MEET THE EXPERT

Hi, I'm Marianne —

I help lawyers get what they want. 

I know the unique challenges of being a practicing lawyer, because I'm a lawyer too. 

After handling high-profile litigation for 14 years, I changed course and became an entrepreneur, coach, and business development expert. I still work in law firms and with lawyers I admire and adore. 

You deserve to be happy.

Whether you're a seasoned lawyer or just starting out, deliriously happy in your career choices or flat-out miserable, in Big Law or at a small firm, in-house, with the government, at a nonprofit, or in transition, our courses will work for you. 

We're here to support & inspire you. 

I did all the research & work so you don't have to waste time or money on programs that might not work . . . or worse, that were boring, overwhelming, or somehow made you feel bad about yourself.
