"There's no greater advocate for big dreams than Marion Franklin. Her communication is so crisp and clear, and her intuition is profound. She was both teacher and mentor to me as I prepared for my Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential, and I will always be grateful for her support. 

If you want to reach your goals, I recommend adding some brilliance to your pursuit in the form of Marion Franklin." Pat Barone, MCC, Catalyst Coaching LLC PatBarone.com

"I hired Marion Franklin as my mentor coach to review my coaching and provide feedback so I could feel thoroughly prepared for the ICF PCC Oral Examination. Marion meticulously reviewed my coaching, provided detailed feedback on areas of strength, areas where I might improve and provided an overall education on the competencies. My confidence soared after working with Marion.

I really feel Marion was my secret weapon in gliding through the ICF examination process." Tina Elliot, MBA, PCC, (ICF Ethics Independent Review Board) Synergy Coaching

"Marion was my mentor coach during my professional and executive coaching certification process. She is an outstanding mentor/coach with deep intuition and mastery in direct communication. She states the growth opportunity in a very loving and humorous way that enables great awareness and an instant shift in behavior. She has deep knowledge and rich examples and very generously shares her wisdom, time and example recordings from her own practice. 

Furthermore, she provided me with written scripts of my coaching calls as well as the recording of our mentor sessions that helped me tremendously in retaining the knowledge. I felt so privileged to work with such a magnificent, highly skilled coach, who has so much desire to make a difference. The teaching/mentoring tools Marion utilizes –in my mind– should be the best practices and implemented wherever possible." Tijen Genco, MCC, Business Architect and Master Black Belt Lean/Six Sigma

"If you want to get on the fast track to being a great coach, then learning from Marion is your best bet! She can teach you what you need to know in a fraction of the time it would take you elsewhere. I've been a coach for 13 years, and I had the pleasure of being in one of her groups to renew my credentials. I was amazed at how simple yet effective her methods were. Without a doubt, Marion knows her stuff!" 
Kellie deRuyter, PCC, Business Coach for Coaches & Experts Kellie deRuyter.com

"I just received the ICF results for my PCC submission and I PASSED! You held me to high standards in modeling Core Competencies and Code of Ethics. As you coached me to truly understand the PCC markers and their implementation, you were very instrumental in my success. I want to express all my thanks and immense gratitude for your tireless mentoring, support, encouragement, generosity and care. There is no way I could have achieved this milestone without you. You are great. "
Valerie Del-Sol, PCC, Professional Certified Executive & Life Coach Valerie Del-Sol.com

"I don't know if I say enough how much I appreciate having this support for my coaching. It's like a professional self–care session. Denslow Brown, MCC, CPO, CPO–CD, SCACOrganizerCoach.com

"Marion is a fantastic mentor coach! Although I have also studied under other coaches, I started with Marion's Laser Coaching course and have stayed with her mentor group for the personal growth it offers me. 

Marion taught me that if I coach well, I can coach anyone or any situation; just bring my full presence , my curiosity , and direct communication. It took me a while to appreciate the simplicity of it; in the beginning I kept wondering about 'tools' that other people kept referring to and worrying that I didn't have these physical tools. With her guidance, I have come to know that I bring the important tools within me––and Marion has taught me how to find them.She is constantly coaching me to stretch to the next level of excellence, while honoring and applauding everything I have accomplished to date. 

There is no question of being prepared for any level of ICF exam, because Marion only teaches you to coach at an MCC level. Passing the ACC was so easy that if I had the coaching hours, I'd be ready to attempt the PCC. When the examiner asked who my mentor coach is, he enthusiastically commented that she is excellent! Thank you, Marion!!!!"
Bea Gagliardo Brennan, ACC BGB Coaching

"My coaching evaluation with Marion was extremely helpful as I am preparing to take my ICF ACC exam. Marion was very thorough and covered every piece of the coaching conversation showing me what areas were already good and what areas I need to give more attention. 

We covered every competency and she answered all of my questions (and I had many). I gained a lot of information, clarity, and awareness from the 'play by play' analysis of the conversation." 
Nikki Brown, ACC CreateAVisionCoaching

"Marion Franklin is an exceptional coach with a wealth of experience and skill needed to support your "end–in–mind" achievements. My personal experience with Marion resulted in passing the ICF coaching board certification exam at the PCC level. Marion used her excellent listening, questioning and direct feedback skills to connect me to the work I needed to do to accomplish my goals. 

Throughout the experience it was evident that she was deeply invested in my success. She is a coach who genuinely cares about the end results of the collaborative efforts that exist between a coach and client. Having worked with others coaches, Marion is one I would love to work with again. It's important to note I met with her one time, took my exam the following week and passed. She's a winner!

"You are an incredibly effective teacher! Given that coaching can be such an illusive skill set, teaching others how to capture the essence is difficult. You have broken it down into manageable and understandable pieces, which I really appreciate. As a learner, I need to see the big picture; however, I need to understand all the pieces of the puzzle as well." 
Susan Murell Castaneda, MS, NBCT Equine Alchemy Southwest

"I wish to acknowledge you, Marion, for being a superb coach with a stellar intuitive coaching style. In all four of yesterday's coaching sessions you immediately zoomed in on the client's real topic.  

What a great learning experience yesterday's session was for me! So, I really was in the right place for an experience that provided me with great learning and growth, both as a person and as a coach."  Marie Tapper, Co–Active Coach and Published Researcher, SunWindWater Blog

Marion's Mentor Program is one of kind in its tangible and real value. Marion takes your coaching skill to a new and revolutionary level utilizing her natural inquisitiveness and her authenticity. 

Marion revolutionized my world and was the muse behind the Ready for Happiness Group and the mind shift that had to occur in me to believe owning and building my own business was possible. The longer I stay in this industry, the more I realize how honest and wise you are. Marion will give you the honest truth regardless of what it may cost her personally. She is above reproach in the integrity category, and I highly recommend taking any and all feedback she may have to offer. 
Kathy Brandon, – Ready for Happiness Group 

I highly recommend Marion Franklin who specializes in those seeking or renewing ICF certification as I recently needed to renew my PCC status. I found working with Marion to be cost effective and extremely valuable.  

I am honored and pleased to say that working with her in getting those hours met was an unexpected gift for me. What started out as a requirement ended up as a much appreciated skills enhancement refresher. 
Judy Epstein, RN, PCC – Life Enrichment Coach.com

I just want to say that I am SO THRILLED to be able to re–join this program! I view this program you offer as the coaching version of what Toastmasters provides for speaking.... Practice and invaluable feedback. 
Marjorie Geiser, MBA, RD, NSCA–CPT, Business coach, author, speaker – MEG–Enterprises.com

Marion, thank you for including me as a newcomer, for the opportunity to coach, and for your comments. I am still processing everything. 

I appreciate the gracious way you handled everything. You included everyone's comments, and you remained neutral about everything that was said. I liked your upbeat tone and the educational focus.  

My favorite part was the way you checked in with what people were thinking. It is very intriguing to observe the clarity this brought out. What a great group of coaches. We are all blessed! 
Jessie Hipolit, PCC – AttractTheLifeYouWant.com 

I come away after each group call with a new technique, approach or an idea. The class is dynamite and is of tremendous value. L.B. 

I appreciate all your wisdom, guidance, concern, and patience. Your format is great in that we get training and learning through experience. You make everything look so easy too, and there is nothing like learning from a master. J.Q.

Marion is a unique blend of coach/teacher and brings enormous value and experience to this call. An added value is the wonderful coaches she attracts to be part of this group. Not only did I come away with this solid foundation, I also gained tremendous confidence in my coaching skills. This would be a wonderful group at any price! Beth Lyons – KitchenTableCoaching.com 

Thanks to Marion's smart way of structuring each call to provide practice and supportive feedback, I've been able, in a relatively short time, to expand my range as a coach and to coach more confidently and intuitively. Marion keeps the focus on our coaching and her incisive comments have sharpened my coaching. S.W.

Marion helped us all feel at ease and willing to share our ideas with her easy, graceful way of eliciting comments. I especially loved the 'sidebars' she convened, when she stopped the practice coaching briefly and asked for comments from the observers–but unlike in court, the 'client' heard all of the comments as well and could respond to those that resonated. Marion also wove in many coaching tips and strategies into the session. It was a pleasure to hear good coaching in action. Don Morris – EncouragementPlus.com
