Marcia is an Executive Coach, leadership development consultant, and author of The Neuroscience of Leadership: Rewire. Untangle. Lead. — a book that bridges cutting-edge brain science with the real-world demands of leading at the highest levels. She is Professor Emerita of Leadership at Golden Gate University's Ageno School of Business, where she designed and directed a Master's in Leadership program and held a research professorship in neuroscience and leadership.

With decades of experience coaching C-suite executives, senior government leaders, and executive women navigating complex organizations, Marcia brings both scholarly rigor and practical wisdom to every engagement. Her coaching practice centers on leaders facing pivotal transitions, organizational complexity, and the inner challenges that no title or tenure fully prepares you for. She also facilitates peer cohorts of executive women committed to growth, candor, and collective wisdom. Her approach is grounded in neuroscience, energized by deep curiosity, and shaped by a fundamental belief: the most powerful leaders are the ones willing to keep growing.
