Testimonials

"Dr. Marilyn Puder-York is solutions oriented and experienced making her one of the most value added coaches I have encountered in my professional Human Resource experience. I have referred her to several of our senior executives over the years. The feedback has consistently been excellent. Marilyn has firsthand experience as a business practitioner as well as deep knowledge of/education in human behavior. With that, she effectively and simultaneously applies scientific and practical approaches.  Most coaches have one or the other and, as a result are too academic and out of touch or too light when it comes to how adults learn and manage stress.  She brings the best of both. Marilyn is a straight shooter with a strong sense of what her client can process in the moment.  She’s perceptive, relatable, with a practical approach delivering messages in a way that allows her client to hear it and act. She has a  knack for helping executives identify their areas for development and their  blind spots. The outcomes of her work" have  enhanced the executives’ leadership."
Jennifer Tarlow

"I’ve had the great pleasure to know Marilyn over the past two decades. She provided coaching to one of my senior leaders who truly benefited from her razor-sharp insights, delivered in a motivating and non-judgmental manner. I have since then recommended her to others and would not hesitate to engage her again if the opportunity arises. She has had great success in assisting people move up in their careers by helping them be more self-aware and providing them with the tools and guidance needed to navigate the corporate political landscape. She is warm, personable and has high emotional intelligence, and is terrific to work with."

"Throughout my corporate career leading talent management and leadership development functions, I turned to Dr. Marilyn Puder-York when I needed a coach to work with a valued senior executive who needed to change his/her behavior in order to continue succeeding. Marilyn's background differentiates her. She brings deep clinical perspective AND, because she was a corporate executive herself, she understands the "unwritten rules" of organizational life. Marilyn knows what it takes to thrive even in the most challenging circumstances. She speaks executives' language. She's a quick study, with a no-nonsense approach. She uses her laser-like insight to assess situations and individuals; then she guides her clients, providing practical advice, and achieves outcomes that benefit both the individual and the organization."
