It&#8217;s so exciting to share my 20 years of my knowledge with you.</p>
<p>My expertise is Leadership Presence through transformation and practical methodology. I have found that we have conversations that were given to us from our historical backgrounds, cultures, families and where we live.  Some of those conversations empower us and others stop us from going forward. I am deeply committed for all of us to have a life we love which involves not reacting to the conversations that stop us.</p>
<p>I call that our&#8221; Invisible conversation&#8221;s that show up in our minds and bodies.  I have created a methodology to stay focused on our dreams and not let negative conversations stand in the way of creating a life we love. Come join me on the journey of self discovery that leads to results.  It&#8217;s simple to follow it just takes a new way of learning and practice. We all can unleash our magic and create a life we care about.</p>
<p>If you have any questions feel free to contact me or visit my web site..</p>

<p>“It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearance.”<br />
~Oscar Wilde</p>
<p>I was raised believing &#8220;smile, keep your up high and always put you best face on&#8221;.  We are flooded with products to loose weight look younger and the new age of plastic surgery. It is constantly trying to improve what we think we are not, The other side is not caring, eating what you want and believing substance is the only thing that is important.  </p>
<p>What if we take the middle and say yes the way we look is important but not everything.  Neatness, healthy teeth, dressing well and paying attention to details absolutely make a difference.  If you go into a corporation and you&#8217;re wearing jeans instead of a professional look it will make a difference.  I believe when you are on the phone or working on your blog we have a different attitude when we feel and look attractive.  We know we come across better when we are in the mood of lightness rather then in the mood of anger. Appearance is the non-verbal message that one sees first even through we may be writing or on the phone.</p>
<p>If you were selling your car or your home would you have it look the best it could so it would be attractive and appealing.  <strong>Appearance is important as long as it isn&#8217;t your obsession but your tool to present yourself in the best of light.</strong> What does your appearance say about you?  How do you want people to see you?</p>
<p>I suggest you begin to pay attention to the image you want to project. It&#8217;s okay to be conscious of your appearance and put your best foot forward.  Ask yourself the question &#8220;How do I want to show up&#8221; What do I want my appearance to say about me?  How do I feel when I look in the mirror and I love what I&#8217;m seeing?   You can do that everyday just by paying attention to your appearance. It is the small details that make the difference.</p>

<p>They say that moving is one of the highest stresses one can encounter. I am in the process of relocating and I can tell you their right.  It&#8217;s, looking at the past present and future all at the same time. </p>
<p>Looking over the past; clothes, pictures, dishes serving pieces, grandmothers china and all that was stored in the shed for many years. It all brings back old memories and seems impossible to leave.  In my case I had two homes and downsizing.  Wow!  What to do with everything? Exhausting! Fear sets in of the unknown, letting go and more letting go.  I can&#8217;t forget the boxes that are coming.  100 boxes.</p>
<p>A few weeks will pass and then the boxes will come and I&#8217;ll be ready to purge some more.  Emotionally there is so much one can handle.</p>
<p>The other side is transforming and moving to a new stage.  I can choose to be excited, curious and light about it or fight it all the way.  The choice I make will create my future and I want my future to be fun, light, curious, abundant, connected and very fulfilling.  </p>
<p>At the end of the day all of life is change/move/transform and it&#8217;s up to us how we handle it.  Today I am creating the rest of my life and I&#8217;m excited.</p>

<p>My training has been in transformational work as well as image.  I believe it is very unique to have both distinctions with as much practical experience as I have. We all have a conversation in our head that either stops us or propels us to greatness.  If we can learn to be in the driver seat of our conversations inside and out we could then reach our highest potential and be of service to others.</p>
<p>My gift is to help others be an observer of their conversations and learn to not be in reaction of their conversations that stop them from greatness. A conversation would look like, I can’t do it, I’m not good enough, I’m fat, I hate my body, no one likes me, I don’t deserve it.  </p>
<p>I have created an eBook called invisible conversations with a strategic plan to stay focused and have your goals (dreams) come true.  It works and can be converted to a workbook, game, seminars as well as high-level speeches.  I work with principals of schools and it lights them up, my corporate clients are so excited to learn the human side of results.  Just think if someone understood how they observed life, be able to be in control of what works, not be a victim of what doesn’t they could transform their negative conversation inside and outside.  </p>
<p> When the way you look, appearance, body language, (mood) and the way you observe life is in alignment you can achieve greatness.</p>
<p>Marlene Green Associates is a coaching company that has access to coaches all over the world. We use experts that are in alignment with the mission.    The goal is to transform people’s life’s inside as well as outside.</p>
<p>The dream is to change history for the new generation by stopping the historical conversations that stop greatness.   </p>

<p>The life we create exists in conversations, several conversations actually, some spoken, some written down, many unspoken, some remembered, most forgotten, yet all put together over time.  The best way to achieve our goals and learn and grow as individuals is to first understand who we are and how the conversations we have influence what we do. I refer to these conversations as our invisible conversations. </p>
<p>Our invisible conversations entail our inner dialogue of judgments, evaluations, worries, and insecurities that we are having while we are interacting with others and which can keep us from being present or prevent us from achieving our goals. These are so powerful they can drive us to success or failure. They can impact who we are in a way that can propel us forward, bring us back, or completely stop us.  They can make us dwell about the past or worry about the future. </p>
<p>Your story is the mosaic, or interconnected elements, of all the conversations occurring throughout your life.  We often forget that we have a choice in how we write this story. Some people live their lives without ever realizing what they truly care and love most about this world. One of the main reasons for this is that sometimes we aren&#8217;t very good at understanding who we are. While we may be really good at what we do, we sometimes don&#8217;t have a clue about how to control our thoughts. We can focus so much of our energy and attention on outside events that we can neglect understanding our inner self.  </p>
<p>Invisible Conversation is a guide to understanding and becoming aware of the conversations that you have about yourself and others that stand in the way of your success. Once we begin to understand why we have them and how we can change them, we can start being in control of our thoughts and not have our thoughts control us. </p>
<p>The book Invisible Conversatons  is divided into 7 distinct areas or subjects, which independently and together provide insight into the overall mosaic of invisible conversations, Each subject includes a set of practices or exercises to help you work on mastering that area.  The practices are simple and easy to follow but require regular repetition plus, most importantly, a willingness to open your mind and heart to understanding more about who you are.</p>
<p>I hope Invisible Conversations  will serve as a great guide to achieving your goals and understanding your inner self. </p>
<p>Remember, believe in yourself and you will accomplish your dreams!</p>
<p>Let you know when the book comes out.</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s have fun and create a strategy to be in the present. I believe if you&#8217;re focused and present there is the possibility to create enjoyment out of the overwhelm that happens to us all over and over again. It never ends, we need to control it by being present to the NOW</p>
<p>Present is a discipline that when practiced can be achievable.  There is only NOW everything else is in our head, in our invisible conversation that we have with ourselves It represents our fear insecurities, nervousness and worries.  Oh yes there is our conversations that represent happiness and anticipation but none of it is real.  All that is real is NOW</p>
<p>Creating a future can only come from NOW or it isn&#8217;t creation.  I am making a stand to all that reads this that I am committed to the NOW and the NOW represents, abundance, love, fun health, success and the ability to play as big as possible and even more.</p>
<p>To the present, NOW and NOW and NOW. </p>

<p>Just as energy is transformed into electricity, Leaders transform intention into reality. They don’t just think about the future, they enact the future. Clarity of thought plus focused action creates leadership power. </p>
<p>Step 1   </p>
<p>BE  PRESENT</p>
<p>Picture yourself looking into a dusty mirror.  There is a film between you and your image of yourself.  This film represents your inner conversation, inaudible to others, but preventing you from fully participating in your physical environment.  You are not present.</p>
<p><strong>What are the symptoms of not being present?<br />
</strong><br />
1.	You are speaking to someone and you realized you didn’t hear a word they said<br />
2.	You notice your leg is shaking or you catch yourself looking somewhere else<br />
3.	Your thoughts are random<br />
4.	You speak your opinions at a mile a minute rate<br />
5.	You react to others without thinking</p>
<p>What techniques assist you to Be Present?</p>
<p>1.	Attempt to repeat to yourself the last sentence of the speaker<br />
2.	Take a deep breath<br />
3.	Recognize when you are reacting or having random thoughts<br />
4.	Designate 5 minutes a day to consider your challenges and goals<br />
5.	Begin to notice everything around you<br />
6.	Look in the mirror for a few moments to see yourself clearly</p>
<p>Love to hear how this worked for you.  I am doing it and it&#8217;s keeping me very present.</p>

<p>I needed a vacation and revival of my spirit.  I forgot how it clears your head and soothes your soul.</p>
<p>Here I am in the South of France looking out my window and seeing mountains sea and landscape created by nature.</p>
<p>I have been hiking for the last two days and tonight going to a party.  Simply indulging in nature fun and good friends.<br />
Heard an owl,felt the G-D&#8217;s and marveled in beauty. </p>
<p>What I&#8217; realizing is we all need to play,relax, mediate, exercise and just slow down to smell the roses.  What else is there?  What are we working for, if not to enjoy life. Reading Vanity Fair has become my luxury and I&#8217;m enjoying it.</p>
<p>My peace is bringing me closer to what it is to be a human being and how precious time is.  I am so lucky to be alive and healthy in my mind spirit body and soul.  I welcome you to feel the same.</p>
<p>Stop and smell the flowers.  Be kind and love yourself.  and most of all<br />
look around and see what beauty is right in front of you.  </p>

<p>I recently had the privilege of working with a spectacular group of people who are committed to excellence.  They are well educated, the top in their fields and yet they are not producing excellence.  We discovered what was missing was the human side of results. Gossiping and accountability was definitely a challenge. It creates decay in an organization and undermines the very essence of our humanity. It eats away at our morale and keeps us from being present.  It causes guilt and shame.</p>
<p>We decided to take on gossiping.  We first cleared the air and declared that today was the first day of our new future.  The team leaders, (15 people) selected three leaders to represent the group and be accountable for not gossiping and not being the listener of gossip.  We came up with phrases to say when gossip started and to let all the teams know that this was the end of gossip and the beginning of supporting one another. </p>
<p>The second distinction we took on was keeping our word.   We get so busy and preoccupied with trying harder and working more that we over commit and under perform.  Firefighting is constant and priorities are put aside. There are always a few people we rely on and they are over worked.  The rest feel inadequate and have the feeling that they are spinning and getting nowhere/somewhere.</p>
<p>Keep your word and people will trust you.  The structure we put in place was to first create a capacity sheet for each team leader, what they&#8217;re working on, their priorities and what can be delegated. Get clear on what you care about; what are your promises, and the road map to get there. </p>
<p> As human beings what defines us is our word. We don&#8217;t realize the consequence of not keeping our word or gossiping. It eats away at our credibility.  They all declared that they wanted to be someone that could be counted on to look for the solutions instead of blaming others.</p>
<p>Stay tuned, it&#8217;s just the beginning.  I am so excited to share the journey of self discovery and watch the growth that comes from working on the human side of results.</p>
