Hi! I'm Marielle.

I'm a British Speaker, LinkedIn Top Voice, LinkedIn Learning Instructor, and a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coach. I specialize in equipping global talent with transformative tools to excel. With over a decade of experience leading executive visibility campaigns for CEOs and senior leaders at some of the world’s largest companies in London and New York, one thing always stood out to me:

I rarely saw anyone like me— a woman or a person of color— at senior levels.

Today, millions of talented professionals are leaving the workplace, with women leading the charge.*

This alarming trend often stems from systemic issues such as:

  • A lack of opportunity to advance (48%),

  • Unsupportive managers (22%), and

  • Unmanageable workloads (17%)​​.*

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Changing how you support and develop your talent will make all the difference.

How I Work

Global companies, SMEs, and universities partner with me to deliver transformative leadership development workshops that rapidly upskill talent, boost retention, and dismantle barriers to progress. As a globally recognized speaker and trainer, I empower your talent with tools to enhance their influence, impact, and performance. Through engaging talks and workshops, I tackle leadership challenges head-on, equipping talent with powerful strategies to overcome barriers, enabling them to excel in their careers.

 
I've modernized the traditional approach to training with transformative personal branding and leadership development workshops for:
  • Women’s Leadership: Boost workplace confidence, influence, and impact.
  • Underrepresented Talent: Elevate and articulate unique perspectives.
  • High Potential Employees: Enhance visibility at work with key decision-makers.
  • Senior Managers: Executive confidence training to secure team buy-in.
  • CEOs and Thought Leaders: Cement their industry status as the go-to expert.

My goal is simple:

To equip your audience with actionable tools, unwavering confidence, and the power to move themselves forward.

Now You May Be Thinking...

"If I invest in my talent to help boost their confidence, increase visibility and cultivate a professional network, what stops them from leaving?"

Frankly, if your people want to leave, they will leave!

It’s not about holding staff hostage to keep them from leaving.

It’s about creating a culture and environment where they want to stay.

To do this, you must show that you care and address their needs.

This is where I can help.

I’ve dealt with the same issues your talent is facing, such as:

  • The imposter syndrome that comes with being the only woman and/or person of color on the team, in leadership, or at the boardroom table.

  • Not knowing how to use my voice and raise my profile as an introvert.

  • The fixed employee mindset that made me feel stuck and not in control of my career.

  • Not knowing how to network with senior leaders to cultivate sponsor relationships results in a lack of visibility at work.

  • The frustration that comes with hearing the same old lip service used to placate “diversity hires.”

Due to my extensive professional experience leading executive visibility campaigns for C-suite leaders globally, I’m well-equipped to teach how to empower talent in the workplace and help discover your company’s blind spots so you can start meeting your talent’s needs.
