“I experienced Marja as a very impactful change manager and business coach with an excellent ability to balance the often complex interests of various stakeholders in large multinational projects. She’s great at assisting budget responsible leaders to achieve increased efficiency and profitability in their departments. She does this by helping them to build amazing teams and to streamline various systems and processes.

She stays objective and by doing so is a valuable resource for business owners and leaders to brainstorm and reflect on situations that are often challenging.
I would hire Marja without a doubt, for any new international Change project” August 17, 2010

Gbenga Ogunjimi, Founder/CEO, Landmark Internship International (Nigeria)

“When I hired Marja at NetApp, I had two main objectives for her in mind: Build a team of the CSRs in Europe and make sure that that team is embedded into the global CSR community and into the European Global Support Center organization. Marja proved to be the perfect person to do both. She had quickly an understanding of the issues and challenges in the team and was able to apply her excellent coaching and development skills to indeed make a team of the group. The team showed collaboration and "help each other" mentality rather than the animosity it displayed before. Also in making sure that the team was properly embedded in the global and European organizations, Marja achieved great results. My own assessment of Marja's success is that she is able to balance between focusing on people and their personal development, the business environment, the customers' interests and the company of course. And showing agility in hovering between these different levels. Last but not least - Marja is a great person to work with and brings something extra to the teams she is working with and I could highly recommend her as corporate team and personal development coach.” June, 2010

Great Results, High Integrity, Creative! “When your mind is racing and your focus is everywhere it feels like nothing make sense. Marja helped me to define my focus areas. All three areas are important to the success of my career but in different ways. Thanks for helping me so far and I look forward to the future sessions. Thanks” May, 2010

“Marja has been a pleasure to work with - she is down-to-earth, responsive and resourceful, definitely someone I would recommend as a coach. She reads people well, is insightful, has broad perspective, has global experience, and is very personable - she genuinely desires to help people in their growth and has a strong record of success.” May, 2010

“Marja is an excellent coach and administrator of her business. Not only does she excel in her career and interests, but she really cares about her clients on a personal level.” May, 2010

“The time I worked with Marja I've experienced Marja as I bright personality with indept knowledge and a real interest in you as a person. She's is very pleasant to work with a good company to socialize.” May, 2010

Marja, it was fantastic working with you. Thank you for believing in me and for all your patience and support through often turbulent times.
You helped our team tremendously and you created a fun, relaxing and confidential environment for me to grow in.
Your sincerity, integrity and focus made it very easy for me to relate to you and open up to you.
You showed me how to get into a happy space. Thank you!

Dear Marja, Thanks for your patience, encouragement and support during my studies and quest for finding my life purpose. Thanks also for believing in me and helping me to believe in myself. I won’t settle for anything less than the best anymore. You are a true inspiration and example of walking your talk.

Dear Marja , When we met, I was a very insecure and lost individual. Today I am a successful assistant manager at a big international consultancy company. You showed me how the secret to success and happiness lies within me and that I can achieve anything if I believe I can. Your unique, objective and non-judgmental perspective of things made a real difference in my life and the way I look at things now. My life is great!  Thank you for caring and pushing me…. Whether you want to make some small or major changes in your life, Marja comes highly recommended as a coach to help, support and encourage you on your journey!

“When I met Marja, I was stuck in the same job in a very dysfunctional team for 5 years. I just knew that there was more to it and that I had more talents, but I wasn’t sure how to exploit them or how to reach my full potential. I was stuck in a rut.

Marja’s enthusiasm and unwavering belief in me and my team was contagious. She worked with all of us and the positive results that we saw in terms of productiveness, not to mention team spirit, was amazing, especially given the fact that we were an international team from various different countries and vast cultural differences.

Through her support, perseverance and balance, she brought balance in our broken team and got us productive again, working like a well oiled engine. She treats everyone with respect and integrity.

Through her focused work and support of me and our company’s management team, I made outstanding career progression. I moved on to a senior project management position in a big international IT company and earn more money now.

She helped me to set clear goals, encouraged me to keep going for what I wanted and challenged me to go for greater heights.

She creates a safe, fun, ethical and confidential atmosphere to work in, listens to you and guides you with focus and without judgement.
She deeply cares about the people she works with, whether it is on professional or personal level, she is always there for you, encouraging you when the going gets tough and celebrating when you make breakthroughs.

Do you need to make a personal or professional change in your own life or your company and want a coach that will guide, encourage, support and challenge you, then Marja comes highly recommended!”
