Programs

Private advisory, built around your real work.

Every program is one-on-one with Marina. No group classes, no recorded lessons. You bring the meetings, emails, and reviews from your actual job. She shows you what to change.

Where everyone starts

Bring one meeting that did not go the way you planned. Marina finds the exact moment you lost the room, and why. You leave with a one-page written plan.

  • One real meeting, taken apart together
  • The one thing holding you back, named
  • A written plan, emailed the same day
  • The $149 comes off any program you join within 14 days

Leave without a clear answer? Marina refunds the $149.

Most clients have their company pay.

Tech, biotech, and pharma companies set money aside for training. We give you the invoice, the W-9, and a one-page note for your manager. It usually takes one email.

What your company gets
Good to know

The small print, in plain words

Payment plans

Same total as paying in full. No extra fee. A plan changes when you pay, not what you owe.

Rescheduling

Move a session with 24 hours notice at no charge. Less than 24 hours counts as a session.

Confidentiality

Marina is an attorney. What you say in sessions stays in sessions. If your company pays, they receive a progress report on skills and goals, never on what you said.

Zoom or in person

Either. The office is at 300 S Main St, Suite 212, Holly Springs, NC. Most Triangle clients do a mix. Clients outside North Carolina meet on Zoom.

Not sure which one?

Start with the $149 session. Marina will tell you which program fits, or whether you need one at all.
