“I have been an entrepreneur (self employed) for most of my working life, almost 30 years. I consider myself a very lucky person, I LOVE what do as much as I did when I started my business. Maybe more. Despite my enthusiasm for what I do, about a year ago I started to struggle with promoting myself and my work. All of my promotional material felt old and tired. When people asked me what I did for work, I didn’t want to tell them. Although other people didn’t seem to notice my frustration, I felt bored and stuck with my own words. That’s when I was connected with Bonnie, and honestly, it was just in the NICK OF TIME! Through a series of one-on-one sessions and thoughtful homework assignments, Bonnie drew out of me a renewed and deeper sense of myself and my work. One that is consistent with who I am today, thirty years later. With new ways to share who I am and what I do … I feel rejuvenated and re-inspired to continue my work for the next thirty years! I highly recommend Bonnie and her process of getting you where you want to go!” -Tricia Bennett, |

“My first experience with Bonnie was when I attended her workshop “Selling From Your Comfort Zone.” Her approach towards educating the group was inspirational. I found the workshop so amazing that I signed up to attend for a 2nd time and I was not disappointed. Her knowledge in sales, networking and personal development continually surpass my expectations. Bonnie’s ability to create successful group dynamics makes sharing with other participants feel natural and comfortable. I gained the confidence needed to move forward, built a larger network and hired her to personally coach me in other areas to develop my business. I highly recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for an opportunity to work with an experienced professional. Her dedication towards creating successful business strategies will inspire you to look outside your comfort zone and see possibilities. It is worth your time to attend one of her workshops or hire her for personal one on one coaching I promise you won’t be disappointed.” -Marcy Rubin, CPC, LLP, |

“Thank you for your wonderful presentation to Entrepreneurial Women’s Network on Ditch the Pitch. A New Approach to Self-Promotion. I cannot even begin to count how many women came up to me after your fabulous presentation to tell me that your suggestions have totally changed the way they will now present themselves to others. Thanks to you they were inspired to change their pitch and knew how to do so based on the exercises in your presentation. No more boring introductions for those of us lucky enough to attend your workshop.” -Scarlett DeBease, |

“I had the pleasure of attending one of Bonnie Marcus’ workshops last fall – Selling in Your Comfort Zone. “Selling” is a word that can strike fear in the heart of many a coach, yet Bonnie takes an approach that completely shifts our common perception of selling and turns it into a positive experience. Her warm and confident style coupled with a practical step-by-step process provided the participants with a sense that what had felt overwhelming upon arrival was actually easier than anticipated. This is the first sales workshop I’ve attended that made the process of becoming great at sales feel effortless.” -Sherry Dutra, |

“Bonnie is a gifted, dynamic and highly skilled coach. Not only has she helped me to launch my life coaching and Laughter Yoga business, but she has been pivotal in propelling it to the level of success I desire. With both her coaching and her phenomenal workshop, Selling From Your Comfort Zone, I was able to target my niche audience and gain the confidence needed to understand that I can market my business authentically. Her approach is results-oriented with an eye towards hurdling what is holding her clients back, so in addition to one’s vision/goal being attained, it is also sustained. I cannot recommend Bonnie highly enough to anyone seeking to start or grow their business or career. Katie West, |

“Recently I needed help preparing for an interview for a senior level corporate position after being out of the workforce for 8 years. How was I going to sort through my 20+ years of experience, bridge the gap from the last several years, and then communicate my talents and value (in one hour) well enough to be considered for candidacy? After far too much procrastination I called Bonnie Marcus. Hands down that was the best thing I’ve done in 20 years! In only two 1-hour sessions, Bonnie led me through a process to organize my key qualities and relevant experiences, taught me how to think of them in terms of being beneficial to the position and company, and most importantly, through role-playing and inquisition prepared me to concisely articulate them during the interview. I wasn’t nervous. I was excited and confident. I actually enjoyed every second of the interview with the President & CEO the company. With great pride and endless gratitude to Bonnie, I have one more final interview and expect to land the job. I was prepared!” - Lori J. Pinard, Banking Executive |

“I recently worked with Bonnie for a little over a year, and I’m so glad I did. Bonnie is professional, smart, effective, and a lot of fun. Her years of business and coaching experience are evident in her work. I had just started my career in consulting when I began working with Bonnie, and her coaching techniques quickly taught me things it would have taken years to figure out on my own. She helped me tackle issues related to self-promotion, setting and achieving career goals, and navigating the corporate world. I plan to stay in touch with her as my career unfolds, and I would recommend that others do the same!” - Katherine Smith, Consultant |

“As a start-up business owner, I was overwhelmed with too many priorities, and I was stuck – buried in details instead of moving forward with my vision. I knew I needed outside perspective, so I reached out to Bonnie. She’s calm, insightful and pragmatic, and helped me zero in with laser-like focus on my top priority right now. I wanted focus, a boost of confidence, and renewed energy, and that’s exactly what I got. Plus, the process Bonnie took me through helped me release an overload of stress and anxiety. I feel calm, centered, and directed. And already a couple of exciting new opportunities have shown up for me. This is huge! Thank you, Bonnie.” Louise Holmes |
