About S'Marie

Meet S'Marie

(Say the letter “S”Marie)
My commitment is bringing the benefits of my business and life experiences to my clients.

With an entrepreneurial spirit, it was always my belief that we create our own destiny. After being introduced to Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill in my first year in college, I switched my focus from psychology and early childhood education to business. By age twenty-four I’d opened my first real estate office as a broker and sole proprietor.

During a twenty-five-year career in commercial real estate, an inner resiliency developed from riding the ups and downs of the market, emerging as a sales leader. The art of negotiation was thrilling, but it was the connections and relationships forged from a high level of service and commitment that truly motivated me.

Searching for a career that served the whole person, inside and out, personally and professionally, I found leadership coaching a perfect fit. I bring my entrepreneurial background and keen insight to benefit my clients.

As a poet, I am a natural observer, offering creative insights and guidance to clients in a way that penetrates beyond the head and reaches the heart—the place where meaningful change happens.

“Today, it is my greatest joy to serve individuals and companies who want to create a culture of conscious leadership and sustainable change. I believe that narrative begins inside each one of us, as a call to authenticity, to standing in what we know to be true. Taking that stand leads to greater compassion for ourselves and others and to the wisdom that leads to the change we boldly envision.”

My Story

Being a lifelong seeker of the truth and a meditator committed to personal development, I have always been fascinated with the story behind the story of my own and other’s behaviors.

The road I chose led to India, and a whole new life and career. Walking through the silent gardens outside a small village in India, I let go of life as I knew it back home. In the beauty and stillness of the early morning, I listened inside to the call of a new beginning. That four-month stay in an Indian meditation ashram taught me to watch, listen, and follow the flow of energy, within and without. Above all, I experienced that the true destination lies within my very own heart. My personal motto became Let it unfold, as I embarked on a new adventure towards a more fulfilling and purpose-filled life.
