Marcia Hyatt is so skilled as a coach that I forgot fear during our sessions. I forgot fear and imagined solutions and possibilities that stay with me today. I think of her as one of my career’s best friends.

My retreat began with the first phone call with Marcia, and her initial questions set in motion a powerful journey of discovery. The retreat environment is not only welcoming and comfortable, it is ideal space for transformation to occur. Marcia is a gifted coach and guide for those seeking a breakthrough.

To work with Marcia is to witness authenticity in action — a congruence between inner and outer selves. Using provocative questions and reflective space, she models a Socratic approach to teaching and learning that makes her an exceptional teacher/guide.

Marcia was my guide into being a ‘real adult.’ She opened my eyes to amazing possibilities in my life and supported me to get there. Her calm and loving demeanor was like a light in a storm for me. I will be forever grateful for the contribution she made to my happiness and fulfillment in life.

Marcia Hyatt’ s real business world experience along with her natural ability to read a roomful of people and connect with what is important to them makes for a powerful combination as a facilitator of learning. Her examples of real life scenarios help to illuminate the subject matter so that participants can relate to the learning at a deeper level and begin to internalize the messages and models.

Working with her has been a springboard for the next phase of my life, energized me, and helped me know ‘this is what I want to do.’ Marcia is good at bringing out the best in you, pushing you, and holding your feet to the fire when needed. She really is a partner in wanting and bringing out the best in her clients. It was exactly what I needed and asked for. She’s very good at seeing the big picture, but she’s also great at tactically getting things done.

She considers the whole person in an integrative coaching model that honors work and non-work passions. Before working with Marcia, I felt trapped by my successes at work, and also felt guilty about feeling that way. Now I feel excited and joyful about pursuing options that contribute even more richly to both my personal mission and the mission of my employer. Marcia helped me find my true voice.

Marcia provided me with a meaningful exploration of the enneagram through her adept and compassionate questioning.  I appreciated the exploratory approach. Marcia’s ability to mirror back to me the deeper feelings that I was not able to fully express at the time and her reminders to be aware of my somatic responses at certain points (and working with that) was a true gift. I am deeply grateful.

The retreat and follow-up coaching truly made a positive influence on my professional life and helped me be the kind of leader I want to be.

It would be hard to overstate the impact of Marcia’s coaching on my life. She listened carefully to me and heard things I hadn’t realized I was saying. By asking powerful questions, she helped me see them too. What she helped me see is the potential for more clearly identifying, and then fully embracing, the directions I long to go in both my career and in my life.
