“I was first introduced to Marilyn two years ago at a brainstorming off-site with the Integrated Marketing Teams. Marilyn was leading the session and I was truly impressed with her ability to connect and lead a group of over 125 people. I still use takeaways from that off-site in my work today. Marilyn has an uncanny ability to adjust her style in order to connect with a variety of professionals as well as continue to engage them in her teachings. I would not hesitate to use her again.”

"While her BigStorming® process is unique, it is actually rooted in science, which is what makes it effective. But truly, the secret sauce is Marilyn; she brings these techniques to life in a manner that is hard to duplicate. In addition, she has made herself available to the team whenever needed for a phone call to help prep for an important brainstorming session. Her reputation with us and throughout the Viacom family is impeccable. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of business-building ideas… which is all of us, quite frankly."
