Here's what people are saying:
“Marilyn’s approach was super flexible and she really made an effort to adjust to our specific needs and context. The result is a set of customer service advisors who not only engaged actively with training but also shared how much more empowered they feel to handle the stress of the role. ‘I now own the call,’ one of them told me. There is real power in that. Thank you, Marilyn!”
"Our company booked Marilyn for a small, corporate retreat. We are a customer service-based industry, and Marilyn's topics hit the nail right on the head. Each employee left our session feeling refreshed, engaged, and ready to take on the most difficult customer! She went above and beyond our expectations and was an absolute pleasure to work with."

"We just finished a great departmental training lead by Marilyn! She kept a diverse group of 100 totally engaged and the material was spot on. My staff left the training reenergized and excited for the start of the academic year. One of the best trainings we have had in a very long time. Looking forward to discussing opportunities to partner in the future."

"The Baker Online staff had a wonderful time while learning so much! You provided great tools to take our customer service to the next level. Your sessions were very engaging. There was never a dull moment! I loved the stories shared of your PERSONAL experiences instead of the "canned" stories trainers often share. It was an incredible learning experience. The staff are STILL a buzz about the session. They have been discussing their experience with each other, comparing notes, and making plans to incorporate what they have learned into daily practice."

As a blogger and advocate, Marilyn has the enviable ability to put a fresh spin on a variety of subjects to draw interest and readers. Over the years, I found her work to require very little editing -- and on the rare occasions where we needed to rethink something, she was quick to offer alternatives and fresh takes."

The staff was actively engaged and were well-trained for the various customer service scenarios that were prepared prior to the opening of our new building.
