Testimonials

"I would recommend Marion  to anyone without hesitation. She is enthusiastic, committed; understanding and her qualities are infectious.  Marion has her feet on the ground and an eye to the heavens. She doesn't tell you glibly that anything you want is possible - she listens carefully to where you would ideally like to be and helps you find ways to achieve this in practical and realistic steps.

In working with Marion one of the most important things I learned was to achieve balance in my life. I think that it is easy to get focussed on one particular goal, failing to realise that everything else is slipping until it reaches a crisis point.

I also learned that goals I was putting off because they seemed so huge as to be overwhelming could be made more manageable and enjoyable if thought about in stages.

Marion  will get you motivated to do those things you've always wanted to do but never knew how to start. She'll find time that you thought you didn't have, practical and realistic ways to use that time to best achieve your goals, while renewing an enthusiasm you thought was lost.

In the past I have had a tendency to be a bit of a workaholic, which sometimes meant that setting goals could seem like one more thing to do. However, more than anything, as much as I can enjoy goals I've reached, Marion taught me how I can also enjoy the process of achieving them. Sometimes I can get so overwhelmed with things to do that life can appear like a treadmill. I was surprised to find that life-coaching isn't about giving you yet more tasks to do. Marion helped me to see past the never-ending to do lists - life is a journey to be enjoyed and I feel richer and brighter for having Marion along for part of the ride."

"Marion is just what you need if you are struggling with goals, feeling that life is a an up- hill battle or need some clarity on your visions. My own experience was getting lost in a difficult time personally and professionally and not being able to see my own way out.

Marion allowed me to discuss ideas, help clarify my goals and find the answers for myself. Marion has helped me access my own emotional toolkit which means that not only was she a sounding board, a motivating voice and a sympathetic ear when I needed one she has set me up to be able to deal with anything life throws at me in a more positive and helpful manner. Long gone are my black clouds- it may occasionally rain but with Marion 's support and expertise to help me realise, I know I will never drown.

Two really key areas for me when I contemplated life coaching were 'Would it be effective' and 'Would it make a lasting difference?'. Having come out of the other side more positive, more confident and more capable, I can wholeheartedly shout at the top of my voice to you yes it does. And it's not about going out and hugging a tree, just in case you're worried."

"Marion is a natural coach. She is able to see the innate strength in her clients, even when they are struggling to see it for themselves. She is very intuitive -and appears to have a natural flair for awakening unleashed potential. There is a powerful quality to Marion's Coaching - her manner is a curiously effective combination of gentle listening and challenging questioning. Her commitment is absolute and this is reflected in the way she works. The world needs more coaches like Marion".

"Marion is the most lovely, warm, kind & empathetic person you could ever meet. She makes you feel important & special. 

Her listening skills are a key strength, with her whole focus on you during a conversation. She makes no assumptions & seeks to understand with no judgements. She is an incredibly positive person who is very encouraging & creates a "can do attitude" . She always follows up on conversations to provide support to drive an idea/conversation into reality.

Marion has a real compassion for people, with her drive being to help & support whilst also getting you to think!! Her questioning skills really probe, with the impact being one of realisation & motivation. Marion has dispelled any fears that I might have had previously regarding my career. Her suggestions are not forced with a real pragmatism that spurs you to action. I always felt energised after a session with Marion & keen to do something different.

I would trust Marion 100% and know she has been an important part of my career decisions in the last few months."
Gaynor Jones - Performance Coach GSK

"What a breath of fresh air! Marion has an enthusiasm and can-do attitude that is truly infectious. I must say I was a bit sceptical about life coaching - probably because it's new. Over the few weeks I have known Marion she has supported me in a structured way to identify and achieve the goals that are important to me. She has also given me the time to look at what I do with my time and how to manage it more effectively - taking into account all aspects of my life, not just work. I feel I have moved on leaps and bounds in the short time that I have known Marion. I would recommend life coaching to anyone - this stuff really works."
Chris Senior - Social Worker Scotland

"Marion Anderson's strong energy and commitment is matched by the respect and care that she shows to her clients.  I found her energy inspiring, and working with her was both enjoyable and challenging at the same time.  It was precisely what I needed in order to move my life goals forward."
