Marion D. Skeete, CPC
Certified Life and Leadership Coach, Speaker, Writer, Mediator, Consultant, Ordained Minister
You have an original design. It is who God has intended you to be. It is your best self. Oftentimes society, culture, family of origin and even your own self, can impose upon that original design, causing you to live a distorted image of who you are truly meant to be. God calls upon you to reclaim you. It is not a call to individualism or self-centered living. Quite the opposite. In reality, it is as we reclaim our original design that we are the most empowered to serve and positively influence others, ultimately achieving our goals and finding personal fulfillment. My goal as a Life Coach is to help you “re-image” who you are so you can live a fulfilled and meaningful life, whether you consider yourself a leader or simply someone who has a calling to make a difference in this world.
DON’T JUST SURVIVE—THRIVE!
Life is for real. It is no fairytale. One’s life can go from happiness to catastrophe without a moment’s notice. We can’t control the future. However, what we can control is how we face the future and how we proactively overcome adversity, even if the adversity is within us. God has given us the power of choice.
It has been said that only the strong survive. Although that may be true, mere survival is not living your life to the fullest as God intended. As one who has experienced the depths of loss and tragedy, as well as success and impassioned living, I have discovered the power of choice. By asking you key questions, I will empower you to make choices to not merely survive, but thrive and achieve your goals, even through life’s adversity. The world is waiting for the untapped resources of gifts, talents, abilities, and passions that are within you. They can only receive them as you thrive!

Curt Gibson, Associate Director, Lake Avenue Foundation, Pasadena, CA
Our YMCA Youth Alliance Leadership Team workshop with Marion Skeete became the encounter of refreshing we had been waiting for. Can you imagine, our program that is constantly making news headlines and recognized at various levels from government groups for our achievements, was in need of a fresh breath of life? Such was the case, until we experienced the knowledge and abilities of Marion Skeete of LegacyMakers. Marion was able to tap into our dreams and cause them to become a tangible expression. Since the day my staff experienced Marion’s style of coaching and leadership, our ability to execute plans has been strengthened and our model for change has gone to deeper levels of the human experience. Our goals have become a reality… no longer just a vision, but a breathing tangible plan in action.
Ulises Gutierrez, Director of YMCA Youth Alliance, Monrovia, CA
When Marion Skeete speaks and prays with you it is evident that she has a strong relationship with God. This helps to explain why every encounter with her is an uplifting experience. Encouragement is one of her gifts; she knows how to instill hope into one’s perception of their future. She was able to show me that things which I thought were weaknesses could actually become strengths. Marion offered insights that helped me to see things in a much more positive light. I am a better person for having spent time with her. I am sure she will be a blessing to everyone she coaches.
