Welcome!

I hope you enjoy the resources I've added to my website. It's a work in progress, so check back periodically for updated information. I've spent the past two years writing Recession or Plenty: 7 Steps to Success in Business & in Life which I initially intended to be a concise reference book for leaders, and after the financial crisis became a handbook for anyone whose life is changing and needs to develop skills to guide themselves through a transition from being an employee to starting their own business. I have the proof of the book here, and after a few changes I expect the book to be published in February.

Because I'm a techie as well as a coach I've also made an effort to update my knowledge of current social media practices and interpret what's available for busy small business owners. My first version of the book didn't make it through my client beta testers. "It's great information but too much for one book. Make it a series of easy-to-read books" is what I heard! So I went back to the drawing board and I've written 3 of 5 books in the series which also should be available in February.

I love coaching people how to use social media. Let me know if you're interested in the social media courses I've put together for you:

"I am moved to provide the highest recommendation for Marilyn.

Marilyn recently managed a coaching engagement with four very senior executives in a 'Fortune 500' client of mine. She did a wonderful job of managing the work of coaches involved - and coordinating the project. The end result was positive, long-term change in behavior for the client executives - and a very positive experience for the coaches!

Along with her great technical job in developing my site, Marilyn has been a pleasure to work with.

She has shown the highest integrity and has handled a couple of tough situations in a very professional way."

Marshall Goldsmith, Founder, Marshall Goldsmith Partners, LLC

"Marilyn is a master of her trade. She organized and hosted Thought Leader interviews; she created an atmosphere of relaxed excitement and intellectual stimulation which everyone seemed to feel and respond to from the moment they arrived.

Marilyn McLeod is an example of pure ability in action."

"Thank you for helping us with Peers@Haas. Your contribution to the school has been extraordinary and you are making a real difference in the lives of our students!"

"There are coaches who will stir up your emotions, give you an assignment and make you feel as if you can accomplish anything, but when the work is in front of you, and the emotion is gone, you wonder where the power you felt went and you feel you are right back where you began. Not with Marilyn McLeod.

Marilyn is an excellent business coach, because she listens to you, your vision for your company and then with her expert business knowledge guides you to fruition. She will ask you the important business questions you may not have considered or overlooked because of the variety of actions you must complete. Her guidance, business acumen and insightful information sets you on a path from overwhelm to achievement and growth.

Today having a business coach is as important as having a business plan and having the right coach is the difference between cash poor and cash flow. Marilyn McLeod will work with you and assist you in creating a realistic strategy for development and success.

You leave Marilyn with greater clarity, tools for executing your plan, a strategy that works and your excitement grows with each step, because you are in a position of empowerment. You are beyond the vision, beyond the dream and into your life."

"Marilyn, your Peer Coaching Reference and Peer Coaching Overview are fantastic and I'm recommending that they be added to the Business Coaching Certificate program that I teach at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.   We need a component in the class on peer coaching and it would be perfect to share these documents with the students in these classes."

"Marilyn, I am so glad I made that first phone call to you.  What a treasure you are!  Every time we talk I am so excited about the direction my life is taking!"

Pam Barksdale

"If you have the chance to hire Marilyn, do yourself a favor and do it!

I have worked with Marilyn on several large projects: the gala launch of a new organizational partnership, a hurry-up web conversion project, the re-branding of a website, and the development and organization of a partnership project. I found her technical skills to be superb; whether the question was about how to convert video, how to change a flash movie or how to track response to Google ads, Marilyn knows how.

But then, so do a lot of tech consultants. What makes Marilyn so special is that her technical expertise comes bundled with superb interpersonal skills. She can help you think through both the technical and the human part of the problem, then help you implement the solution.

Best of all, she's a joy to have around as a colleague. She's not only happy to pitch in and get the job done, she does it with it humor and compassion."
