lifestyle balance, purpose-driven, or spiritual bypass b.s.
“I’m a totally different person. Before MLA, I had been a smart, high achiever, but something wasn’t working. In spite of working long hours and trying to do a great job, I felt blocked and a bit bewildered as to why I wasn’t succeeding the way I was used to. Marian’s energy and MLA approach opened up questions I didn’t expect to question. Like an awakening. Now, I feel empowered to step outside of old norms and lead in a way that feels in line with my deep personal values and greater potential. My boss and direct reports feel and applaud this difference and I’m excited to keep growing and evolving.
- Laura Wensley, VP
You have an imperative choice
Keep “trying to be
a good girl or boy”
Or
Understandbly so, driven by the human
condition default & cultural pressures.
Yet end up with temporary “wins,” then recycle feeling disheartened or depleted?
Be willing to wake up to your greatest JOY
Unusually free, moved from infinitely-sourced, authentic inspiration, for the new 3.0 Journey Of You.
Feeling delighted & determined to flourish forward.
May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back.
Rainer Maria Rilke

With this new MLA, Marian has become a beacon of creative wonder for your untapped potential. She lifts the blinds from layers of coping to illuminate the dream that we once hid away, that is calling to be freed.
My “before” life was characterized by being helpful and caring for others, while giving up on my desires
and dreams to fit into what society wanted. I found success, but rarely fulfillment, in work and personal relationships. Buried underneath all that, I never felt certain that I was good enough.
- Sas Stark
Now, I’m able to embody my values, believe in myself, shine in my unique way and go for new dreams with no excuses.

We’re so glad you’re here.
We’ve been waiting for you. Come this way…
I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.
My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.
I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.
O’ Sacred One
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.
Free my soul.
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.
--Hafiz
I look forward to a new conversation with you soon.
