Meet Marianne.
Brilliant. Hilarious. Awesomesauce. And so engaging you'll forget to eat your snacks.
25,000 people trained. 48 states. Eastern Europe. Fortune 500 companies. Federal agencies. Native nations. Banks. Hospitals.
She lectures at the University of Kansas. Teaching Business Ethics to undergrads at a Big 12 school. Because the next generation of leaders needs someone who's actually been in the room.
She's spoken internationally. Keynotes in Belgrade and Zagreb. Because bad leadership isn't just an American problem.
She has a TEDx talk. "That's Ridiculous." Look it up.
She built an AI. Evie. A conversation simulator for managers who are tired of winging it. Because Marianne ran out of hours in the day and built a version of herself that never does.
She wrote two books. Out Is Through — for navigating the hard stuff. Safekeeping — coming fall 2026, for building workplaces people don't have to survive.
She created FearLess. A program on the science of fear delivered to banks, tech conferences, chambers of commerce, and women's networks across the country.
She built a leadership development program for the Nebraska Department of Parole. A year-long program for officers in one of the most high-stress jobs that exists. 100% completion rate.
Ranked #3 in the nation. SkillPath — one of the largest training organizations in the world — put her there. That's not a self-reported stat. That's the industry saying she's the real deal.
