Testimonials

”Marsha’s been a coach, mentor and thought partner to me; a provocateur of all things customer-driven, brand-centric and purpose-laden. She notes trends 3-5 years in advance and crafts strategy to not only prepare but excel. Her capacity to challenge while inspiring is fuel for helping leaders to accelerate, grow and create new markets. Regardless of your role in the C-Suite, Marsha’s perspective will refresh and challenge you to discover success and define what’s next.”

”I could not recommend anyone more highly than Marsha Lindsay for brand consultation, evolution, and development. Marsha asks you to be open to freely and voraciously challenge general assumptions and thinking. All the while helping you to better understand and appreciate the deep truth about how and why people do what they do and how we as business leaders and shepherds of our respective brands should approach the marketplace. Smart, charming, witty, experienced, connected, authentic, curious and impossible not to like, (Marsha’s) listening skills are world class. She is truly one of the finest people I have worked with in business, and I learn so much from her each time we interact.”

” Marsha’s insights, critical thinking and her ability to demonstrate the necessity for a clear, singular strategic focus was a game changer for our company. The approach she used enabled us to articulate a clear focus to accelerate our profitable growth and competitive advantage in the future which left us excited and aligned.”

It was very beneficial and enlightening for me to serve with Marsha as a fellow Board Member in my capacity as CEO, President, and COO of the Church Mutual Insurance Group. Marsha consistently provided meaningful and timely advice to me on our brand and marketing positioning. Her greatest achievement, however, was taking the entire executive team and Board through several lengthy and thought-provoking discussions on strategy. I have to admit, coming from a Fortune 100 company, I thought I understood strategy pretty well. Through Marsha’s coaching, I learned that I was a neophyte. Like many executives working deeply on operations, we tend to default to tactical behaviors. Marsha opened my eyes to what strategy truly entails and how important it is for the C-Suite to own strategy.
