“Through coaching, Marina offered valuable insights into my professional challenges, helping me unpack issues and analyse potential actions. Her approach was highly professional, insightful and caring, fostering a trusting environment for open conversations. I gained confidence in addressing confronting strategies and significantly benefited from our 12 months of collaboration.”

Vanessa Janissen - Director Corporate Strategy, Systems & Support, NSW Health Pathology

“As my coach, Marina showed great flexibility and understanding and helped me to reframe my challenges and work through them, helping me with such diverse needs as psychological advice and business planning perspectives. With Marina’s help, I have been able to build a new approach. Her calm and sensitive manner helped me to deal with uncertainty in a much more positive way. Marina’s positivity and wisdom have been a defining feature of our discussions.”

Jason Bruce - Principal, Bright Shirt Consulting

“Marina is a fantastic business coach who worked with me during a difficult transition from a senior executive position to deciding to resign and move to independent consulting. Her practical advice, encouraging approach and evidenced-based recommendations on ways to deal with difficult people and situations was invaluable. She taught me how to tap into the core drivers and motivators for my own behaviour and understand what I want to achieve and how to be successful in making that a reality. I would recommend Marina as a great coach to any senior executive or person undergoing a challenging workplace situation or major change.”

Rachel DeSain - Executive General Manager, Innovation and Development, Australian Digital Health Agency

“Marina has a unique ability to be objective yet personalised in her approach to coaching.  She is a great listener, always looking to understand context, roadblocks and desired outcomes from my point of view as her client.  She has a great range of tools and techniques at her fingertips and encouraged me to test and iterate in my own way, thereby holding me to account.  I never felt judged and knew that Marina always had my back.”
