PhilosophyIn a word: People

Marni helps people address workplace issues by communicating more effectively and working together more harmoniously. In some cases that may mean ensuring that everyone in the organization understands their legal obligations regarding respectful and psychologically safe workplaces. In other cases, it may involve helping people recognize how their brains can be triggered to make poor decisions at work.

Marni’s passion for neuroscience can be seen in the examples she uses during her training sessions. Her workshops are always engaging and both informative and fun. She’s attended too many “death by PowerPoint” training sessions, so she ensures that her programs are always interactive and thought-provoking.

An interesting tidbit

Marni had her first job at age 12. At 17, she was the youngest manager of concessions in Parks and Recreation at The City of Thunder Bay. She managed a staff of 22, did all of the ordering of supplies, employee scheduling, payroll, bank deposits and inventory. It was a great learning experience.
