Executive Mentor, Team Consultant & Peak Life Strategist
Hi, I am Marianna Guenther and I give executive women leaders and teams tools that they need to accelerate their success and still have a life and do what it is that they love. The biggest apprehension that women leaders have is they think if they “go for it” in their career, the other areas of their life will suffer. They feel like they’ve invested so much time and energy to become a success in their professional life and often times they are faced with, what seems, harsh reality that they may not be able to have successful career and still have a life… create the life enjoying what it is that they love. There is a huge misconception that if a person is successful in their career there just isn’t enough time for anything else and they need to make tough choices and sacrifices and that’s just not true. If you want to succeed, you have to understand how to get clarity, align your goals with purpose and live in a flow. You have to learn how to fit all puzzle pieces together. I get it, I've been there... type A personality MBA, I worked in Corporate Finance for over 20 years until I had an “aha” moment… it was one late evening when I worked with my team on a project late in my office… and I totally forgot to make it at my son’s school orientation that evening… I broke a promise to my son and I knew then that I wouldn’t remember what I was working on with my team late in my office that night but I knew I would remember a promise I broke… I remember breaking out crying in front of my employees… and it was at that moment that I realized the impact of my career had on my life. And that’s what inspired me to figure out, first for myself, and later as a mentor to executive women leaders so they didn’t have to figure it all out by trial and error. I developed a 12-step strategy guide on how to be successful and still have a balanced life so we all can continue enjoying the things in our lives that matter and do what it is that we love.
