“I want to thank you for presenting your program to us last night. Even though I have worked on much of what you presented I was very blessed to finally have both a visual and easily remembered acronym to help me make it part of my daily life. You accomplished your goal of finally taking the information off the shelf and helping me make it an active part of my daily life. You touched many lives in the hour you spent with us.”

“Marty was invited as our guest speaker to share her message with New Landings. I had the pleasure to attend and hear Marty present “Get Out of B.E.D.” She is a wonderful orator who engages her audience with passion and enthusiasm. Her message of empowerment resonated with many. I highly recommend Marty to any organization looking to promote an atmosphere of encouragement and personal accountability. Her message is relevant and needed in these challenging times we face.”

“Marty, after working with you for a short time I realized that my happiness and achievements would only be limited by me and my relationships and the power that created through accountability and integrity. This January I will try to complete the purchase of (my business in Arizona). During 2009 it was easy to point fingers to all the reasons it would fail. The recession, the credit crunch, even the future of our industry all but paralyzed me. Despite decreased sales we found ways to make this our second most profitable year ever. I reached out to people I trust and we put the train on the tracks. In many respects my advisors acted as coaches and partners. This all just might turn out to be my professional dream (own what I helped to build).
Thank you very much the lessons you teach I try to practice every day!”

“Marty worked with my Leadership Team at Sheffield Place in the Fall of 2009. With her help, we drafted the action steps in response to our Strategic Plan.

“Our organization’s strategic plan created the goals but not the actions to achieve the goals. For six successive Mondays, Marty lead our leadership team through discussions about the plan. She challenged us to set priorities and create realistic deadlines. Through her efforts we have a road map to 2012. Thank you, Marty! — And, I actually miss Mondays with Marty. Our 4-hour sessions were motivating and productive. She took us from concept to output.”

“I’ve had the opportunity to see many facilitators in action, and Marty Stanley is top in her field. In a recent facilitation, she knew the right questions to ask to engage the group, she handled interruptions efficiently, and dealt with each interrupter with respect. The end result was a meeting that truly served all who attended and was worth the time invested. If you have a group that is in need of facilitation exercises, I would wholeheartedly recommend that you bring in Marty for the process.”
Marian Madonia, CSP, Vice President, Employee Engagement & Development

You will love working with her.”

Her guidance is always spot on, and she is an absolute delight to work with.”
