Awesome program for women. Marsha brings a wealth of knowledge from her own experience as well as a variety of well-known sources to enrich and empower women in a loving and respectful learning environment. Graduating from her program brings great leadership talent back into the organization. Love that I had the opportunity to attend her Power of Self Session 9. Her work makes a difference in all our lives and the people we touch. Thanks Marsha
I highly recommend Marsha Clark & Associates for leadership training, professional development and coaching. I can truly say that I have been transformed after being poured into by Marsha. She teaches, directs and encourages women in a way that I did not even know I needed. Since being a part of her program, I and several of my classmates have received promotions in our workplaces and more importantly, we have grown to become better leaders. Marsha Clark and her lessons have changed the lives and trajectories of many leaders and I am forever grateful to have benefited from her wisdom.
I am so very thankful to have been a participant in Marsha Clarks 9-month Power of Self program. This program gave me several tools for personal and professional development, the space I needed to make that growth happen, and a network of like-minded women who have supported me from day one. I also gained a deeper understanding of the person I am and a stronger concept of what I want to accomplish in my life. I readily endorse Marsha Clark and Associates and the work they do to enable men and women to maximize their growth and opportunities.
Marsha Clark and her staff at Marsha Clark & Associates have been a steadfast, true and inspiring force in my life for over 20 years. Focusing on providing personal and professional development for leaders through top-notch training, facilitation, keynote speaking and executive coaching, this organization delivers extraordinary results. Marsha and her staff are the best I know at creating and sustaining a learning environment which encourages and inspires others to do and be their best, most authentic selves. Marsha has supported and inspired me on my journey toward being a positive, powerful leader and small business owner. With what I have learned from and through Marsha and her staff, I am not just a better, stronger and more effective leader. I am also more kind, more direct with speaking from my heart, more compassionate and more comfortable working with diversity, conflict and change. My life is definitely better because of my association with Marsha and all of the wonderful people who work for and with her. I am endlessly thankful to count myself as a graduate of Marshas Power of Self program. If youre looking for high-quality coaching, training, facilitation or a keynote speaker, I highly recommend working with Marsha and her associates.
Marsha developed and delivered a program designed to give a female perspective in the professional work environment. Her program is based on compiling research by others and personal experience. She had a great balance of theoretical and practical content that was designed to help the female attendees grow and develop into their full potential. A superb example of women supporting women and the importance of male allies.
I was privileged to participate in the Power of Self Program, Class 6. It was the most life changing event or my life. The skills I learned and the connections I made were essential in my personal growth and especially in my professional growth While going through this year long program I had no idea the impact that each module would have on me. Marshas generosity and insight continue to inspire me. I am grateful for the way she has helped me and continues influencing women every day. Thank you Marsha!
By far the most impactful leadership development training Ive received, both professionally and personally. Marshas curation of content - weaving psychology, research and her 30+ years of professional experience is the best I have seen yet. I highly recommend Marsha Clark & Associates for any organization, and for those that are looking to dig deep and discover the their true leader within.
Marsha Clarks leadership programs for women have been a positive force for change for more than 20 years. I have personally spoken to many women who feel more empowered and skilled as leaders after attending her programs. In fact, I have seen many of these women go on to get promotions, start businesses and non-profits and make a big impact in their organizations and communities after attending her programs. I highly recommend the work of Marsha Clark.
Impactful training, development, and coaching that helps individuals truly connect with what they want and how to get it. I highly recommend Marsha Clark & Associates to everyone I can and have recruited and referred several women to her programs. The results have been outstanding.
It’s hard to choose which topic in the Power of Self is the most relevant and useful for my business, professional, and community relationships. Each session has its own unique a-ha’s and key concepts and tools that I continue to apply in a weekly (if not daily) basis. Life-changing lessons for sure! Thank you Marsha for creating a program that allowed me to fully own my personal power!
I was in the inaugural class of The Power of Self. This experience prepared me for advanced leadership roles and quite frankly helped me become a better overall human. I gained so many tools to include learning how I think and solve problems to better harness my natural talents. As importantly, I learned how to work with other types of thinkers to bring together our strengths and balance our challenges. MC&A truly gave me foundational and next level skills that made a difference in my life. Plus for almost the last twenty years, I have enjoyed an amazing treasure: a core network of women with whom I can ask questions, share challenges, voice dreams, and laugh. Truly one of my lifes great experiences.
I am forever grateful to Marsha Clark and Associates for the pivotal learning opportunities offered. Marsha provided me knowledge, encouragement and support which has empowered me to become a better leader and a better person! And the growth and empowerment continue to positively impact me today.
I was a Power of Self participant over 10 years ago and it was life changing for me. In the program I learned how to step into my gifts and not apologize for my leadership style. It also taught me about the impact I have as a leader and the responsibility I have to myself and other women as a trailblazer. Most importantly, the program emphasizes to women, that they have a RIGHT to be in the room and at the table. We have power and we are free choose when and where to use it. We give ourselves the permission. Now, As a coach in the program I have the privilege to guide women and see their lives transformed as mine was, helping them gain confidence and control, not only of their professional lives, but of their personal lives as well. If you have the chance to take one of Marshas leadership programs, RUN! do not walk, to sign up. You wont regret it
Marsha Clarks Power of Self Course is fantastic. I learned so many tools to advance my personal career but also now have programs to support my high performing teams. My organization continues to place women in the course because they see results. I am proud to support Marsha Clarks Power of Self program and highly recommend it for any organization looking to move their business forward.
I am a proud graduate of Marshas program the Power of Self. The program gave me the tools, clarity and confidence to become the powerful leader I am today. Marshas content is backed by research and experience and I use the concepts I learned to this day. I wholeheartedly recommend Marsha Clark & Associates!
I have had the privilege of participating in the year long women’s leadership development program that Marsha delivers and I have also served under her leadership.I know of no other program that provides a full gamut of topics, experts in their field, tools, discussion, exercises, learning groups, coaching and support. Because the program provides a comprehensive learning environment, most of what I have learned has become second nature and apart of my life.I have also developed life long friends who encourage and support me through challenging times as well as celebrate victories.I can’t imagine not having the skills I’ve gained to maneuver through work and life nor having the community to ‘do’ life.Marsha, her leadership and her programs are a gift that have changed my life and my community. I will forever be grateful.Giving back is an important aspect of the program. I am working with women in prison and using many of the learnings and tools to help women gain back their power and move forward with dignity and respect.
I am a graduate of Marsha’s Power of Self program. I’ve done many professional development classes and programs, and Marsha’s was undoubtedly the most impactful and transformative for me. I learned so much and was given the tools I need to achieve at a higher level. I am a better woman and leader because of Marsha and this program. I cannot recommend Marsha Clark and Associates any more thoroughly.
I highly recommend Marsha Clark and her leadership programs. Her unwavering support, knowledge, and empowering spirit continue to positively impact me today.
Thank you Marsha and team for the gift of Power of Self. As a graduate of this program the impact has been immeasurable. A transformational experience that changed my perspective, heart and purpose.
Marsha L. Clarks Power of Self course has been transformative for myself and several other members of Lumin Educations leadership team. We have made a point of sending someone to the training every year since 2013 and continue to find it a powerful tool in developing our leaders. Based on our experience at the training, we hired Marsha to work with our team in strategic planning. I give Marsha my highest recommendation as a leadership coach and consultant.
Marsha has done more for helping women leaders find their voice and stand in their power than most anyone in Dallas. We are lucky to have her!
I took the time to reach out to Marsha about her company after reading the HuffPost article about Ernst & Youngs training. I initially was upset, but Marsha very respectfully responded to explain her perspectives to me. While much of the the context can be misinterpreted, her mind and mission are in the right place and her goals are to help women succeed and be equals in business.
As a graduate of the program, the Power of Self Leadership program is a holistic approach to gain a stronger-better understanding of our whole and true selves - which has helped me in every part of my life. The tools I learned in PoS continue to support my growth as I move into different seasons of my life. I wish everyone I knew had the opportunity to attend Marsha Clark & Associates programs!
I have over 25 years of experience in the corporate world within companies ranging from the Global Fortune 50 to early stage startups as well as training as a facilitator and executive coach from a wide range of professionals committed to transformational work. Without question, one of the most profound and impactful experiences I have had through this journey is when I participated in Marsha L. Clark’s Power of Self (POS) program. As a POS graduate, I can say without hesitation that my experience was nothing short of extraordinary. POS is one of those rare experiential learning treasures that actually inspire real action and lasting change both personally and professionally. The program structure fosters enhanced self-awareness, continual feedback and coaching, skills development, perspective shifts and a framework for women to hone a more powerful way of functioning, being and leading in the world of business and nonprofits, and at home. Marsha is a powerful, gifted, insightful, skillful, truly remarkable individual and an example for both women and men. She is one of the most wise, strong, brilliant women I have ever met. I highly recommend Marsha as a coach, consultant, trainer, facilitator and/or speaker. She is a true gem and anyone who has the opportunity to meet her and/or learn from her is blessed.
I couldnt recommend Marsha Clark & Associates more highly!Having recently retired from 38 years as a successful woman financial advisor at a major brokerage firm, I availed myself of the excellent training programs which were offered through my career because continuing to grow personally and professionally is a core value. Of the many excellent programs in which I participated, none of them came close to providing the value and positive life changes I derived from the Power of Self program.The Power of Self Program was created by Marsha Clark as part of her commitment to women helping women. We learned about ourselves and how we relate to ourselves, others, and those with whom we work. We were given concrete tools to use immediately for being more direct, clear and more effective in our communications so we could do better. We learned how to use the “Magic Formula” for having difficult conversations in a nonthreatening and direct way.We learned how to find our power within ourselves and to surround ourselves with people who to support and accept us rather than toxic people who pull us down with them. We learned that love and support are essential in our lives in order to keep moving forward and fulfill our dreams and goals. We learned that leadership begins with leading and managing ourselves well. We learned how often we make assumptions and to begin to ask ourselves “What else could be true?” instead of assuming the worst. That one tool has been so powerful in my life as a way of staying in the present and not wasting energy trying to predict the future.One of the most important lessons I learned is that in order to move forward, I must first accept what is so right now rather than what I wish it was. “It is what it is.” If we’re not dealing in reality, we can’t move forward. Then we went about learning how to empower ourselves to work with “what is”. Along the way, we continued to learn about ourselves with the help of various assessments. The better we knew ourselves, the more we could empower ourselves with the new information we were learning. Such a powerful combination for growing as people and professionals.One of the best aspects of the Power of Self Program is that its only agenda was empowering women. The complete focus was upon helping us acknowledge “what is” in our work environments, understand ourselves within that environment, learn how to be more effective, clear and direct, and to experience the power of women helping women.I can’t end this comment without acknowledging Marsha Clark for the geometric change she has made to the planet through this program. In offering this class for 20 years, most of her students made huge positive career and life changes fairly quickly as a result and continue to grow over time. The students haven gone on to affect each of the people with whom they come in contact with since going through the program. These effects will be passed on to generations of women and Marsha’s work will live on forever. Thanks to Marsha, we all know better so we are all doing better.
One of my favorite mentors went through the Power of Self program when she was 50 and a senior executive at Texas Instruments, and told me it was a powerful, life-changing, leadership-enhancing experience. She recommended I go through it when I was 39 and working in the nonprofit sector. I graduated from the program when I was 40, and it was as equally relevant and powerful to me as she had described, though our ages and career paths were different, and as similarly powerful as it was Thear Suzuki, who went through the program at 27, much earlier in her career. It is a rare program that can meet so many people exactly where they are, and further develop them into the next-level leadership version of themselves that they are meant to be.From the program I learned how to employ techniques to expand my perspectives on things, admit what I dont know, and increase my overall empathy for others and their own personal wrestlings in the workplace. I also learned techniques for maintaining more awareness of how I show up in the world, things to consider related to how I can be perceived by others, and tools for better managing myself as a leader.I would not be who I am today without the program, and I am thankful that the offerings continue today to equip leaders young and old to become better leaders each and every day, from each persons own personal circle of influence and control. I recommend this program without reservation and with 5 out of 5 stars to anyone considering it.
Marsha is an excellent teacher and coach and has made a profound and measurable impact on my life and my organization. Marsha’s program taught me to be an authentic, empowered leader that speaks truth to power and operates with intentionality. She taught me to use my voice, support and mentor other women in my organization and be an upstander. At our sessions, I learned to strategically use tools to handle situations with colleagues and clients - whether its managing through change, building trust on a team, running an effective meeting or handling obstacles. I learned better ways to provide feedback to the people I manage so that our team can achieve its goals and my team members can grow. I learned how to advocate for myself when it came to compensation. I learned how to draw boundaries so that my energy is laser-focused on the outcomes that matter to me professionally and personally. Marsha’s one-on-one coaching helped me identify specific situations that I was struggling with and she gave me specific tools to use to approach them. This has all translated into me being a more productive, effective leader. I’ve also been able to take what I’ve learned through Marsha and teach it to my teams – thereby amplifying the effect of being in her class. I wholeheartedly recommend Marsha to anyone who wants to hone valuable leadership skills and learn tangible ways to improve your professional (and personal) life.
