Marshall A. Brown, PCC

Marshall Brown is not your typical career and executive coach. He wears suits and ties (but only when he really needs to). He is more apt to take his jacket and tie off, roll up his sleeves, and get down to work to help his clients. What you see is what you get - a real, down-to-earth person with powerful skills to help support and encourage individuals to reach exceptional levels of performance. He is a Certified Career and Executive Coach, Entrepreneur Coach, and Personal Brand Strategist who exudes passion so you will succeed. Marshall also provides a series of stepping stones in the form of hands-on personal training and interaction, both nationally and internationally, that can rapidly move you and your organization closer to world-class status.

Marshall is skilled at taking clients on journeys of discovery – helping them identify and use their true talents and passions in life. Many have praised him for personal transformations that advanced their professional lives and helped them lead more balanced personal lives. His mantra is simple: Get clear, get focused, get ahead.

Best of all, he produces results. One recent client who landed a new association CEO position had this to say: "Marshall Brown was my coach, supporter and cheerleader through my recent search. He made me work. He made me examine what I truly wanted for the next success. He challenged the way I presented myself in cover letters and in interviews. Working with Marshall was absolutely the right move. If you want to be authentic, confident and a leading candidate in your next search, Marshall will get you there."

Much of Marshall’s recent work has focused on entrepreneurs and personal branding. He recognizes the unique attitudes and talents required to succeed as an entrepreneur and the role entrepreneurs play in moving the nation’s economy forward. Through his Entrepreneur Mastery Success Program, he helps them take a critical look at every facet of their business, from the passion that drove them to create it to the barriers to success that every entrepreneur encounters.

So where does he gain the knowledge and experience to offer all these services? Marshall says it comes from making the most out of every professional experience and drawing out lessons that apply across many situations and challenges.
