Marilyn O'Hearne, MCC
Marilyn O'Hearne's (www.marilynoh.com) coaching clients report increased PEP in their work (Performance/Effectiveness/Profitability) and life (Peace/Energy/Prosperity). They achieve it by renewing and creatively developing their unique gifts and abilities through Marilyn's coaching.

She has lived in Spain and Brazil.
A leader herself, Marilyn enjoys practicing continual learning and development. Her gentle strength, warmth, humor, integrity, and excellent communication skills promote the trust required for producing sustained results in coaching and her other work. Marilyn authored the Renewing Your Spirit workbook which includes peaceful photographic images, and leads Renewing Your Spirit retreats. She models a balanced life.
