"Coaching has provided a safe place to be held accountable, challenged, and stretched to explore your inner self. The journey has led to encouraging and hopeful discoveries, that give me confidence for the future."

“I was immediately impressed by Marie’s professionalism and ability to connect with those around her. When the opportunity came up to work with Marie as a Life Coach I was intrigued by the idea of a life coach and thought she would be a good fit for me and what I was interested in accomplishing during this period in my life." 

“In the time I’ve been working with Marie I have been able to make some small but significant positive changes in my life. Marie has helped me find the baby steps I needed to take in order to work towards several long term goals and to feel empowered to make these changes.”

Suzanne Woolf, CBAP

"Marie strikes an amazing balance between a huge zest for life/work and patient leadership.

I have personally witnessed Marie challenging everyone around her to reach for their best personal attributes in order to create effective change.  She is able to do so with charm, inspiration and an acute intelligence that is rare.

In group settings she is a strong contributor while still honoring the overall group direction.  She is a strong listener, maintains her own personal authority and is able to collaborate with an endless variety of leadership styles in different situations.  She coaches equally well in one-on-one environments and groups, empowering people to bring forth their best qualities in order to achieve results and build solid alliances."

“In the short time I have been working with Marie I feel I have come a long way. She has helped me to start determining what is best for me and not for others. She has helped me to start looking at the future of the life I want and to understand the past is in the past and cannot be changed." 

“Once I contacted her, I immediately could tell she was the one I wanted to start working with in coaching. I feel Marie cares very much for my goals and visions and wants to see me succeed. I am very happy to have found Marie and to be working with her for my coaching.”

April Harding

"Coach Marie was very insightful in our coaching work together.  She was able to make connections that I did not see.  She inspired me to take steps in a direction that are in line with my passion as well as sports background.  Thank you coach Marie!"

“As a practicing psychologist with over 30 years experience, I approached coaching with some skepticism and apprehension. In a very short time, Marie was able to establish a safe, comfortable alliance and provide helpful alternative perspectives for me to consider as I tackled a challenging issue. Her deliberate, yet considerate manner enabled me to generate goals and plans that had more relevance than ever before. I am impressed with Marie’s intelligence, compassion and integrity. I offer my highest endorsement.”

"Marie Bankuti was my instructor for a class offered by Boston University's Corporate Education Center.  She quickly and effectively created a dynamic learning environment in which professionals from a variety of backgrounds and at different levels of employment came to work together as equal participants in the learning process.  Marie’s professional leadership and training expertise made this class the best I have taken in quite some time.  In addition, Marie demonstrated willingness to give her own personal time and counsel to me beyond what was required by her role as an instructor.  I recommend Marie highly as a trainer or a coach; I am also confident that she is expert as a Project Manager or Business Analyst; her knowledge in those areas surfaces during training sessions as she fields questions and leads discussions."

"The Project Management 101 Class offered by Newton Community Ed and taught by Marie Bankuti was excellent. The principles of project management can be applied to many areas of our lives - the work place, personal and family, or a volunteer organization. the instructor was knowledgeable, provided detailed handouts and gave specific examples from her experiences. The class was run in an informal and interactive style that made participants feel comfortable discussing how the material could be applied to their unique situation. I would definitely take another course taught by Marie."

Ellen Bennett
