“Marsha presented to our entire senior leadership team – not an easy task, especially virtually – and the end result was a motivating and practical talk that featured easy-to-adopt actions that our executives could implement immediately to engage and motivate our workforce. Storytelling leads to empathy, empathy leads to connections, and Marsha helped make this real and tangible for us.” 
Jackie Roberts, VP Talent, Loblaw Companies Limited, Toronto, ON
“Presenting to 500 people in the room and many more watching remotely online, Marsha’s training was captivating, entertaining and — most importantly — full of advice that participants were able to put into practice during the workshop itself. She was able to get even shy members of our audience to engage in the exercises — and actually enjoy it! The feedback from the event has been very positive. I would highly recommend Marsha’s workshops.” 
Tanya Hanrahan, Director Transformation, Technology Infrastructure at RBC,
Toronto, ON
“Marsha hosted an incredibly practical and energetic session that held the attention of the online audience throughout. It was interactive, engaging, insightful, and incredibly fun event! The feedback from participants has been phenomenal, with people saying things like, ‘Hands down the most engaging workshop I’ve participated in‘, ‘even for someone who tells stories as a career, I learned a lot! Favourite session of all time‘ and ‘simply blown away. Beyond expectations‘.”

“If you have a chance to work with her – take it!”
“Marsha has a savant-like sense for story. But, she doesn’t stop there. She’s spent years not only telling her own stories to thundering applause on the stage and airwaves, but also helping to develop powerful stories for individuals and organizations. Along the way, she’s developed a proven-process to help anyone craft stories in a way that’s fun, entertaining, and leaves them with a clear, emotional narrative designed to make an impact. If you have a chance to work with her privately or attend a workshop, take it!”
Jonathan Fields, Founder of Good Life Project®, www.goodlifeproject.com
“Marsha pulled a talk right out of me in 2 hours. Wow”
“I’m always looking for that “signature story” that’s not so business-y entrepreneur-y niche-y. Marsha pulled one right out of me, getting me to talk about what I most love to talk about, while shaping it into an actual structured talk…in 2 hours.
That includes the opening story, the arc, the quick tips for the audience, even the rally cry at the end. Wow.
And it was so much fun. Please don’t book Marsha, she’s already booked up and I want her to myself.”
Laura Belgray, Founder, TalkingShrimp.com & Co-Creator of The Copy Cure, New York, NY
“Marsha understands the power of story and how to use it grab the attention of an audience.”
“Marsha Shandur is one of my favorite communicators in the world. Her skills as a storytelling teacher and coach are unparalleled, making anyone she works with instantly confident and comfortable.
As Tribe Conference’s official ‘Awkwardness Controller,’ she helps our community tell their stories by leading through her own example. Marsha understands the power of story and how to use it to grab the attention of an audience. Every time I hear her speak, I am captivated.“

“Marsha zapped stress and uncertainty out of my content creation process.”
“Marsha’s soul-level process helps to cut through the noise and go deep to get to the juiciest language. Marsha zapped stress and uncertainty out of my content creation process. It feels amazing to work from a foundation of powerful phrases I can use in my copy.
If you’re an entrepreneur who wants to make a profitable revenue from creating an impact by working with your ideal clients and want to do it in a way that feels authentic and joyful, you need Marsha!”

“Her work is invaluable. Grab a session with her while you can! Thank me later.”
“If you want to make meaningful, purposeful connections with people you admire, without feeling like a total nerd/desperate stalker, you. need. Marsha. Recently I had the pleasure of working with her, and all I can say is…WOW. She has truly mastered the art of figuring out what makes people tick – in the most sincere, service-oriented way possible. Something magical happens when you take a genuine interest in people and consciously add value to them in simple, yet meaningful ways. Marsha doesn’t just GET that, she knows how to teach it. Her work is invaluable. Grab a session with her while you can! Thank me later.”

“I received the highest ratings I’ve ever gotten on a keynote I have given for years.”
“Fun and uplifting, my sessions with Marsha got results. After a few simple, but extremely important tweaks, I received the highest ratings I’ve ever gotten on a keynote I have given for years. One woman from the national organization told me, ‘I’ve worked doing this 40 years and have seen thousands, I think that’s the best I’ve ever seen.’ And several people in the feedback forms told me that they cried.
Then, in just 15 minutes, she fixed another speech that I have struggled with and could never put my finger on what was wrong. I feel like I have gotten two speeches that are measurably better, but also the tools to create stronger talks in the future. Plus I have a cheerleader that I look forward to talking to instead of dreading!”
Denise Boudreau-Scott, President, Drive, Manasquan, New Jersey
“Thanks to our session, I’ve worked with some amazing new clients.”
“Before working with Marsha on my sales page, I felt ok with it, but it didn’t get nearly as much attention as my “after-Marsha” version. It was amazing to have Marsha ask me guiding questions that helped me dig deeper.
I became very clear about what I’m offering and now people can easily decide if it’s right for them. Thanks to our session, I now have a sales page that I’m more confident in sharing AND it’s helped me work with some amazing new clients.
Marsha will make you believe that you can do anything. The generous wisdom she shares will stay with you long after your session ends.“

“Marsha cut distracting details in my TEDx talk, to keep my audience on the edge of their seat!”
“I came to Marsha with the script for my TEDx talk. I was stressed out and too scared to move on to the memorization stage because I wasn’t sure what I had written was as good as it could be. Marsha’s storytelling genius helped me make it so much better!
She tweaked the chronology and cut distracting details to keep my audience on the edge of their seats. She inserted dramatic pauses, and helped me master the ebb and flow of my tone of voice to immerse my audience in my story. It worked, and I rocked it! I wouldn’t approach a presentation of this magnitude without her.”
Sarah Ramsden, Personal Coach, Parksville, BC, sarahramsden.com
“Marsha helped me gather my ideas into a powerful, poignant message that connected with the my audience at their core”
“Marsha is a Speaker Whisperer. She provided a judgment-free zone where I could vomit out all of my ideas and be vulnerable so I could get to the core of who I am. She then helped me coalesce all that into a powerful, poignant message that connected with the people in my audience at their core — all in my own, authentic voice. She is generous with her time, feedback, and overall, is one of the best cheerleaders to have in your corner. Thanks to her, I now have powerful talk that impacts people on multiple levels.”

“Marsha totally over-delivered”
“Marsha totally over-delivered. My story is unique and interesting, but Marsha has helped me make it gripping, heartwarming and best of all: more enticing for women to want to work with me.
The new version also leaves people with something even if they never work with me. In other words, it ticks all the boxes of what a good story should be in our entrepreneurial world. Marsha is truly gifted at story coaching.”
Lorna Gager, Wellness Coach and Inspirationalist, lornagager.com
“You’d be foolish to try this on your own, when Marsha’s gift is helping you do it stress-free.”
“Truth be told, I’m a shy, introverted, scaredy cat who dreads pitching myself for an interview or guest post… but I know how important it is to the success of my business! That’s why I love Marsha Shandur. She knows the tools, strategies, tricks, and approaches to do this with ease and authenticity. Whenever she helps me, I feel more confident, clear, and excited… and I actually follow through! You’d be foolish to try this on your own, when Marsha’s gift is helping you do it stress-free.”

“Marsha Shandur shapes muddled thoughts into story”
“Marsha Shandur shapes muddled thoughts into story. In a dynamic session full of deep queries and rapid re-wordings, Marsha could convert my convoluted ideas into a concise and comprehensible statement of what I do that would land with my targeted audience’s needs. Her generous heart and brilliant wit make her an utter delight to work with.”
Jeffrey Davis, CEO & Founder of Tracking Wonder, Accord, NY
“Marsha can show you how to write sales copy without taking advantage of people”
“With a sales page that wasn’t converting as well as I’d hoped, my biggest challenge was selling in a way that allows my audience to experience autonomy of choice. Many of the sales tactics I’ve learned in business are rooted in shame and a false sense of urgency, but I need to be able to sell products and services in a trauma-informed manner.
Working with Marsha was light and fun, yet informative and supportive. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, but is able to present it in a relatable way. It feels like getting feedback and support from a friend— someone on a level playing field.
Marsha can show you how to write sales copy without taking advantage of people or preying on their insecurities. She helps you sell with integrity. Writing copy now feels much easier.”

“I LOVE my story now and no longer hold back sharing it with people.”
“Before working with Marsha, I had no idea how to tell my (business) story so that potential clients can decide that they want to work with me. Through our coaching sessions, experiences that I had rejected previously for business purposes made sense and made my story more unique and interesting. I feel now that my story is not only really engaging and interesting but also captivating and nails my WHY. I LOVE my story now and no longer hold back sharing it with people.”
Susanne Schwameis, Career & Leadership Coach, Vienna, Austria
“In a week I’ve already written 3 new pieces of content quickly and easily – and am actually looking forward to doing more.”
“With sensitivity, humour and insight, Marsha helped me to dust off my tired old story so that it became shiny and new. Now, I have this great story to share in so many ways: as a talk, in a blog post, on my website or on social media.
I used to procrastinate about writing, but since working with Marsha, in a week I’ve already written 3 new pieces of content – very quickly and easily – and am actually looking forward to doing more. I feel inspired and re-energized.
I abso-tively (absolutely, positively without hesitation) recommend Marsha to anyone who wants to connect in an honest way with other people.
Anne Gage, Riding Coach/Horse Trainer, Mono, Ontario
“I now can answer questions about why I do what I do in a way that is not only interesting, but also feels very authentic to me.”
“There are many reasons why I do what I do for a living but, before I met with Marsha, I didn’t really have a clear and concise way of communicating those parts of myself to people. When I tried to, it always felt forced and unnatural. After a few sessions with Marsha, I now can answer questions about why I do what I do in a way that is not only interesting, but also in a way that feels very authentic to me. I don’t feel like I am selling myself. I feel like I am just telling part of my story.”
Kayti Doolittle, Copywriter, Kansas City, MI
“I am now confident about which of my many stories to pull from when talking with an audience in order to be most convincing.”
“Before working with Marsha, I knew I had a strong story about why I am in the admissions and career consulting business, but I did not have an objective opinion about which parts would be most interesting to a cold audience or storytelling tools to convey it. I am now confident about which of my many stories to pull from when talking with an audience in order to be most convincing. I would definitely recommend Marsha to other business owners who want to figure out their ‘business story.’”

“Marsha shows you that YOU CAN”
“Marsha short-circuits the endless loop of ‘I want to, but I can’t because…’ and by asking exactly the right questions and offering exactly the right suggestions she shows you that, in fact, YOU CAN.”
Sage Tyrtle, Storyteller, Toronto, Ontario
“I didn’t even know I had a story, let alone know how to tell it.”
“Before I met Marsha, I didn’t even know I had a story, let alone know how to tell it. I had random thoughts about things that had transpired in my journey, but I didn’t have a firm grasp on how it all connected in a way that came full circle. Marsha helped me connect all the dots! Not only did Marsha help give me the confidence I needed to see the full value of what I have to offer, but she also gave me the ability to talk about it in a way that makes me feel comfortable. Now, people always read my sales emails and want to meet with me!
Lynn Burger, Health & Wellness Coach, Residual Income Coach, Eugene, Oregon
“Marsha was able to hold the big picture and create a coherent, dramatic, and interesting map of my point a to b.”
“Before working with Marsha, I knew I had a story I wanted to tell but wasn’t sure how it connected to the work that I do. I wanted that link. I wanted to understand how I got from there to here. Marsha was able to hold the big picture of all these bits and pieces and create a coherent, dramatic, and interesting map of my point a to b. I would recommend Marsha to anyone who has a story they are dying to tell!”
Michelle Rothstein, Executive Coach, WorkModern
“Marsha is a true master of her craft”
“Before working with Marsha, turning one of my biggest life experiences into a ten minute story seemed impossible. And yet, after working with Marsha, I had the confidence and framework to make it happen. Marsha helped me hone in on the important elements of my story and shape it into a compelling narrative. She is a true master of her craft. Working with Marsha is like working with some kind of incredible storytelling wizard!”

“I had to tell my story in 90 seconds to 2500 people. The results were amazing!”
“When faced with the daunting task of telling an important piece of my signature keynote in just 90 seconds to 2500 people at WDS, I knew I was in trouble; that is, until I worked with Marsha. Not only did she show me how to achieve this unachievable feat, she also helped me craft an opening line that grabbed the audience and never let them go! The results were amazing! I can’t say enough about what a joy it was to work with Marsha, and hope to do so again in the near future on some other projects! Thanks, Marsha!
David Knapp-Fisher, World Traveller, Storyteller & Facilitator to Amazing People
“Marsha’s workshop was funny and warm, not patronising.”
“Marsha tailored our workshop to suit our business and provided us with our own resource page afterwards. There was a real mix of people in our session from interns to Heads of Department and everyone took something from it.
I would recommend Marsha’s workshops to anyone who wants their staff to start talking to colleagues in the industry and outside it.”

“After one session with Marsha, I knew I had found my holy grail”
“Working with Marsha has opened up a lot for me. This year I’ve been on a feverish hunt for what makes me unique and why my ideal client should hire me. And after one session with Marsha, I knew I had found my holy grail and it was inside of me the whole time.
She has a way of getting you out of your head and into your clients head without having to spend hours guessing at what they need. And now! I’m confident that my offering IS the solution they need and I don’t feel the urge to underprice what I do just to make the sale.
The biggest surprise, I’ve always wanted to write a book but had no idea what I had to offer. And after one session with Marsha, it’s taking shape in ways I couldn’t have imagined.”
EJ Ongenyi, Healthy Lifestyle Coach, New Orleans, LA
“Working with Marsha was a game changer”
“Working with Marsha Shandur from Yes Yes Marsha was a game changer for my WDS Story. I knew I could use some help, but thought my story just needed some tightening. After working with her for just one laughter-filled hour, she made it SO MUCH BETTER than I could have imagined. It became more powerful, more succinct, easier to deliver and I’m sure it was easier for the audience to understand and receive, too. I know it was because of Marsha’s help and insight that so many people came up to me afterward to say how my story resonated with them. If you have the opportunity to work with Marsha, take it!”
Ellen Watkins, Writer, Creator & Facilitator, Texas, ellenjennywatkins.com
“Marsha’s story-telling tips gave me a unique insight into how to make a human connection with my audience by painting a story rather than just telling it.”
“Marsha Shandur is the original Story Whisperer. I have often been told that I am a good storyteller but Marsha coached me to be an even better one. Thanks to her experience and uncanny story whisperer abilities, Marsha was able to help me visualize my story from the audience’s perspective. People are emotional, visual and Marsha’s story-telling tips gave me a unique insight into how to make a human connection with my audience by painting a story rather than just telling it. If you don’t believe me, then work with Marsha and picture the results.”

“I loved how present and detailed Marsha is and her unique ability to pick up on the really good stuff.”
“I loved how present and detailed Marsha is and her unique ability to pick up on the really good stuff… which I didn’t even think was good. Apparently, I was very clear on my ICA pain points, and it didn’t sound general at all – YAY! This was something that I would cringe when asked ‘what problem do I solve’ questions. And after just what seems like a casual talk with Marsha, she managed to get these super clear out of me.”
Evelina Hovich, Health & Wellness Coach, Toronto, ON
“Now I feel great about sharing my story”
“Before working with Marsha, I wasn’t sure how to talk about my story in a compelling way. Now, I have a story to share! And it’s totally, authentically me, so I feel great about sharing it. Marsha is brilliant, funny, and passionate about what she does – and that flows into every conversation and email. I would definitely recommend working with Marsha. She beautifully reveals the stories within each of us.”
Sophia Apostol, Life Coach, Toronto
“Marsha helped me out of the weeds, weave a story that was compelling for our target market, and wordsmith a few variations based on audience and type of conversation.”
“I recently contracted Marsha Shandur for assistance in packaging one of our complex digital product offerings for an upcoming conference I was speaking at. Through a series of questions, Marsha helped me out of the weeds, weave a story that was compelling for our target market, and wordsmith a few variations based on audience and type of conversation.
I definitely used the new way of talking at the conference, and with our customers and found it simplified the conversations and made it easier for people to understand. Months later, we are still using the language developed by Marsha to tell our story. I will definitely work with Marsha again. “
Laurie Paleczny, President, Dash Digital Group, www.dashdigitalgroup.com
“Game-changing. I got a response from my hero within TWO HOURS!”
“In just one session, Marsha helped me craft a beautifully powerful email to one of my heroes (read: big shot!). Not only did I get a (VERY) positive response… but my response came within TWO HOURS. No joke.
I got everything I’d asked for and more – the hero has even since written to say, ‘Please call on me ANYtime.’ Connecting and collaborating with this person was previously one of those big picture-type goals that I thought would take MUCH longer to achieve. I loved that Marsha was SO prepared – she had researched the person I wanted to email and had really interesting ideas about how to approach her, what she’d be interested in, and how to get her attention. And it worked!
Marsha’s got proven experience and is brimming with ideas. The best part is that she taught me all kinds of tricks that I’ve already started using in other attention-grabbing emails. The cherry on top is that she’s super fun and a blast to work with.“
Katie Braja, CEO & Founder, Jojobas Witness, Norwalk, CT
“In terms of advancing my business,
this was the best money I ever spent”
As well as an easy manner and good humor, Marsha has an understanding of the struggle we introverts have with reaching out, and excellent explanations for managing it.
Since working with Marsha, I am no longer the least bit hesitant about writing to anyone to ask for something, or even walking right up to anyone, introducing myself, and accomplishing what I set out for, whether it’s a friendship, a recommendation, a review, or even a job.
I‘ve secured several book reviews and blog interviews from overextended book bloggers for my authors, have sponsored a book launch party at a writer’s conference, taught a workshop and secured a job for myself that required a networking expert!
I would recommend working with Marsha without question, in a heartbeat. In terms of advancing my business, this was the best money I ever spent.

“I have been able to move my career into a new and bigger phase. I didn’t realize I could make that happen so quickly”
Marsha is the person everyone wants to talk to in a room – a blast to speak to. It was super easy to get to the heart of my problems and she had concrete steps to take to resolve the blocks – right down to giving me scripts to use.
Before I worked with Marsha, I was completely perplexed about how to go about networking. She has given me the map to navigating this nerve-wracking terrain. But even more so she helped push me into an entirely new zone. With her guidance and support I have been able to move forward in my career into the start of a new and bigger phase. I didn’t realize I could make that happen so quickly.
Networking can be the missing piece of the puzzle in pushing your career or business forward. Marsha has the formula for making this doable and she supports you with accountability and cheerleading to get you to fly on your own.
If you need to ask anyone for anything then you need to work with Marsha. Especially if you are shy or hate selling yourself.
We all need good people behind us – Marsha is a great one to have on your team and with her support you will grow your network to boost your career or business.

“Working with Marsha has given me and my career a real boost and I wish I’d done it before”
Before working with Marsha, I had become quite anxious about finding work, to the point of it making me ill. I am limited to contacting people by email rather than phone or in person and I thought this would hold me back.
Marsha’s session gave me a new perspective and made me feel much calmer, more in control and much more positive about the future. I usually feel really uncomfortable about this sort of thing but I actually had fun!
Working with Marsha has given me and my career a real boost and I wish I’d done it before. Marsha gave me loads of advice and tools that I wouldn’t have got from any course or self help book. Her advice was specific and tailored to me. I’m so much more confident about pitching for and chasing work. I am much more tenacious about chasing work, too!
If you’re about to change career or go freelance, speak to Marsha before you do anything. I seriously regret the time I spent ballsing up this stuff before she set me on the right track. Marsha will change your life and make you feel just lovely.

Marsha is lovely.
She is professional – she is worth it!
Before, networking had always felt phony to me. The advice I got meant I felt a lot of “shoulds”. Having worked with Marsha, I now have clear things I know I can do when I meet people – or attend large events. I know what to do that I will be comfortable with – and I have a positive mindset.
Marsha draws on her own experience and tells you what worked for her. I love that she shares her own struggles – she is honest and she is real.
We all need to network, and she genuinely makes it a comfortable and doable activity – without the ick factor. Marsha is lovely – she is professional – she is worth it!
If you want to feel confident about networking and leave the people you meet with the feeling that you are fabulous, then invest in yourself and book a session with Marsha.

“After my session with Marsha, I felt fearless and determined to take on the tasks I’d been agonizing over for months”
I’ve always cringed at the term “networking,” believing it to be an insincere and opportunistic business construct, not suited to people like me. Yet I knew that shunning networking opportunities was detrimental to my work, confidence, and desire to meet new people.
It only took 20 minutes with Marsha to turn my idea of networking on its head. She has a way of taking the fear out of seemingly scary or uncomfortable situations.
I genuinely feel that Marsha is rooting for me, giving me personalized and caring guidance on how to overcome career confusion, networking-fear, and self-doubt, and following up with helpful task lists, a summary of our Skype sessions, and words of encouragement.
She has a selfless spirit, a huge heart, and genuine enthusiasm for helping people emerge from their shell and get back out into the world. After my session with Marsha, I felt fearless and determined to take on the tasks I’d be agonizing over for months. She leaves her clients VERY well equipped!
She has a knack for putting people at ease and making them feel safe and secure to express their inner-most struggles/ self-doubt, knowing they will never be judged.

“It all worked so well for me that it seemed slightly like magic.
It’s not, it’s just her expertise made easy”
Want to know why you should work with Marsha in a single word? Results.
It’s now only 3 days since the industry conference Marsha coached me for and by following her simple, memorable advice I’ve just successfully booked in meetings with both of the organisers: a pair of influential guys who everyone was queuing up to chat to at the end of the day.
Not me though. I’d said a quick hello to them earlier but didn’t join the line of hopefuls. I headed home to follow Marsha’s advice and write them each a short but persuasive personalised email. And that’s how I jumped the queue without ever joining it.
Marsha lives what she teaches. Every job she’s got in media has been the result of non-schmooze networking (or as she calls it, MIF-ing: ‘Making Interesting Friends’). Her advice is the distillation of years of experience and covered everything I needed to know, from how to make a first approach to new contacts, to why thoughtfulness in the lunch line can pay dividends.
It all worked so well for me that it seemed slightly like magic, but it’s not, it’s just her expertise made easy. Marsha is a super-friendly woman with the kind of personality that means chatting with her leaves you feeling energised and ready to go.
Don’t hesitate to work with her. Do yourself a favour: give her a call and start improving your career.

“The best part was finding out that I don’t
have to rely on instinct.
I can be very practical and strategic about networking”
When it came to networking, I wanted to come across as assertive and charming, but was worried about looking desperate or like a nag. Thankfully, I loved my session with Marsha!
Her approach is kind, humorous, and engaging. She listened to my anxieties and created an approach unique to my needs – but somehow it all felt like I was just having a cup of tea with an old friend!
The best part for me was finding out how much of a science it is, and how I don’t have to rely on instinct or anything that seems “metaphysical,” but that I can be very practical and strategic about networking. I have used the email techniques she taught me, over and over again.
She doesn’t have a one size fits all plan; instead, she developed a unique strategy just for me. And her wicked sense of humor certainly didn’t hurt when putting me at ease!

“When Marsha initially suggested I approach some of my mentors for book endorsements I was leery…but in just two weeks I got endorsements from three of my hero authors!”
When Marsha initially suggested I approach some of my mentors for book endorsements I was leery….I couldn’t ask them – they were up on a pedestal for me! With her enthusiasm, support, ‘tip’ sheet and one-on-one chat she helped me understand the best way to contact them – and get a response.
Because I engaged with them on the level she had suggested, they were more than happy to endorse my first book and even give me the most jaw-dropping positive feedback. Wow – my mentors are actually human beings just like me!
With Marsha’s help, in just two weeks I got endorsements from three of my hero authors!

“Marsha made me feel like making
connections with people is really easy”
I’m a naturally shy person, but my session with Marsha made me feel like making connections with people is really easy. She makes networking seem so much more doable – less about selling and more about relationship building.
Right after our session, I went to an event. I had a lot of great conversations there, and left feeling happy!
I would recommend working with Marsha to anyone who feels nervous about networking, anyone who is naturally an introvert, anyone who has trouble with small talk, anyone who is socially anxious.

“Her relaxed yet confident vibe made me completely
comfortable to discuss any fears or concerns I had”
I’m always hesitant to approach strangers because I don’t want to feel like I’m bothering them. Marsha provided me with assurance that if I were to go about approaching someone the right way, it would never come off as a bother. She relayed helpful tips about the best way to talk to someone.
Marsha never made it seem like she was more knowledgeable or experienced, but rather made me feel like I had all these ideas, I just needed help surfacing them. This is what made me enjoy Marsha’s company right off the bat – her relaxed yet confident vibe made me completely comfortable to discuss any fears or concerns I had when it came networking. And her calm, cool and collectiveness actually rubbed off on me too.
I’d absolutely recommend Marsha’s services to others because she not only helps, but she makes you feel like you’re just chatting with a friend who is experienced in a certain field. She was never preachy but rather chummy.

“Marsha doesn’t presume that networking comes naturally
to everyone. Instead, she demonstrates how easy it can be”
Having Marsha alongside you is like having Courage Itself by your side!
Never have I felt more confident to meet and chat with people outside of my usual social sphere than I did when working with Marsha. She turns potentially awkward business-style meetings into the opportunity to make new friends, and ‘friends’ rather than ‘contacts’ is very much at the heart of what she is about.
Before working with Marsha my hesitations about networking were that I didn’t have enough in common with the other person, but she showed me that you only need one question and a good smile to start conversation that can lead to opportunity!
Marsha doesn’t presume that networking comes easily and naturally to everyone. Instead, she explains it’s benefits and demonstrates how easy it can be. She completely takes the scariness out of it and makes everyone in the room a potential friend, no matter how big or small their profile.
If you’re looking for help in making networking as easy and enjoyable as being at a dinner party, then say Yes Yes to Marsha!

“The tips Marsha has passed on have pushed me further in my career. The skills get used on a daily basis!”
Marsha brought fresh skills to the table. The tips Marsha has passed on have pushed me further in my career.
Everything came with an explanation and a reason that could be applied across different industries / situations and some of the skills get used on a daily basis!
I’d actively encourage people to talk to Marsha, especially if you are embarking on a career in a new industry or a potentially challenging project. Those early meetings with people can come thick and fast, so being armed with the right approach and skills can make the world of difference.
She’ll be honest and tell you what you need to hear.

“The best thing about Marsha is her sheer enthusiasm
and clear passion for helping others”
Working with Marsha, there was never a moment merely spent watching on, being a wallflower. She throws you into doing actual work with deadlines. Whilst this initially feels pretty scary, Marsha instils enough confidence for you to get the job done.
The best thing about Marsha is her sheer enthusiasm and clear passion for helping others. She will always encourage you to ask questions and ensure that you leave a session having learnt something useful.
Marsha taught me valuable skills and gave me the confidence to network with complete strangers. In my broadcasting work this has been invaluable.
Working with Marsha has already benefited my career greatly and will continue to do so going forward.
She is very experienced and knows exactly what she is doing, she has succeeded in an industry where networking and persistence is key.

“There’s no need to be the person working hard in the background doing a great job and not getting noticed”
Working with Marsha was an absolute pleasure. She not only gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself but actively encourages it. She always has your best interests at heart, rooting for you and hoping you get the most out of the experience that you can.
I would recommend Marsha to everyone who wants to achieve something they’re not managing at the moment. There’s no need to be the person working hard in the background doing a great job and not getting noticed. You can put yourself out there and get the recognition you deserve – and she is the person to help you do that!
Marsha gave me the best advice that I’ve ever received, that I still tell countless people to this day!

“Marsha gave me really great, practical advice”
Marsha gave me really great, practical advice.
She has tons of enthusiasm for helping, and empathy for my situation.
I found her positivity and energy had a big impact on my outlook in getting into the work I wanted to do.
Marsha tells it how it is! And will be quite direct sometimes. It’s good to be challenged like this.

“She told me exactly what to say to exactly the right people at the right time to advance my career as quickly as possible”
Marsha’s advice was invaluable. She told me exactly what to say to exactly the right people at exactly the right time to advance my career as quickly as possible.
She now has what can only be described as a ‘fan club’ in the UK made up of people who she has all helped enormously in a similar way at one time of another.
One bit of advice in particular stuck with me – she told me that every time you meet someone to make sure you follow it up with an email so if you ever need to speak to them in the future, you can carry on the conversation where you left it.
I’ve passed this on to numerous people myself. I am eternally grateful to Marsha for helping me get exactly where I wanted to be.

“How Marsha turned the hours of memories into a captivating and concise story line is beyond me. It felt like magic.”
“Although I have a lot of stories and I love to tell them, I’ve always struggled with how to bring them together cohesively to share my personal narrative behind my business. How Marsha turned the hours of memories into a captivating and concise story line is beyond me. It felt like magic. But the best part was, when I heard it, I had the feeling of the story having been there all along.”
