“Look around! Chaos! Misery! Anxiety! Anger! Torn Families, Kids, Egos, Marriages, Relationships! We’re broken. The old “methods” of helping – aren’t,” says Columbia University-trained Marnie Macauley.
She adds, “it’s never been worse, with machines dividing us, government, and corporate America reign ing (and raining) down on us, our privacy destroyed, our choices monitored, and “success” at any cost becoming the mantra instead of values.
“But you can fix it!” she believes. “Faster, more effectively – and for life.”
Macauley who has supervised Columbia grad students followed up with years in the New York City Criminal Justice system, becoming a top administrator. “I learned the deal was to risk change, not accept “by the book.” From there she was the director of the third (award-winning) Pre-Trial Program in the country and throughout her distinguished career, she had “the finest mentors … renegades all,” citing her late cousin, the legendary Dr. Haim Ginott, Dr. Robert U. Akeret, protege of Rollo May and Erich Fromme and Professor Alex Gitterman, Columbia University, among others.
“No more psychobabble! No more quick diagnoses!
“It takes uncommon sense.” To her that means: “No more psychobabble! No more quick diagnoses! No more wasting money and time hoping for lightning to strike while wiling away on a couch.”
She believes in teaching people how to take charge of their own reactions to give them power to find correct strategies to deal with modern problems. She hones her laser-sharp mind with platinum training, skill, creativity, anecdotes, and humor to create STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP THINKING (SRT) which uses evidence, proof, and truth. And she’ll show you how to do it.
“I’ve used this method to help couples, parents, family, friends, co-workers, teachers, and singles along with well- known, and high-profile clients (politicians, sports figures, CEOs, performers – and one who carried the nuclear football. Thank heavens.)”
Unlock the method yourself. Schedule a session and if after20 minutes you are not convinced this can change your thinking, she will charge you nothing!
Marnie Says…
“I’ve come to a terrifying miraculous truth. I am the author of MY LIFE. My personal reactions create the clouds or the calm around me. I have the power to make life a joyful or a torturous journey. I can destroy, or I can inspire. I can help or hurt or heal. For my time here, it is my reactions that will darken or enlighten, uplift or discourage, civilize or de-civilize the human spirit”
“Mistakes are our best teachers.”
“Strength doesn’t come from what you can do, but doing what you thought you couldn’t.”
“Don’t get upset with people or situations, both are powerless without your reactions.”
“Only by clarifying a problem correctly can we take back effective control of our lives .”
DAVID ALAN KOGUT - Creative Consultant - Star Equity Group
I have also worked with FORTUNE 100 companies and ICONIC A-list public figures that struggle with creating branded events that integrate fundraising, tributes and PRODUCT LAUNCHES. They would like to create seamless events that pays tribute to industry icons, raise a lot of money for a great cause and bring a product to market.
My SUPERPOWER comes from my background in the entertainment industry. I understand all the steps needed to take someone from UNKNOWN to KNOWN to more importantly a HOUSEHOLD NAME. Because of this, they get national recognition, increased market share and ultimately more dollars.
Navigating these concerns is where I do my best work to create their Star Equity.
