ROAR! supports anyone struggling with fatigue and burnout, to (re)ignite their authentic purpose, rebalance their priorities, achieve alignment and better work-life integration. Marilise's signature ROAR! Blueprint and training programmes centre around learning how to spot your inner bully and reframe any limiting
inner conversation into a powerful
inner roar. It helps you to face the difficult conversations with others - to ROAR. Marilise's curriculum is based on her own experiences, and the tools she has been using and refining for over two decades - to get through an eating disorder in her 20s, and to get through work addiction
and burnout in her 30s. You can read more about Marilise's story in her
best-selling book ROAR! How to tame the bully inside and out. You can also watch her TEDx talk, 'Have you found your ROAR!?'

“Marilise’s course is a gem! It helped me on my journey to discover and empower my inner and outer ROAR! Her outstanding experience as a woman in tech leadership and her personal story made me connect fully with her message; she encouraged me to have difficult conversations with myself while providing great insights and tips to navigate difficult situations at work. Marilise created a safe space which helped us trust the process and maximise the results. Thanks, Marilise”

It has been an incredible cyber leadership coaching journey for the last 3 years with the ROAR-some Marilise. With her easy-going and personal approach to leadership coaching, I have been able to better discover my personal and professional purpose and reset my priorities accordingly. The best thing about her coaching approach is that you as a coachee will feel that she genuinely understands and cares for you and wants you to succeed as your best self, both individually and professionally.

Marilise course takes you through a personal journey to discovering the best version of yourself. You'll learn to reflect on what you want in life and why, you'll be motivated to back yourself and to let go of inner voices holding you back, and you'll be guided on real-life actions to take and habits to implement to help drive towards where you want to go. This course will help you find purpose if you feel you have lost your way in aspects of your life. It will motivate and help you to make positive life changes. Furthermore, it will guide you towards being a truer version of yourself, inside and out. Marilise draws upon her own personal experience and expertise throughout - she is authentic, inspiring, and powerful.

William Clark (CISSP, PMP, BRMP) Senior Program manager, Security

I thoroughly enjoyed the ROAR! experience with my co-workers.  Marilise brings such a sense of optimism, intense happiness and a joy for life that is contagious.  All of us are on our own personal journeys and having Marilise provide a safe space for the team to discuss “where they are on the journey”, was beneficial to us all.  One of Marilise’s sayings that I use to keep myself focused daily is to “always notice what you are noticing”. I also now catch myself when using negative words about myself (my inner bully), and have made huge strides in stopping this, buoyed by Marilise’s guidance that you will have some bad days occasionally, and recognizing this and allowing that is OK for a short time while you get yourself back on track. In conclusion, I absolutely recommend Marilise for coaching and building a confident, open and effective team spirit.

Her constructive feedback has kept us motivated and focused, leading to substantial improvements and successes. This transformative experience with Marilise has been life-changing, enhancing our professional capabilities and strengthening our team bonds. I warmly recommend Marilise.
