I was introduced to Marion's program, Laser Coach Your Way to Sustainable Success: A 12 week Intensive, and FINALLY found what I had been missing. As a coach that initially went through a prominent coaching school, two and half years later I was still looking for a foundation to coaching that was lacking from my training. In my attempt to fill in the holes, I tried a few other programs that promised a comprehensive approach, but I ended up very disappointed with the outcomes.

Marion's program is not only one I would recommend to a new coach, as it offers every foundational element required to be a coach, but is one I would recommend to ANY coach that seeks mastery of the craft.

I am very pleased to say that my coaching has improved, but what I am really excited about is the change in my confidence level. This program has given me a whole new approach to coaching along with the skills that were lacking from my coaching school and subsequent trainings.

Graduating from Marion's program is going to make the biggest difference in my business and in my life, and is the ONLY COACHING PROGRAM I FULLY RECOMMEND. It is a "don't miss" if you are serious about making coaching a career. Thanks Marion for everything!

The program gives coaching a new meaning and enabled me to apply the training that I already had and take it to a masterful level. The program is unique in that it brought depth, meaning, and color to coaching and really brought it to life. The skills and the practice that the program focused on are those skills that will separate the truly gifted coaches, the truly masterful coaches, from everyone else.

The program is built around an incredibly profound, yet often overlooked question and approach, and that alone had an instant impact on my ability to be a better coach. It gave me a lot of clarity and led to a deeper understanding of what coaching is all about.

I am confident that my clients experience dramatic shifts much sooner because of applying the core principles of the program. One learning point alone is capable of making an incredible difference.

Choosing the 'Laser Coach Your Way to Success' program has been the best decision I could have made to launch my career as a life coach. As I researched courses, it was important to me to take a course that had ICF accreditation. This course has to be one of the finest values available for like-minded serious students.

In our small classes we have unprecedented access to Marion so that we can internalize the concepts, practice the competencies, and clarify our understanding every time we meet. Two delightfully unexpected benefits of the small group size have been opportunity for reflection and personal growth and development of a bond between fellow students as we practice and support each other's success.

Marion shows an obvious real interest in teaching her students to be successful coaches. She freely shares insights from her own successful practice.

Not only do we benefit from learning coaching skills but we gain tools to assist in creating our own successful coaching businesses. I am absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to learn from such a talented coach and educator.

I was very impressed and happy with Marion's program. I went in as a new coach and left the program fully confident and capable to start my own practice. Now at this point I have five paying clients.

It was quite an experience to not only learn valuable coaching tools and resources, but to also gain great insight and knowledge from a Master Coach that has her own full and ongoing practice. She is a great inspiration and I was honored to learn a lot from her and her assistant Kirsten.

Terrific class for all coaches; those already coaching, new coaches and those who want to get into coaching. Each week you learn something new and can practice and see what you have learned in action at the practice calls.

And everything that you learn is what you will use in your coaching. There is no wasted learning. The instructors, Marion Franklin and her assistant, Kirsten Allen are the best. If you have a chance to take this course, take It!

Along the way, there have been powerful people who have forever changed the direction of my life. Marion, is one of those people. She is a master of holding the greater truth in mind, and as a by-product, creating sustainable change.

Marion's teaching of her 'Getting Started' classes offered more learning on the 'How To' of coaching than any other classes I had ever taken. Those courses have now ebbed into Laser Coach Your Way to Sustainable Success, and it continues to offer the best in coach training. It is the only coaching program that has very individualized attention with built-in follow up as well as the experience of letting participants build skills and learn masterful coaching through exceptionally interactive exercises.

It is a true gift to experience Marion's mastery as a coach. My coaching has grown by leap and bounds, and conversations that used to be sticky and uncomfortable are now effortless. My business has doubled, and I'm attracting desirable clients and am now coaching national organizations thanks to my confidence and skills fostered by Marion's techniques.

The return on my investment is priceless. I have gained confidence and awareness and continue to develop through Marion's Mentor group. Marion offers the whole package as a place to grow and develop as a coach and a space to hone and master coaching and business skills. It has greatly changed my coaching, business, and life for the better.

Marion is an enormously skilled mentor coach and teacher. She brings her wide experience, keen insight, and exquisite timing to every call. Marion can pinpoint the most important issues and treat them with the seriousness they deserve. At the same time, she has a light, humorous tone that can reduce tensions and facilitate shifts in beliefs and attitudes.

Marion is also amazing because even though she is a seasoned coach, she demonstrates humility. And what's even more remarkable is that she has a way of teaching you how to do the same. I found her mentoring groups and coach training courses tremendously valuable.

Don H. Morris, Life Coach, Encouragement Plus Coaching

I came to the course as a total novice and by the end of the 12 weeks, I feel as though I can coach effectively. I was somewhat unsure of taking a course over the telephone, however the program provided a very rich learning environment and classes are structured in a way that made them easy to follow, very interactive, and fun. Classes were well thought out and made it effortless to grasp the material being taught.

The 12 weeks are intense, but this allows for full immersion into the material. Additionally, there is a lot of hands on experience in terms of coaching practice. By the end of the course, you are fully prepared to start a coaching practice.

Claudine Arthurs, Life Coach

This class has had a dramatic impact on the way I approach each client, getting beyond their story to the deeper places which are almost craving clarity and movement. This is so much more than moving someone to action, it is helping them clear the clutter on their path which frees them to run to their future and dance in the discovery of their potential.

Marion provided top notch coach training and mentoring as I was preparing for my next level of credentialing. She is an incredible trainer, making sure that all in the class are involved in what is being shared. She has an extensive background in the wide field of personal coaching and brings all of that to her work with her clients. I learned so much from her and continue to use it on a daily basis. I look forward to working with her in the future.

I am delighting in what it feels like to 'dance' with a client in their purposeful journey.

Sandra Wimpelberg, –– Your Coach for LIFE

I found the material covered in this class directly applicable to my own coaching practice and was able to immediately utilize some of what I learned with my current clients. I noticed both Marion's and Kirsten's deep knowledge of the material and their commitment to teaching it well. I observed a lot of patience by both teachers when listening to both simple comments as well as beginner coaches struggling to learn how to coach. Kudo's on that!!! Add personal growth to the roster of added value for me.

Since learning more about listening for strategies & defenses, themes, and structures, I have noticed an undeniable improvement in my coaching. My clients are experiencing more and deeper connections with who they really are, how they really think and why they may be behaving in certain ways. It is not because I am telling them! It is clearly because I am listening for these components and formulating my questions from this knowledge of what to listen for.Your tutelage/mentoring has made a great difference in my effectiveness as a coach.

The tone that was set for the class was great and allowed me to feel safe making myself vulnerable, an area of development I felt I did very well with as I did not feel judged by anyone. The class was most valuable and I will recommend it to anyone that may be in need of more coach training or the need for CCEU's for ICF requirements. Thank you both very much for your expertise. A satisfied participant for sure!

Stewart E. Berman, PCC Personal, Business and Mentor Coach

Marion's Laser coaching class isn't just a class; it's her gift to the coaching world. She gives you her knowledge, wisdom, support and attention. The commitment and knowledge of the instructors gave me every opportunity to understand and process new information.

As a new or seasoned coach, you remember that the art of listening is the key to connecting with people. I came away from this experience with skills, tools, and a foundation of how to coach.

Stephanie Jansse, MS, Life Coach

Marion's class really helped me learn how to coach and not just about what coaching is. With her excellent teaching, demonstrating, and affirming abilities it made the class extremely informative, useful and enjoyable.

Excellent teaching and presentation of info and ideas; Excellent examples/ demonstrations of coaching; Excellent at including every single person every single class; excellent at conveying that it is doable to become a good coach

Cheryl Cope, Christian Life and Wellness Coach

Since going through Marion's program, my life will never be the same and coaching is certainly the right fit for me. Although notes and the 'technical' part is important and necessary, the part that really got me into learning the coaching is the interactive learning through examples, observing, actual coaching, and client scenarios.

Putting the learned techniques into action is a strong part of this program and therefore the small class size was a great benefit. The different aspects of learning to listen was big for me and will be very helpful in my coaching and all of my relationships.

I learned what I needed to know to facilitate others to get to the place where they want to go. I have always had a passion to help empower others and now I am doing that. Thank you so much.

Tammy Rempel, Divorce Recovery & Relationship Coach

I arrived at Marion’s course with no prior formal coaching training.
From the get-go the Laser Coaching Program focuses on the real cut and thrust of coaching: How do you help the client experience a genuine shift in how they view a situation? How do you set about to create the space for a client to think, hold the agenda walk them through the process step-by-step. No hype. No BS. Just the step-by-step process of how to peel the onion, if you will, and always in a deliberately, kind and compassionate manner. Sounds easy but it’s hard to do.

Marion’s laser coaching program will give you all of the coaching basics. Her Mentor call will give you an additional invaluable opportunity to continue to learn, grow and practice. Together they provide a powerful learning experience.

Marion Franklin is a coach’s coach – a master operating at the top of her game. She comes with a top- flight coaching pedigree, having worked directly with Thomas Leonard. Marion also cares greatly about helping people which shines through in many ways and you cannot fake this stuff. It has been a privilege and an honor to study with her, know her and to have her as a mentor.

If you’re really serious about wanting to become a coach and want to get right to the heart of what coaching is really all about, then sign up for this program – now.

Marion demystifies the coaching process, providing clear tools and structures that instill confidence because they create great results.

The course you teach really delivers what it promises and stands alone on its own!

Lorna Sass, Transformational Life Coach

I signed up for the Laser Coaching Intensive as a part of my ICF recertification requirements and received an even greater result. Marion's voluminous knowledge, innate wisdom, and advanced mastery of both the profession of coaching and 'beingness' in life was a true honor to experience.

The materials were intensely spot-on and the way the course was created, engaging deeply in the process was hugely beneficial. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to learn more at this level of coaching excellence.

Just want to tell you how much I am enjoying your course. I've taken a lot of different types of trainings but nothing quite as 'real' as yours, and the material is so fascinating.

I am so very grateful for your incredibly competent and dynamic presentation and for your remarkable way of providing necessary feedback without being critical or shaming. This is the most effective environment for learning. Also, it doesn't hurt that you have a beautifully pitched voice!
