Workplace Effectiveness Practice Leader & Senior Consultant
Marley Bollinger, who’s been the subject of a Harvard Business School Case Study, has a passion for partnering with leaders and teams to discover the “more” of who they can be when they are part of workplaces that equip people to T.H.R.I.V.E. Her special interest is working with leaders to take the transformative journey to expand their capacities and gain access to strategic choices that positively impact performance, workplace relationships, and bottom-line results. Marley supports organizations in horizontal development – adding customized leadership/team skills and tools – but also in vertical development where leaders expand capacity to strategize new solutions. When leaders discover their current stage of leadership maturity, they gain a roadmap into their growth edge and how they can show up at their next stage of leadership mastery. With today’s increasingly complex work environments, effective leaders and teams must be equipped as agile listeners, conflict resolvers, feedback-providers, motivators, and solution architects.
Applying Innolect’s T.H.R.I.V.E framework, Marley partners with organizations to apply cutting edge, data-driven best practices that integrate peak performance with proven people-focused practices to ensure a workplace where employees want to stay and contribute their best work. She has collaborated with leadership across corporate, government and non-profit organizations to pharmaceutical, medical, legal, banking and financial institutions. Based on the client’s vision, Marley offers customized and targeted solutions that deliver measurable results. One strategy option may be for a deep listening assessment and SWOT analysis organization-wide, leading to an actionable roadmap to higher performance and engagement. Other strategies for a thriving workplace include experiential training for leaders and teams in collaboration, effective communication and feedback loops or conflict resolution. In training, Marley creates a space of authentic trust and safety with a strengths-based focus. Known for in-the-moment creativity, she establishes a space for innovative solution-building that leads to rewarding outcomes.
As an ICF Certified Coach, Marley coaches leaders across organizational levels from executive leadership to middle managers and supervisors. She's certified to debrief the Harvard-tested Maturity Assessment Profile (MAP), the My World View (MWV) and the Global Leadership Profile (GLP) to coach leaders on their path of Vertical Development with expanding capacity to navigate complexity. Having completed the Two-Year Post Graduate Practicum at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, she has a special interest in Polarity Work and each leader’s integrative process toward wholeness. Marley is also certified in the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) Personality Type assessment tools.
With extensive experience in coaching leaders in high-stakes environments, Marley offers a strong foundation in emotional intelligence and adaptive leadership skills to navigate complex workplace dynamics. To leverage each person’s unique strengths, she helps leaders discover in themselves fresh solutions that align with who they are and how they want to show up. She supports leaders in navigating high-pressure situations with curiosity and inquiry, building their capacity to bring a calm, intentional approach to collaborative solution-building and confident decision-making as they equip their people and their organizations to T.H.R.I.V.E.
