Marissa is one of those rare leaders who truly transforms the environment around her. She has redefined what it means to lead with both strategy and heart, bringing a sense of energy, trust, and collaboration that inspired everyone to bring their best selves to work. Marissa leads with authenticity, clarity, and an unwavering kindness that makes everyone feel seen and supported, and she has a remarkable ability to unite teams around shared goals and to bring out the best in everyone she works with.

I have had the privilege of working closely with Marissa Levin, our CHRO, and can say without hesitation that her leadership has had a profound impact both on me personally and on our organization as a whole. She exemplifies servant leadership—always present, approachable, and genuinely invested in the success of her team—consistently celebrating achievements, providing encouragement, and removing obstacles so we can deliver our best work. Beyond supporting day-to-day operations, she plays a key role in shaping our organizational culture and driving strategic objectives, creating an environment where people thrive and feel valued, and I look up to her as a role model for how to lead with integrity, empathy, and impact.

I had the pleasure of working with Marissa at The National Society of Leadership and Success, where she stepped into the CHRO role at a pivotal time when the organization was experiencing significant cultural challenges. Within just six months, Marissa addressed those gaps and built a foundation of trust that reconnected senior leadership, HR, and employees across every level. What sets her apart is her authenticity and the high standards she holds herself to—her words and actions always align, her genuine care for people is evident in everything she does, and she is truly an expert in navigating spaces few can manage with the same grace, strength, and impact.

Working under Marissa’s leadership was truly one of the highlights of my career. She leads with such authenticity, integrity, and heart, creating an environment where people feel valued, trusted, and supported, and her strategic leadership, paired with genuine empathy, has shaped how I think, lead, and collaborate in my personal and professional life. Marissa has a gift for bringing out the best in others and inspiring everyone around her to lead with purpose, and I’m deeply grateful for the lasting impact she’s had on both my growth and the culture at NSLS.

“Marissa's ability to guide her clients to the answers that are right for them is incredibly well tuned and I can’t wait to see what’s next. I would highly recommend Marissa to any one who would like to improve their leadership skills or is looking for a coach to guide them through the challenges of owning or managing a business.”

“Marissa has been so much more to me and my business than a business coach. She has become an essential partner in my business' success. She has helped me to tap into the inspiring story of my company, my own value as its leader, and to rewire the usual patterns of client-consultant engagement in a game changing way. I thought I just needed some practical help, and she certainly provided that in dozens of ways in terms of introductions and networking, vendor recommendations, hand-holding in the sales process, partner relationships, and so much more. But what I didn't realize was how much help I needed with mindset and internal narrative. Marissa's package of positivity, confidence and radiance has become the voice in my head, battling and ultimately replacing the shadows that too often haunt and sabotage entrepreneurs and their companies. It was shocking to me how much our internal narrative governs our impact on prospects, clients and partners - and what a dramatic transformation was possible not only for my business but my life. I'm forever grateful to Marissa, and wish she could work with everyone I know!”

“Marissa provided me with sound, insightful, and supportive coaching - during both positive and challenging times in my career. Her guidance helped me when I needed it the most, and I'm forever grateful that I had the opportunity to learn and grow because of her. I highly recommend Marissa as a leadership coach.”

Marissa's coaching guided me to a place where my best life is ahead of me. Her empathy, life experience, and career strategies gave me the insight I needed to realize my self-worth and blossom through the mud that is life and its obstacles. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from her and find my life path.
