Welcome to the New MLA: Mastery of Leadership Arts
A Game-changing Approach to Mining & Mobilizing your Authentic Power & Potential
Are you ready for a different breakthrough
to shift from "driven" to INSPIRED?
Let’s equip you with new keys that will finally activate your greatest joy, impact & prosperity.
Welcome. You're in the right place.
If you’re reading this, chances are you are a rare bird and something wants us to help you find your wings.
You've heard "unleash your potential" and "authentic self" enough that they can become platitudes or even painful. Let's stop that right now. I want you to be waking up inspired, effectively flowing with infinitely-sourced energy, making a difference, making money, communicating & playing well with others, and falling asleep grateful, pleased & proud of who you are being and how you've invested what you bring to the party. We'll clear obstacles beyond the usual suspects. We'll dig deeper and reach higher!
You are a good-hearted human and want to do a good job as a leader and bring out the best in yourself and your people. While you keep showing up trying to keep up, you may sense a restlessness, sometimes feel depleted, disheartened or longing for something different.
And, let’s face it, being a “good leader” is harder than ever. Yet the popular advice and your former winning strategy inclinations tell you to keep trying in a zig paradigm. The New Mastery of Leadership Arts (MLA “school”) is going to equip you with pattern-interrupting tools to zag, from the inside out.
Your system senses that something’s up (like a spidey sense) and there’s got to be a better way for you to experience authentic aliveness, enjoyment and effectiveness. For how we define and create success to flow forward. Ironically, the way you’ve been trying to succeed is what’s in the way now. You deserve better and the world deserves the better you.
Can you feel your future self calling you to be your realized self, sharing your gifts, “catching the green lights” synchronistic flow— somehow living a no shoulds and no regrets life? You might feel grateful for the job and life you have, so think you better take care of what’s urgently on your plate. Understandably so. And, after the privilege of working with bright leaders and complex human beings like you for 27 years, the MLA is here to crack the code and liberate you from inherited, insidious, limiting patterns and help you wake up to your greater joy. For good.
You inherited hard work and responsibility. How is that going when you look across a spreadsheet or across the room in a meeting, or into the eyes of loved ones, and when you really look inside your truest heart on Monday morning? I have good news. What will actually bust open your greatest fulfillment and legacy in synch with your true spirit is a whole new way to relate to pause, trust and play, not more figuring things out and working harder.
What if your most important job is not what you think it is?
From early on, you’ve been programmed to try to go get and then perform at a job as a top ingredient in the recipe for achieving the dream. Feel into this energetically in your body for a moment— job= “just obey boss” (especially your inner boss, hmm?) vs. JOY =authentic, inspired Journey Of You (your natural genius, calling, what you love, and are meant to be up to.)
You have a chance to re-evaluate what you really want to create. To radically shift who is the “I” in “What do I want?”
Many well-intended efforts have been trying to solve the human happiness, success & leadership development game for a long while. Your real freedom breaks open when you realize most of that is trying to solve the wrong problem. It’s not your fault. It’s the normal human condition programming and cultural paradigm sucking you in to recycle patterns.
But, YOU are not here to slip into staying busy and looking good on a seeker-acheiver trying treadmill.
IT’s time for a whole new conversation
We are on a mission to fuel a paradigm shift for healthier, happier, sustainable success with game-changing tools.
It is possible. And it’s time.
You are not here by accident.
You are meant to be a new leader. There’s something that wants to direct you to your optimal fulfillment and impact. It may be like a whisper more than a roar. Do you hear what I hear? :-) Where is your attention getting derailed? It’s not easy to shift gears from embedded habits in a system that has rewarded you with security and praise. (Or at least the appearance of these.) What could be a new intention that fuels what really wants to emerge for you and through you now?
This “new school” is the culmination of decades of research, testing and the privilege of 27 years working with bright leaders/complex human beings like you. The MLA is about unleashing your true power; not unhealthy power stereotypes.
Even though you are super intelligent and savvy in many ways, chances are you are not fully in alignment with who you really are meant to be, and what you are here to do. I'm here to help you do nothing less than that!
Early adopter MLA clients are growth-positive leaders (corporate VPs, President, Chairperson of board, managing partner, startup CEOs) women & men, various fields and missions. Millenial, GenX and modern elder leaders tell me they can talk with me on multiple dimensions- from spiritual, intuitive and inner psychological/emotional depth to strategic and tactical (that they have not discovered at the same level in one package with anyone else). We discover what is truly effective and efficient for creating breakthroughs. They gain a whole new level of mastery with their inner world and navigating the pragmatic business world. Inner peace and passion blending with outer performance and prosperity is just the beginning.
Are you ready for an eye-opening, possibly life-changing conversation?
What do You need?
Why are you here? Tell me about your desires in your leadership, business, life.
Your heart is too big to fail ! :-) I’m here to teach you how to activate your resilience and new emergence in a way that we’ll look back on with awe.
How do you want to be feeling? I know you care. You want to feel better and lead better. Taking care of business means taking care of people more than ever now. Starting with yourself is imperative. You really need to stop “trying to do a good job” to unleash your greatest work. Ironically your not wanting to “let them down” is getting in the way of the best impact you could have on the people and projects that matter most to you.
Are you ready to learn the secrets of what it really takes?
It all starts with one question.
Clients are saying…
“I’ve seen remarkable shifts and grown/stretched in key ways. A big part of this is answering (daily) the question 'What energy am I coming from?' It's mystical AND practical work and, over time, it trains new muscles, creates greater resilience, problem-solving capacity and creativity.” - Luke Pustejovsky, CEO, GenX
“I am a totally different person. I feel empowered to step outside of the old business norms and lead in a way that feels in line with my deep personal values and greater potential, rather than what society has ingrained in me. My advice is to be open to Marian’s teaching methods and tools. During our first few months together, I would be late to our sessions, absorbed in trying to keep up with a busy work schedule, and questioning the value. I now have experienced the incredible value in my leadership and life, look forward to our calls, and consider them to be the most important business meeting of the week.” - Laura Wensley, corporate VP, Millenial
Gallup reports tell us we have a worldwide employee engagement crisis at 87%. Forbes reminds us we have a leadership crisis. You’ve been trying to keep up with changing market conditions, uncertainty, taking care of human hearts and hitting your numbers, while juggling all your beeping devices. You've been taught to solve problems with strategic plans, and goal setting in "war room meetings." There's a cacophony of carnival barkers promising new ways to innovate & meditate & monetize. Self-help gurus want you to keep improving, but not really. And, oh, you're supposed to be the Chief Inspiration Officer for all these people when you may not be feeling it yourself (in those hidden, secret conversations inside your head.) What's up with that?
What the world needs now is LOVE. Leaders for Our Vital Evolution. What each conscious leader needs is upgraded access to the true source of an infinite, unconditional, fierce Love (illuminating older conditioning messing with your inner operating system) that dissolves lifetimes of accumulated “scar tissue” covering up your true essence and finally unleashes your genuine genius to come out to play.
I sense that there are some of us that are a new breed of integrative “hybrids,” (left brain-right brain, inner spirit-outer success) emerging now for a new paradigm of leadership and what wants to create a new future. My role is to see you differently than maybe anyone else has, and champion you... to know that you are not alone, and do not dare settle for less than liberating the real you. We can absolutely do this! And it takes courage, a balance of patience and perseverance and different kind of support system.
