The Human Behind Work Warrior
MEET
MARIANNE.
Brilliant. Hilarious. Awesomesauce. And so engaging you'll forget to eat your snacks.
She's refreshing and candid and honest — while at the same time, pushing you.— A client, somewhere between inspired and uncomfortable
Marianne has trained over 20,000 people in nearly every state — and eastern Europe. She's recognized as one of the top trainers in America, and in 2013 she founded Work Warrior, a training organization built on one belief: people deserve workplaces that don't break them.
Before going independent, Marianne spent over a decade in corporate America in leadership and management roles. She left a toxic workplace, and instead of just surviving it — she built something from it. Work Warrior exists because of that experience.
In 2010 she earned her Master's in Organizational Development from Avila University. She's also a certified professional coach in business, entrepreneurship, spirituality, life purpose, emotional intelligence, and stress management.
She lectures at the University of Kansas. She has a TEDx talk. She wrote a workbook. And she built an AI. Not bad for a girl from Kansas City.
