T. Houle, Founder and CEO Accelergen, Austin Texas
As the Founder and CEO of a rapidly growing company, I was in search of an executive coach that could help me elevate my leadership abilities and build a healthy corporate culture. After evaluating a number of highly-qualified coaches, it was clear that Marie was the right fit for our needs. Her level of expertise, insightful and straight forward approach to executive and team coaching sets her apart from the rest. From day one, she has been an invaluable member of our team, accurately identifying areas of improvement and equipping us with effective tools to communicate and make necessary changes. By embracing Marie's techniques, we have achieved impressive results in numerous areas, from securing funding to hiring top-level talent and fostering a positive workplace culture. Marie's approach is both methodical and adaptable, and her continued support and professional guidance have been instrumental in our success. I highly recommend Marie to any individual or organization looking to elevate their growth, development, and foster a superior corporate culture.

G.Davis, Senior Advisor Mc Kinsey, London
Marie is an amazing human, and a real force of nature. As a coach she has been a hugely positive addition to my life, and she has helped me to grow as a professional and a person. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is working to become a better leader and a broader and more fulfilled person. I think her skills are broadly applicable, but her passion and interest in working with entrepreneurial companies and investors is pretty infectious, and I believe that is where her true passion lies. I think Marie has outstanding core skills that help make her successful - she is empathetic, she's a great listener, she's intelligent and structured, and perhaps most importantly she is highly ambitious for the people she works with. She doesn't settle. But what is most interesting and empowering is that Marie is, I believe, deeply committed to the whole person. I think she understands that to be a strong and impactful leader, the whole of a person needs to be working in harmony. She has the intelligence to perceive that and to help people make the very most of what they can deliver to the world. And when you do it... she gives you all the credit!

D. Sinha, Engineering Lead Google, Silicon Valley
I have been benefiting immensely from the coaching with Marie. We have been doing deep dives on leadership qualities. Everybody, however successful they are, has a blind spot. A coach can see that and help you become aware. I got in touch with Marie through an amazing leadership session at our company. Later I thought it's an excellent opportunity to take some coaching to enhance my leadership skills. It was a wonderful decision on my part to do that. Since then, I have really benefited from Marie’s thought process. I feel while working with Marie that it is like talking to myself. She has a unique approach of asking great probing questions, which helps me to dig deeper in my own mind and heart to discover the answers rather than just getting answers. This way I feel more connected to the solution and able to take action steps. This is very valuable. Marie is very approachable and personable. I would recommend her to anybody who is in path to discover themselves and grow in leadership effectiveness!

M. Borer, Partner Bevel PR, New York
Marie has been the most critical part of shaping my professional approach to my new role as Partner. Each month, we work together to overcome obstacles and roadblocks. Marie has helped me shift my mindset - showing me I am capable of becoming a strong, resilient and powerful leader - helping me recognize and step into my power. I very much look forward to our time together. Every executive needs a Marie in his or her life!

N. Cabrera, Senior Vice President, Investment Administration & Servicing PCCP, Los Angeles
Marie is a breath of fresh air. Her optimism, wisdom, sincerity, and continual encouragement allowed me to truly open-up, peel back some layers, and “be coachable”. I felt safe, trust was built, and growth followed.
Marie is velvet & steel in her approach. She skillfully knew when to be soft and when she needed to be tougher. With each action plan, she held me accountable and encouraged me to stretch. It was amazing at how readily she could spot my saboteurs, then help me redirect. Marie shared the many tools she has in her arsenal and provided the training to effectively use them.
I am eternally grateful for my time with Marie. She has awakened my inner Leader and opened my eyes to possibilities and paths……. which allow me to move toward the destinations of my choosing. I strongly encourage embarking on your journey to “better” with Marie as your Executive Coach.

J. Groot, Acting CEO PEAS, London
Marie’s high energy approach was the perfect balance of giving me confidence and holding me to account. Her coaching gave me the headspace to tackle challenges in my professional and personal life, and encouraged me to build a new level of momentum in my role and for our organisation.
I’ve found myself sharing many of the approaches she brought to our sessions with others. I’m now a coaching convert, encouraging my highest performers to find someone like Marie to help them clarify their goals and push themselves to focus on what matters.

K. Perkins, Executive Director, Human Resources at Celgene, Silicon Valley
Marie was my coach while I was going through a career transition. This was a difficult time for me...after a 25 year career in business, I found myself at a crossroads and not sure what to do next. Should I retire? Should I return to full-time employment? Should I do something more entrepreneurial? Should I pursue a different direction all together? Marie was excellent. Not only is she exceedingly positive and helpful in framing things in a solution-oriented way, she is also extremely consultative, thus allowing me to arrive at the answers I needed in my own time. Moreover, having all these choices, although a blessing, was a bit overwhelming. Marie helped me tune out the noise, prioritize and stay focused. She held me accountable to deliverables and to ensuring my actions matched my words. She was direct and honest in her feedback. Now, nearly a year later and on the other side of my transition, I can honestly say that I am leading a life that is more aligned with my aspirations. I highly recommend Marie as a coach. You will undoubtedly conclude, as I did, that Marie's calling is to help people reach their full potential.

S. Tebbe, CEO at CDP Europe, Geneva
Marie is an excellent coach who will recharge your batteries with positive energy. She accompanies my team with preparation of our Offsite event for four years now and has regular coaching sessions with our directors. She easily spreads her limitless enthusiasm on even the shiest employees and constantly re-evaluates her methods to ensure that everybody feels comfortable and at ease. Marie gracefully combines being structured and methodological with empathy and thoughtfulness. As a coach, she brings a wealth of knowledge about behavioural science and human nature. The activities she proposes are tailored to achieve the goal that is pursued. During these four years of our common work, Marie has not only made us grow unstoppably, but also encouraged more cross-pillar collaboration and facing any misunderstanding before it escalates. We are utterly grateful to her for all her support and feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her.

C. Schmiegel, Chief of Staff at CELO Europe, Berlin
We invited Marie to speak at our C Labs Fall Retreat about "Influence when it matters". The workshop was intended to invite our employees from our international office to come together, reflect and raise self awareness. Marie made a true impact on the event organisation team from day one given her wealth of experience from working with different company sizes. I was very impressed with the quality of Marie's workshop. It was very well organized, very personable since Marie quickly learned all attendees names and the energy was excellent thanks to Marie's natural aptitude for connecting with people and connecting people. It was a great experience working with Marie and she made a true impact on the outcome of our event, therefore I strongly recommend bringing Marie onboard.

I found the experience of being coached extremely enlightening as it has helped me identify and improve myself both personally and professionally. Thanks to the coaching techniques provided by Marie over the last several months, I have learned to communicate effectively with my team, vocalize my opinions with upper management and most importantly, learned the importance of time management. Marie’s relaxed and gentle approach has provided me with the knowledge and techniques that will enable me to continue to improve and grow as an employee and as a manager.

S. Shrivastava, Principal Product Designer at Salesforce, San Francisco
Marie transformed my life for the better when I was looking for internal strength that could help me outperform in my personal and professional life. She always approached me as a friend more than a mentor to closely understand me, connect with me, and guide me through areas where I needed improvement. She uplifted me every single time, irrespective of whether I showed signs of growth or not and that was the most powerful tool of her's that kept me going. I would highly recommend her as a coach who would bring out the best in you by helping you explore your strengths and internal happiness.

O. Katrich, Head of Global Payroll at ThousandEyes, San Francisco
I feel very fortunate for an opportunity ThousandEyes gave me. As a part of the Management Fundamentals Program, we were able to work individually with a personal trainer. I worked with Marie Myrberg and she was absolutely brilliant! From our first session I felt I was talking to a great friend who helped me to dive into a center of complex situations, walked me through the discovery stage, up to a moment I was able to reach resolution point(s). The process seemed so natural and very rewarding. I feel Marie equipped me with strong tools to be a better manager and a leader.

As a Sales Executive, I've always understood the importance of personal growth and development. That's why when I decided to seek out an executive coach, I chose Marie. Her impact on my professional journey has been nothing short of transformative.
Marie brings a rare combination of insightful questioning, deep listening, and strategic thinking to her coaching. She provided me with the tools and strategies to not only tackle my current challenges but also to anticipate and prepare for future obstacles.
Through her tailored coaching sessions, Marie helped me refine my communication skills, bolster my leadership abilities, and improve my decision-making process. I've noticed a significant boost in my performance and a notable increase in my confidence. My relationships with my team, superiors, and clients have improved, and I'm closing deals more efficiently than ever.
Marie has an incredible knack for unlocking potential. Her positive, solution-oriented approach is empowering and motivates you to perform at your best. She doesn't just help you meet your goals – she inspires you to exceed them.

A.Hamdy, MD, CEO Vincerx Pharma, Silicon Valley
I have worked with Marie as a coach, trainer, and moderator for over four years and am constantly impressed by her go getter attitude and results-oriented work. She is an energetic and attentive moderator and strikes a great balance between the group dynamic and attention to individuals. Her coaching is tailored to fit, she is an excellent listener, and she has an uncanny ability to see the larger picture while keeping her focus on what her mentees have set out to achieve. I would highly recommend Marie in all of these roles since I am confident that she will deliver results above and beyond what her clients book her for.

M. Wackernagel, Ph.D. Founder of Global Footprint Network, Berkley
Marie is upbeat, energetic, knowledgeable, kind, and practical. Most importantly, she met me where I was at. We focused on key areas that limited my ability to be effective in implementing my vision, covering grounds from self-empathy to exploring the impact of my social constellations and how I can more meaningfully and effectively contribute to joyful, collective success. Marie’s practical guidance, helpful questions, plethora of resources, patient cheering, gentle and helpful pushing, allowed me to grow in areas that I could not even identify clearly when we started. In just a few face-to-face hours, sprinkled over a year, we covered a long journey. It was not “In 80 days around the world”, as Jules Vernes proposed, but a journey through the adventures of my inner world, identifying new possibilities to make my outer adventures more transformational.

L. Ortiz, Lead at YouTube, New York
Marie was incredible at helping me get "unstuck" in my career at Google. Having been at Google for over a decade, I found myself lost in an impressive, but unfulfilling role. With her coaching, I unearthed the blockers prohibiting my career progress and landed the Google job of my dreams. Marie's coaching style is easy, yet actionable with loads of useful tools and frameworks. I learned so much professionally and personally and cannot recommend her enough. I am more confident, clear and empowered than ever before thanks to her coaching!
-
A. Mjelde, Co-Founder and CEO Two, Oslo
Marie is a fantastic executive coach! She is versatile and just as good as a sparring partner on business/organizational challenges as she is to help you achieve your potential as an individual and leader. She strikes the perfect balance between being a great listener who is supportive and patient while also being ambitious and demanding on your behalf. I would recommend Marie to anybody who wants to continue to develop as a person and leader.

T. Nazlawy, Senior Director Adidas, Amsterdam
My experience with Marie set me on a path of personal transformation. I wasn't sure what to expect from the outset, but after 6 months of work, I emerged more confident, peaceful - and more myself than when I began. Her method is very complete and embraces that we're happiest when all the aspects of our lives work in harmony. In our sessions, I felt simultaneously challenged and supported, which helped me arrive at some truly unexpected "aha" moments. I still often go back to our session notes, which are a deep well of insight and inspiration to draw upon. I'm a firm believer that anyone who wants to level up needs someone like Marie in their corner.

R. Takes, Head of Engineering KitBash3D, San Francisco
Working with Marie has made me a stronger leader, enabled me to actively chase my career goals and given me an extra level of confidence, both personally and professionally.
We met regularly, mainly focusing on the next step in my career. She guided me through the process to identify my values and how they aligned with finding the company and position that would allow me to be the most successful. Following her guidance I have stepped into a more influential role, at a company I am much more aligned with.
Marie kept me accountable and pushed me to be a better version of myself. She did so in a way that was supportive and always showed that she cared about me as a person.
It has continued to be an absolute pleasure working with Marie. During the time she has been coaching me, I have excelled in my job and received very positive feedback from my boss and my peers. I feel so much better equipped to chase and achieve my goals after having worked with Marie. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

A. Barbakoff, Vice President, PCCP New York
Marie helped me break out of a stress shell and worked with me to become a better version of myself both in and out of the office. She’s an expert on stress relief methods, working through work politics, and acts as a strong soundboard to think through and tackle everyday work/life balance issues. She shows up excited to work and gives even tough messages with a calming smile. Our sessions are always something to look forward to in throughout the busy week!

Her genuine listening and deep understanding of my goals paved the way for practical, hands-on practice, especially in navigating through tough conversations. Marie nudged me out of my comfort zone, empowering me to lead with a firm yet empathetic hand and take a stronger initiative in supporting the development of the personnel I manage. I'm now not only a manager with clearer and more empathetic communication but also one who isn’t afraid to be as direct as possible, all thanks to her insightful coaching.

K. Blessing, Director Operations Strategy Amaze, Cincinnati
Marie was introduced to me as I was promoted to my first Director level role; the right partner at an opportune time. She has helped me progress with managing fear, leveling up, delegation, motivation, self-saboteurs, how to approach networking and more. If you come to the table ready to tackle some goals, Marie is an invaluable asset to help you on your way. I’ve had so many ‘aha! Moments’ it’s really been a trip. I highly encourage this investment of time and effort as this is not some abstract thought, but actionable steps to meet your goals that pay off in perpetuity.

M. Flynn Managing Director Investment Relations, LCatterton, Paris
Working with Marie has been a very good fit for me. I appreciate her compassionate stance towards the challenges that I face in my role which is balanced by how she holds me accountable to improve. The most important thing in my work with Marie has been creating more structure around my role. Her insights into leadership frameworks and how female leaders may face additional scrutiny have also been extremely helpful.
My experiences with Marie have been overwhelmingly positive. She has helped me improve my day to day job structure as well as executive presence. She has helped me enhance investor tracking structure, leading to increased efficiency. In addition, the structure has helped with better team dynamics and improved time management. Finally, she has helped me overcome challenges with my team, mainly through giving more effective feedback.
Marie is very high energy, empathetic but firm, organised and structured and keeps me honest and to account. Her sessions are real hard work, I feel that she pinpoints the issues together with me, with a lot of focus on techniques which would help me with further development and food for thought.
I find myself more confident and more assertive and armed with the right strategies to continue to develop myself as a leader. I believe I have been able to strengthen my team and how individuals operate resulting in better work product.
