Testimonials

"Working with Marina helped me to push beyond my limits in a safe, respectful space. Her kind, thoughtful and direct communication helped me to question my fears and beliefs about myself and look deep within in order to push through and develop a new, healthier perspective. Not only did she help me become a better, stronger version of myself, she helped me (a middle aged woman looking to make a career change) navigate the best ways to connect and network successfully. She always reminded me of my strengths and continues to encourage me and check-in. I now wake up and start my day with new, positive tools and a greater outlook on life in general. Thank you Marina!"

"Coaching with Marina has been a total game changer. The accountability, the support, and her ability to get me reframing my imposter syndrome in a completely different perspective has been invaluable. She supports me in finding my own answers and helping me to reword the stories I’ve been telling myself my entire life that have obstructed me from really going for my goals. I have not only moved forward in my career and side hustles but am making lots of positive steps forward in self-confidence and self-worth."

"Marina was a coach at our January Caveday (a monthly productivity event). She coached about a dozen people in 1-on-1 sessions, helping people get unstuck – in their process, careers, and in their lives. Each one left with clarity on how to move forward. The way that Marina was able to provide value and inspiration in these brief sessions speaks to her talents and abilities as a coach. She has influenced how we prepare future coaches for Caveday and can't wait to have her back at the next one."

"Working with Marina has been such a fantastic experience! I reached out to her when I quit my full-time job to become an entrepreneur, and she has helped me create success in this new phase of my career! Through working with me to create ongoing challenges and asking the right questions, she has truly helped me get out of my own way and live up to my potential. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to make their career more exciting and fulfilling!"

"As a coach, Marina has been a helpful sounding board and thought partner on a range of topics – from career planning to inter-personal relationships, from the small (how can I stop procrastinating this task?) to the huge (what do I want out of life?). I originally approached Marina to get some career coaching, but I feel the impact of working with her more broadly than just in my work life. Marina helps me to get clearer on my goals, offers insights, challenges me to take action, and most importantly, reminds me to trust myself. She is supportive and encouraging, but doesn't shy away from asking tough questions. I would recommend Marina to anyone looking for a jumpstart!"

"Marina has a coaching style that helps you identify specific needs in your career or personal life, and walk away and begin to implement them. I have worked with coaches who want you to learn a rigid program, but Marina was very personal and customized her coaching to meet my needs. If you want to work with a professional who is considerate, a good listener, and who also provides feedback to follow your implementation steps, that are designed to reach your goals. I would recommend working with Marina."

“Working with Marina was a great experience. She helped me to be able to see opportunities in my career that I was not aware of. Her ability to listen and help me clarify my priorities and how to go after them was tremendously helpful. I also appreciated that she gave me homework assignments that were challenging because they were the right assignments for me to think through what I was frequently afraid to do but needed to in order to move forward in my career and my life's goals. I still circle back to some of the conversations we had previously and gain insight which helps me.”

- Blue, New York

"Marina is not just a great and attentive listener, but she asks the right questions at the right time –the kind of questions that helped me clarify the mess I had in my mind and realize I already have what I need to pursue my goals. Thanks to her, I'm better at framing a situation differently and finding a new and positive narrative, especially when I feel I'm not doing well or, even worse, I won't be able to do well."
