“Marlene has the unique ability to share a universal message and yet tailor the message to the audience, whether it is students or staff. Not only is she easy to work with, we liked her programs so much we had her back a second time.”

“This was far and away the best seminar I have ever attended, because Marlene did not teach it, she explained how she lives it. She coached us to see how we can live it also. I thought the program was as close to perfect as possible.”
