Welcome to Marilyn C. O’Leary’s Website and Blog
I guide adventurous adults to a life of fulfillment through positive encouragement, accountability, and deep learning.
Becoming a life coach was a natural career progression for me. I had been a teacher; an attorney who also mentored, spoke, and planned CLEs; an administrator who nurtured staff members to grow in their professions; and the director of a law school institute that fostered interdisciplinary collaboration. The themes of my work were mentorship, fostering growth, education, and collaboration. I mostly loved supporting people to use their creativity doing work they loved.
After I retired from UNM, when a friend invited me to a coach training, I jumped at the chance to see what it was all about. The opportunity to use my own personal interests and growth to learn about coaching people in how to grow and change their own lives ignited my enthusiasm. I researched certified coaching programs around the country and enrolled in CTI, one of the oldest professional coach accreditation programs in the country. As a lawyer, I wanted a professionally run, credentialed program that adhered to a code of ethics. After completing CTI’s coursework and certification program, I am working as a life coach to help professionals make changes so that they lead a life of fulfillment. Life coaching is the most rewarding work I have ever done.
I believe that life can be fulfilling at any stage and any age. Whether you’re a practicing lawyer, a business executive, or a retired professional, you can benefit from the services of a professional coach. If you’re overworked, underutilized, too busy, or in the doldrums, life coaching can help you.
