The Founder

Having “walked in their shoes” helps Marie understand the challenges that today’s leaders face.  Previously, Marie was a Managing Director for Harte-Hanks, an international direct marketing and communications firm, for nine years. During her tenure, she held positions as the President and General Manager of operating divisions on both coasts, where she had bottom line P & L accountability and managed staffs of several hundred people.

Today Marie Peeler is an executive coach and leadership development expert that works with individuals and organizations to increase their business effectiveness through true and lasting transformation.  Marie works with the core belief that leaders must be developed from the inside out; self-awareness, emotional intelligence, authentic leadership and systems thinking are all key themes in her work.

As a coach, Marie works with both individual leaders and leadership teams.  She helps her clients make fundamental changes that allow them to decide what's important, see things differently, and take positive actions that bring them closer to their goals.  An accomplished and enthusiastic public speaker, she also speaks at industry events and leads public and private workshops.

Marie has a Master of Science degree in Organizational Learning and Development and earned her coaching credentials at Georgetown University in the graduate level Leadership Coaching program there.  She is certified by both the International Coach Federation and The Leadership Circle™.  She has also received advanced training in and is authorized to use the Leadership Maturity Framework (LMF) and Profile (MAP).  Marie is a professional member of the National Speakers Association.

Active in her community, Marie is a member and past Chairman of the Board of a non-profit community and social services organization serving communities throughout eastern Massachusetts.  She is also a member of her town’s Financial Advisory Committee, and is a community leader in the grassroots Bay Circuit Alliance.

Marie resides in Massachusetts with her husband.  When she is not coaching, leading, or speaking, she can usually be found outdoors or indulging her artistic passions.
