I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Marilyn is an amazing human being and a great career coach. She helped me: 1. crystalize where I currently stand in my career and where I want to go, 2. understand myself and what I really want, 3. assess what my strengths and weaknesses are and how to leverage strengths and minimize weaknesses, 4. charter a path that would build a path forward that is reasonable and desired, 5. start on this path. I am grateful for Marilyn’s patience and know how in helping me with my career decisions and path. I highly recommend Marilyn as a career coach.

Working with Marilyn has been a meaningful and clarifying experience. She helped me develop a clearer vision of the professional life I want to create—one that offers potential flexibility in my work demands, opportunities for travel and exploration, and the ability to make a strong, positive impact in my community.

Her thoughtful guidance and willingness to challenge me pushed me to think more expansively about my career options rather than defaulting to familiar paths. She also helped me recognize that I have greater ownership over my career, my income, and the future I want to build for myself. I am embracing this process with more clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction in my career and life.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an insightful, encouraging, and thought-provoking career coach.

Navil Wilson – Morristown, New Jersey

After four years in my second career in life, I began to evaluate alternative paths and wonder what other work I might pursue.
With my background in sales, operations management and employee development, I knew I had a lot to offer. At the same time, I realized there was so much more out there I had yet to experience. I was unsure where to begin my search. When I first learned about Marilyn, I thought she was someone I wanted to learn from.

What stood out most in Marilyn’s coaching was how she kept the discovery process free of pressure.
When I was still learning and had a lot left to discover, I pressured myself to decide and choose a direction. While Marilyn reminded me that I was going through a process of seeking clarity and figuring things out takes time.  She always said that it is completely fine not knowing the next step yet.She took a phased approach, allowing space to figure out the specifics as we moved forward

She guided me with questions that helped me stay right on target and weigh my choices. With her help I let go of guesses and assumptions and instead learned how things work step by step.

I am very glad our paths crossed with Marylin. If you wonder what else you could be doing in your career or business, I recommend connecting with Marilyn. She is an invaluable resource and just a wonderful person.

Kristina Gutsalova – Chattanooga, Tennessee

I had the pleasure of working with Marilyn at The Entrepreneur’s Source as I navigate a pivotal career transition. After 25 years in my career, I find myself at an inflection point, ready to think intentionally about the next 10 years ahead. I needed a structured way to reflect on my journey, clarify my vision, and explore new career possibilities. Marilyn delivered on all of that and more. She helped me dig into my strengths, understand my personality and behavioral tendencies, and align my skillset with my future intentions. The result? A clearer sense of direction and a genuine belief in my ability to shape what comes next. That kind of clarity is invaluable and Marilyn made it possible. If you are at crossroads in your career and ready to think boldly about your next chapter, I can’t recommend Marilyn highly enough.

Dominique Zwinkels – United States

Marilyn is one of my favorite people (we worked together 15+ years ago and recently reconnected). She listens, articulates, full of energy, and insightful ideas. Awesome to see her start a coaching practice for so many people considering new career options, which includes me! At the mid-point in my career, I’m asking myself what do I want to focus on next. With her guidance and new toolset of self-assessments, I had a chance to share my aspirations and review a few paths forward. Meeting with Marilyn provided much needed reflection, clarity, and excitement for the future.

Kurt Grela – Ashburn, Virginia

Working with Marilyn as my Career Ownership Coach® through The Entrepreneur’s Source® has been a truly transformative experience. She has a remarkable ability to help you cut through the noise — guiding me to define my vision while keeping things focused and manageable as I work toward my lifestyle goals. Her knowledge is extensive, and I’ve learned an enormous amount through our work together. Most significantly, she opened my eyes to franchise ownership as a very real possibility for my future — something I never would have considered on my own. What makes Marilyn exceptional isn’t just her expertise, but the way she delivers it: supportive, refreshing, and completely free of pressure. It’s clear she is in this work for the right reasons and genuinely cares about the people she coaches. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Stephanie Adams – Houston, Texas

I’ve had the privilege of working with Marilyn Noguera as a career coach over the past few weeks, and the experience has been genuinely transformative.

As someone whose professional path was deeply impacted by the stop-work order while working in a foreign country, I found myself navigating multiple conflicting thoughts about identity, career direction, stability, and what should come next. It was a season of uncertainty, reflection, and difficult questions.

What made this coaching experience particularly valuable was her ability to guide me through that complexity with both strategy and thoughtfulness. She asked the kind of powerful questions that pushed me to think beyond immediate uncertainty and reflect more deeply on who I am, what I have accomplished, and what I truly want for my next chapter.

Through our work together, I gained a much clearer perspective on the value of my professional achievements and how my experience—particularly in humanitarian and public sector leadership—can translate across sectors, including spaces I had not fully considered before. She helped me reframe my experience not as something limiting, but as an asset with transferable value.

Her coaching is not generic advice. It is intentional, reflective, and highly personalized. The questionnaires, challenging discussions, recommended readings, and practical resources created a process that encouraged real introspection and strategic thinking between sessions.

What I appreciated most was that this was not simply about finding another job; it was about redefining direction, shifting perspective, and rebuilding confidence with clarity.

If you are navigating a career transition, uncertainty, reinvention, or simply need a trusted thought partner to help you think more deeply and strategically about your future, I wholeheartedly recommend working with her. Her ability to help people uncover clarity and possibility in moments of uncertainty is truly exceptional.

Nyota Babunga – New York City

Working with Marilyn over the past several months has been an incredibly positive and rewarding experience. From our very first conversation, she made the entire career ownership exploration process feel approachable, structured, and exciting. Marilyn is extremely personable, attentive, and genuinely invested in understanding both your professional goals and your personal motivations.

What stood out most to me was how thoughtfully she guided the process. Our weekly meetings kept me focused, accountable, and consistently moving forward without ever feeling overwhelmed. Marilyn created an environment where I felt comfortable openly sharing my thoughts, questions, and concerns, and she always listened with patience and insight.

Before working with Marilyn, I had honestly never considered starting and running my own business. Through her coaching, guidance, and encouragement, I gained clarity about what I truly wanted in the next phase of my career and what type of franchise opportunity aligned with my goals and lifestyle. I am now preparing to sign a franchise agreement, something I never would have imagined when this journey began, and I am genuinely excited about the opportunity ahead.

I would highly recommend Marilyn to anyone exploring career ownership or considering franchise opportunities. She brings professionalism, structure, encouragement, and a personal touch that makes what could feel like an intimidating process both manageable and empowering.

Lindabeth Doby – New Business Owner

My sessions with Marilyn came at the perfect time. It delivered invaluable clarity on aligning my career goals by focusing on one path to build momentum, then expanding for the impact and long-term financial stability I seek. Her thoughtful questions sparked fresh perspectives on transferable skills from my 18 years in development work. I especially appreciated her emphasis on structured ownership of professional paths. I highly recommend Marilyn’s services for professionals navigating transitions.

Sending amazing kudos to the fabulous Marilyn Noguera. Marilyn was able to help me refocus on a new career path during a very difficult time, work-wise. Marilyn provides personal coaching with empathy and commitment to you as the client. She helped me structure key steps to help me create a new vision for my career path and was fully willing to pivot as my interests expanded beyond my comfort zone. 

Wendy Nicodemus – Lusaka Province, Zambia

Meeting with Marilyn has been rewarding, eye opening and informative! When I first started working with her, I was exploring career options that were mostly attuned to my personality and work experience. Using my DISC results to narrow potential career options was the most helpful for broadening my outlook and possibilities. Through my conversations with Marilyn, I’ve become more confident and optimistic in my journey to discover a career that had seemed out of my reach! As a whole, anyone would benefit from a career ownership coach because I believe it’s never too late to change careers or discover a fit from something that might have seemed unlikely! Marilyn’s ability to adapt to my communications and learning style and interests was comforting and genuine! Her bank of knowledge in multiple industries is helpful with comparing and contrasting opportunities that align with my vision! Huge thanks to Marilyn for her dedication and time!

Marilyn is respectful, professional, and kind. She patiently explained business franchising opportunities, while also openly discussing what may or may not work best for my wife and me. I enjoyed our conversations
