Our Heroes

At The Marlo Companies, we believe that meaningful change starts with people. Our heroes are the leaders, team members, clients, partners, and community members who choose to grow, lead, serve, and make a difference. They are the people who step forward during challenges, invest in themselves and others, and help create stronger organizations and communities. Their stories remind us that leadership is not simply about a title. It is about the impact we make on the people around us.

Celebrating the Courage to Transform

At The Marlo Companies, our heroes are the individuals, teams, and organizations we have had the privilege of supporting throughout their journey of growth and transformation.

They chose to invest in themselves, their people, and their organizations. They had the courage to confront challenges, the grit to stay committed to the process, and the willingness to be vulnerable enough to grow.

Their transformation is their story.

Their courage is why we call them our Heroes.

Leaders Who Choose to Grow

Leadership is a journey.

The leaders we work with come from different industries, organizations, and backgrounds. They may be executives navigating organizational change, managers developing their teams, or emerging leaders preparing for greater responsibility.

What connects them is their willingness to learn, grow, and create a positive impact.

What our heroes say

“ Marlo is amazing and The Marlo Company services are superb. She has this way of delivering difficult messages in a loving way. Our culture was toxic and everything that goes with it. Her expertise helped to change 30 years of toxicity. I would definitely recommend The Marlo Company.”

Randi Knight - Director

Metropolitan Washington DC

“ Marlo facilitated our board strategic planning retreat. It was the best retreat that we have had in my more than 20-years as an elected board official.”

Chairman - Board of Education

Metropolitan Washington DC

“ My division was experiencing challenges in positive and productive communication between management. Individuals were not treating others with respect, there was a divide of acceptable behaviors, and staff felt unsafe and emotionally unsupported. Marlo’s coaching assisted me, on a managerial level, and my peers with communication and team building. I would recommend The Marlo Company to support your organization.”

CPS Manager

Metropolitan Washington DC

“ Marlo’s knowledge and expertise provided a strategic blueprint for my professional development. Although I was in a position of authority, I would reframe from speaking out on issues that needed to be addressed in the company of my peers. However, Marlo challenged me to find my voice.”

Van D. Washington - Family Services Manager

Metropolitan Washington DC

“ The True Colors class that The Marlo Companies facilitated was SO interactive! I loved the skits and the groups. I enjoyed being able to visually see how people express their traits in the workplace. It was really helpful for understanding myself in order to understand others.”

Senior Manager

Metropolitan Washington DC

“ I cannot say enough good things about Marlo. She is a great listener; she is direct and cuts right through to the stuff that has the highest impact. This experience was a life changer.”

Jeanie Ashby - Executive Director

Salt Lake City

“ Marlo and Justyce facilitated meetings for our company because there was a lack of trust and open communication. Because of them, our meetings started running so well -it felt like it was the first time in forever that we had made progress in a team meeting. Our progression was only a tribute to their skill, talent, and most definitely their patience!”

Manager

Metropolitan Washington DC

“ Justyce was a great facilitator offering different perspectives for our team to consider and even scribed for us during the breakout sessions so that we could fully engage with one another.”

Below are some of the entities that we have been able to support in transforming their career, lives, organizations, and situations. Because they had the courage to invest (in themselves, their organizations, their teams) and embark upon a transformative journey, the grit to stick with it until the end, and the willingness to be vulnerable, they are our Heroes!
