Marla Dufek Coaching

Coaching is a partnership focused on what serves you, the client. Our conversations will be a dynamic exploration of what is already true for you, what you want to be true for you going forward, and what changes will bring you fulfillment. Throughout our working relationship, we will engage in direct and personal conversations. You can count on me to be honest and straightforward in asking questions, making observations and challenging you in service of your goals.

Coaching is a Partnership in Service of You

Coaching can look like therapy or consulting in that we will spend our time together focused entirely on you, on your agenda. What’s different is that together, we will uncover what is already true for you about what you want, what you need and what you’re capable of. There’s nothing about you or your past to fix. Coaching is a journey we take together to get you where you want to go. Together, we’ll find or forge your path toward the life you want.

Maybe some of this sounds like crazy talk or some pie-in-the-sky ideal…

But you want it, don’t you?

And I want it for you.

Let’s co-create the life YOU want.

Curious, Compassionate, Cheerleader… Coach

​I came to coaching in search of my own best ​career, ​life and ​a path to serve others. My favorite ways to serve others have always involved understanding what makes us all tick - getting down to what’s underneath our beliefs, behaviors and struggles. I hold people to be naturally creative, resourceful and whole. One of my greatest joys as a coach is helping people see themselves that way, too.

I am committed to offering a quality, effective experience for my clients, steeped in powerful and time-tested tools. I chose to train in Co-Active coaching - the gold standard of coach training and the most rigorous and respected certification in the industry. I hold the CPCC (Certified Professional Co-active Coach) as well as PCC (Professional Certified Coach) through the International Coaching Federation - the main governing body for certified coaches.

In addition, I constantly pursue other training and education, including The CTI CoActive Leadership program, ORSC (Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching), RIM (Reintegrating Images in Memory) and others. My commitment to learning to be the best coach for you also includes self-directed learning.

NOTE: We all need to find the right coaching relationship for ourselves, for our goals and for the stage we’re at in our growth. It’s also important that you’re able to speak freely with your coach, which means that someone you already know may not be the right coach for you. I’ll be more than happy - thrilled even - to help you explore who else you might want to work with if it’s not me.

I strongly encourage you to seek out coaches who are, at minimum, ICF certified. There really is a difference.

You have an Authentic Self

Living fully into your own uniqueness is the path to fulfillment, joy and purpose in your life. It is your greatest source of strength. In fact, it’s all you need. Our partnership will reveal and release it.

You are always at Choice

Your life is your own and you choose how to live it. Together, we will untangle limiting beliefs that shortchange your life.

Courage is Key

As your coach, I am your cheerleader and champion so that you can always access the courage that lies within you.

Self-Compassion is the PAth

The future you desire lives in self-compassion. After all, if beating yourself up really worked, you would be golden by now, wouldn’t you?

None of us are in this alone

Our human connections are vital and the magic you seek can be found by tapping into them. As a Co-active Coach, I know that together we really can do anything. Really.  

 Yay! This is a great day. You’ve chosen to live your life, your way!

Get in touch with me via the link below to get the ball rolling. We’ll discuss what you can expect from signing up to coach with me. I’ll send you pricing information, a coaching agreement and a short intake questionnaire. You’ll make appointments through my online scheduler.

We’ll meet via phone or video, although arrangements can be made to get together in-person occasionally. At our initial session, we’ll allow some extra time for logistics like deciding how we want to work together and defining your goals.
