The High Potential Accelerator changed these participants forever:
*I deeply value the privacy and autonomy of every client. All past students featured here were given the choice to share their experience in whatever way felt most comfortable to them—whether that’s with a full name, a first name only, or anonymously.
“I’ve seen countless coaches/mentors, read many books on success and confidence in the workplace but nobody was ever able to get to the root of my problems other than Marissa. She knows exactly what causes a lack of confidence at work. She addresses it in a way that will stay with you forever. I would have never been able to understand myself as well as I do now without her!”
“HPA has made such a difference in my daily interactions with staff and other leaders. The program has provided actionable items that were easy to understand and easy to implement in my daily life quickly. We are only half way through the program and if it ended today I would still feel like the program is worth it.”
“The HPA program has been a game changer for me. I struggled with dealing with nerves and anxiety in work meetings at my corporate job. This program has truly opened my mind to how my thought process was flawed, and now I have new ways to process interactions at work. Thank you, Marissa, for creating this program! It has genuinely improved my life!!”

“Simply put, I finally found myself at work. Before entering into the corporate world, I was this bubbly & outgoing girl who knew her worth and was confident in what she was doing. However, that all changed when I started working. I started second guessing myself in everything i did, putting everyone on a pedestal and questioning how I even got my job in the first place. I was paralyzed by imposter syndrome. I over analyzed every single social interaction at work and ruminated everyday during my commute to work. I can’t believe how much my mindset has shifted in just short 6 weeks!
I still face stress and anxiety causing situations at work, but the difference is, I now have the tools to regulate myself and my emotions. I no longer fear them. Though validations and words of affirmation from others (such as my managers) are still very nice, I no longer need them to feel safe. I no longer ask others to validate me because I feel a much stronger sense of who I am and my values. I no longer need everyone to like me. I no longer ruminate- I only think in terms of the actions I can take, I focus on now and I feel at peace- and this is huge!!
If you are thinking about working with Marissa- give yourself a chance, give yourself the opportunity to be taught a different thinking pattern, invest in yourself! This is hands down the best thing I’ve done for myself in 2024.”
