Personal Coaching - Success Stories

"I have gone from a Project Director to an
Executive Level Vice President of a 160M
dollar business unit with a short stop as the
head of a major department..."

"Marie Forleo is an incredible executive coach that I have worked with for the past five years. The successes we have achieved together through the years is impressive. I work for a subsidiary of the Fortune 500 company EMCOR and Marie has helped me enormously in my career. By the measure of position and responsibilities alone, these successes speak for themselves. I have gone from a Project Director to an Executive Level Vice President of a 160M dollar business unit with a short stop as the head of a major department. I'm now the President of a fast growing company. I owe much of my success to the focus I have achieved working with Marie. Even more than a coach I have come to rely on Marie for consul in all areas of my life. Her intellect, insight and intuition are incomparable. She has taught me many strategies to remain present, aware and focused both personally and professionally, while keeping my humility and honor in tact. I don't know what the future will bring but I know anything is possible with the support of a person like Marie Forleo."

"I found Marie's approach to be so inspiring and effective, that four years later I still refer to her saved emails."

"I hired Marie during a time of personal transition, having just traveled the world for several months. I returned to the US in the middle of a recession and was stuck determining next steps professionally. I was having a very difficult time uncovering opportunities, was confused and really down on myself. Marie literally changed my life at that time and her influence continues. I found Marie's approach to be so inspiring and effective, that four years later I still refer to her saved emails. Marie was kind, down to earth, sympathetic and inspiring. She showed me that the problem was not "finding a job" in a horrible job market. Rather, she helped me to uncover concrete areas for personal improvement. I landed a job within weeks. More importantly, she helped me to develop tools that went beyond just solving this one problem. This toolkit is something I have taken with me since and has enabled me to move on to bigger and better things with confidence. I have been able to create my own opportunities, much bigger things than I ever dreamed of when I was simply job hunting. Marie's approach inspires you to make your life great and have fun doing it. Her combination of big dreams combined with practicality is a real recipe for success! Better yet, you discover that you can actually enjoy the process!"

"Marie coached me through the resistance to develop my Creativity Yoga® program which has since been offered in colleges, high schools, yoga centers and corporations."

"Marie goes so far beyond the traditional definition of a "coach." She is a wise, warm, caring, motivating, ENTHUSIASTIC, nurturing, inspiring, persuasive, forthright, honest, endearing human being! She helped me gain the confidence necessary to leap over so many fearful hurdles — the most crucial of which was convincing me to write my own book, which is now 90% complete (and contains several references to Marie). She helped me to see things clearly during a very difficult crossroads of my life and helped empower me to make difficult choices and GET TO WORK. To move through the fear and past the procrastination and make the calls, write the letters, delegate the tasks and get the job done! All with the perfect balance of provocation and love. It was Marie who coached me through the resistance to develop my Creativity Yoga® program which has since been offered in colleges, high schools, yoga centers and corporations. She taught me to focus on what matters and let go of the rest — a skill that has made all the difference in the world to my success. I can’t say enough about her skills. She is a treasure!"

"I had so much going on in my personal life that it was impacting my ability to focus on running my multi-million dollar company."

"Marie has had amazing impact on my life, both personally and professionally. I had so much going on in my personal life that it was impacting my ability to focus on running my multi-million dollar company. Her ability to make me see the real issues, and to see the "drama" that I unknowingly created has allowed me to take a deep breath and make me realize that I am in control. The day she spent with me and my staff also made a huge impact on my company. She facilitated a better way for us to communicate, and as if by "magic" we gained a contract with Vera Wang days after she was here.

As I said to her many times, it’s as if she allows me to see things in 3-D. She brought a clarity and focus to my life, and I thank her so much for that."

Anthony Caruso, CEO,
CSA Services, Marlton, NJ



"Within the past year people have commented to me that I seem happier, more confident, and less stressed, and they want to know why."

"With great pride I tell them it is my personal coach, Marie Forleo. One year ago when I first met Marie I had low self-esteem, terrible communication skills with my colleagues, boyfriend, and family, and was sitting in a huge rut at work. Over the year through my sessions with Marie, I have learned many concepts to help create a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Through concepts like letting go of being right I have gained respect and admiration by my colleagues at work and argue less with my family. By keeping my foot on the gas pedal of life, I have been offered a new employment opportunity in one of the most amazing places to live in the county doing a job I only dreamed I could have! Because Marie taught me to be truthful to myself, I am no longer in a relationship that caused me a tremendous amount of stress and pain – but am having a ton of fun dating all kinds of different guys to find someone who I don’t have to question or stress about! Best of all Marie leads by example, she is successful both professionally and personally – it’s important to me that a coach actually lives what they teach. I am so grateful for all Marie has taught me and brought into my life in just one short year, I can’t wait to see how future sessions with her will enrich my life beyond my imagination! With Marie’s help and my determination, the possibilities are endless!"

"Working with Marie Forleo is more like
playing— with really great results."

"Here’s my sense of Marie’s unique and joyous coaching style: Marie doesn’t think you need to be fixed. She thinks you probably do know what you need, but may be hesitant to admit it to yourself. That’s where she comes in: she establishes an environment where you can reach inside, figure it out, trust your impulses, and get it done.

While working with Marie: I went through a lot: a new marriage, a move, leaving a job, taking my first improv comedy class, writing my first book proposal, writing my first sitcom script. She keeps you accountable, but not in an annoying way...she just makes sure that you remember your promises to yourself. She does this with a combination of phone coaching and e-mail coaching. I always looked forward to her phone calls, because she is a funny, energetic presence—as good as the best latte with extra espresso. And like anything fueled by latte, it happens a little faster than ordinary life.

I’ve been coached before, and I’ve always been fortunate, but here’s what really stands out about Marie: she really does want you to get to the source of your goals. She was, and is, particularly acute about hearing what’s "underneath" what you say you want. I accomplished a lot while working with Marie, but I also crossed a lot of things off my list as I got more and more honest about what my real goals were. Again, this goes back to Marie’s generous acceptance of where her clients are *right* at this moment. That’s a huge gift, and that’s where a lot of my growth came—not in what I did, which was great—but in what I also left behind—the "shoulds" that can be so deadly to living a big life. I adore her; you will, too."

"I not only changed careers, but I eliminated thousands of dollars of debt..."

"I have Marie Forleo to thank for guiding me through a major life transition. I made a drastic career change and Marie was a tremendous support every step of the way. She taught me what it means to build a strong foundation so that I could easily leave one career and move on to the next. Marie listened to me in ways that no one had before. But not only did she listen, she provided new perspectives on how my life could be. She’s the one who taught me that I didn’t have to put up with so much! With her help, I not only changed careers, but I eliminated thousands of dollars of debt and learned how to create a life based on my true desires—not someone else’s. She is worth every penny and more!! I highly recommend Marie if you are looking to transform your life."

"A coaching session with Marie is like
having a massage for your soul."

"When I started working her I had just finished my first marathon and was overwhelmed with everything else in my life that had come second to my training: my husband, two kids, family, friends, and career. Marie coached me through the benefits of not worrying about what happened in the past or what was going to happen in the future and to start living in the present. In addition, she helped me to stop resisting those tasks or people that are causing me stress because "what you resist, persists and dominates your life." By practicing these philosophies and training my well-being muscles, I have been able to minimize my level of overwhelm and have more fun, be happier and achieve greater success.

A year and a half after starting to work with Marie, I have realized I can have my cake and eat it too - without the craziness. It took me giving up some of my bad habits and adding new tricks to my toolbox. Marie has listened closely to my concerns and taught me an easier way to engage with my life. I am still working to maintain and strengthen this lifestyle with Marie’s guidance. Life is easier these days. The relationships I have with my family, friends, colleagues and clients have significantly improved. Plus, I just ran my third marathon and achieved my goal of running under four hours with the support of my husband, my friend and running partner, family and friends. Unlike the first marathon, today I am more comfortable with where I am with my relationships, my career, and my life. Thanks to Marie I am enjoying The Good Life."

"...my business life is better than ever - not just from a financial standpoint, but from a personal satisfaction stand point as well."

"This is a quick letter to let you know how much my life has changed thanks to Marie’s coaching. When I began with working with Marie, I thought my life was already going well. But in a short amount of time, my life has become even 10 times better. I am now engaged to the woman of my dreams! And my business life is better than ever - not just from a financial standpoint, but from a personal satisfaction stand point as well. Not to mention the fact that I now feel more satisfied with my life exactly as it is. I also feel like I’ve discovered the path that I’m supposed to be on. She has a fantastic outlook on life and a unique and most importantly, very helpful way of looking at things. Thanks so much Marie, once again, for your invaluable calls and advice!"
