"Supported me in moving forward."
"Our recent coaching session was a great reminder of how much coaches benefit from being coached themselves. Your coaching was so helpful in enabling me to gain clarity in a challenging situation.
"I have followed up by having several conversations with my colleague and, while not easy, it's been a relief to know I am doing what I need to do to be in integrity with myself and helpful to a friend and colleague as he grows.
"In the process, of course, I am learning tons about myself and the places I might make assumptions without consciously challenging myself. Thank you again for the great questions and clarity that have supported me in moving forward."
"Understanding beyond comprehension"
"Thanks for the great notes but most of all thanks for your unbelievable presence with me yesterday. It was an intense very in the moment time that provided a spiritual platform for which to perch as I am ready to take on what awaits for me now.
"My instinct about working with you at a deep level to reflect back to me in a way that I can begin to "unlock" is so right on. Thanks for being there and for your presence to really meet me where I am and have an understanding beyond comprehension. I am so excited to learn the depth and breath of what will unfold."

"Of the highest caliber"
"Stephanie Marisca is the real deal! I have had the great pleasure of working with Stephanie over the last six years in a multitude of professional capacities.
"She was my Coaching Instructor at iPEC Institute - phenomenal learning and fun; Private Coach to support my business development endeavors - always knows just the right question to facilitate movement and access wisdom; and Mentor Coach - Creator and Facilitator of the Coaches Cafe - the premier resource to receive coaching support, development and mentorship!
"I would recommend her to any coach who is serious about elevating their coaching skills and application, marketing and business development - her coaching, mentoring and colleagueship are of the highest caliber supplemented with the deepest dignity, care and respect for others."

"A trusted expert"
"I've had the professional and personal privilege of knowing and working with Stephanie for over 2 years now. When I went through my coach training school via iPEC, her wealth of coaching knowledge, dedication to the field, and sincere desire for me to succeed was such an important piece of my training. But more importantly, Stephanie's confidence, smarts and compassion enabled me to trust in my self more, both in coaching and in my day-to-day life.
"After a year of running my own successful coaching practice, I wanted to change gears into a new niche that had a lot of personal importance to to me: working with plus-sized women around body image and self-love. As much as the idea excited me, I wasn't quite clear on how to make the transition in an empowering way and I still had my own beliefs to sort out first.
"I worked with Stephanie privately and each time our call ended, my body, mind and spirit were filled with immense joy and confidence that I had exactly (and way more!) of what it takes to be a stellar coach in this area AND be more kind to myself along the way. Stephanie's not only an excellent coach, she's a community builder and through her passion for helping individuals and coaches alike, I feel that a trusted expert and valued peer is on my side."

"I'm so happy that my path led me to you."
"Thank you again for the great coaching session today! I did reach clarity in each of the three areas that we addressed and am excited to take those next steps/initiatives that I was able to outline.
"Thank you for your fabulous support and insightful questions. My dreams (literal ones from sleeping!) are reaffirming the exterior movement that I’m making. I'm so happy that my path led me to you. All of this is changing my life and in such positive ways."

"A top notch coach and facilitator"
"I have had the opportunity to work with Stephanie Marisca in three different aspects of a coaching experience. I was first introduced to her as my coaching SIG facilitator. She immediately impressed me with her command of coaching skills but even more appealing was how easy it was to connect to her.
"When I heard about a program she was running called Powerful Presentations, I signed on immediately. That was hands down the best investment I have made since becoming a coach. Not only did I learn an invaluable amount of information that I will always be able to use but once again Stephanie proved to be a top notch coach and facilitator. Consistently she led the group with great energy and professionalism.
"What I love most about Stephanie is her great ability to make all her participants feel heard. She genuinely has every group member’s best interest at heart. Additionally, I have worked with Stephanie privately and frequently have attended the monthly Coaches Cafe she runs. In every venue I have worked with her, she shows up 100%. I hope I am fortunate enough to have more opportunities work with her!"

"Stephanie is worth her weight in Gold"
“I was trained by Stephanie Marisca and have had the privilege to access her mentoring through the Coaches Café. Stephanie cares deeply about Coaching and professionalism. I knew that if I attended the Coaches Café I would have access to both of these qualities, which would enhance the facets of my brilliance as a Coach. The mentor calls have allowed my brilliance to shine through because I was able to access:
- Stephanie’s wealth of knowledge and guidance
- Professionally well run meeting
- Access to other Coaches through Facebook
- Recorded sessions to access at any time
- A SAFE place to take risks
- A Fun learning environment
"I would encourage all Coaches to access the Café whether they are new to Coaching or veterans. Talk about brilliance…Stephanie is worth her weight in Gold …even at today’s Gold standard.”

"A masterful coach"
"I admire your coaching style being on point, helping me to focus, set intentions and follow through with them. You are always poised and calm even when I am not. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a masterful coach like yourself."
"I can highly recommend Stephanie"
"Stephanie was my mentor coach for a few months. Her enthusiasm for helping me "learn the ropes" was constantly felt and her technique was very easy going and non-threatening.
"I recently enlisted Stephanie's help on a project idea that I had and once again she was able to clear the fog in my head and help me see the light. I can highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs a helping hand in achieving their true greatness."
"I learned so much"
"Great session! I learned so much: deep intuitive listening, tapping into the language of the client, returning to myself when I stray into my agenda fantasy. These are all valuable realizations and opportunities to reflect and be a better coach! Thank you so much!"
"Thank you for an excellent call"
"Just a short note to say THANK YOU for an excellent call.
"The tip about visioning type questions was such an impactful insight for me! Many thanks to you for venturing out and creating this community."
"Well worth it"
"I wanted say thank you for the Café last week – even for just the sharing of powerful coaching vs. masterful coaching the hour of attention was well worth it – it topped off the fact that every question honed skills."
