At the time, Canfield was
talking about seeing yourself
differently; looking at your
self-concept. There is a
difference between the vision
of the self you have and the
ideal self that you would like
to grow into, and how you
bridge that gap.
“That is my work,” she thought.
Marilyn sought out Jack
Canfield, among many
other leaders of personal
development. When she
took his Self Esteem Trainer
Certification course in 2000,
he recognized her talent for
speaking and encouraged her
to join the National Speaker’s
Association. She took his
advice and quickly became a
chapter President. Because
of her mastery presentation
skills and the transformational
nature of her work, creating
what she calls “Suttle Shifts”
for breakthrough success,
Jack began inviting her
to speak on his stages. In
addition to her own work,
Marilyn has the highest level
certification Jack Canfield
offers to teach his success
principles. She includes it as
a training option through her
Metro-Detroit based training
company.
Before she ever became
a mom or became a
relationship-strengthening
coach, Marilyn had a degree
from the University of
Michigan and started out
as a contract programmer.
She had year-long contracts
with organizations like St.
Joseph Health Systems, GM
Proving Grounds, and the U
of M Hospital. She was on a
team that would design and
implement their software. It
was an analytical technical
field.
She eventually evolved
to help people be more
focused on soft skills
creation, developing more
energy, vitality, and selffulfillment. The focus of all of
Marilyn’s work now is culture
change around the customer
experience.
