On the Record About Marni Higgins

"Marni Higgins has worked alongside my administration as an advisor with both parents and students.

"My biggest challenge in training public-facing clients is altering their perceptions about interactions with the media, from adversarial to opportunistic. That has become a much more organic process with deeply rooted results since I began teaming with Marni, who quickly was able to convey to highly competitive achievers that EQ trumps long-held beliefs in the battle for control."

"I invariably onboard new clients when something is amiss on the bottom line: a hotel shows lack of growth on its quarterly report; a restaurant is struggling with employee turnover; or a nightclub is hemorrhaging cash. In many cases, I implore those new clients to set aside a budget to include Marni's EQ training. The hospitality industry can be brutal on investors and employees alike, and often the first step in buttressing a business for success is changing attitudes and outlooks. Marni is exceptional at tying emotional intelligence to financial incentive to everyone along the food chain!"
