The Executive's Course Creation Accelerator
Transform Your Expertise into a Scalable Revenue Stream & Lasting Legacy.
For Senior Corporate Executives: Effortlessly Launch Your High-Impact Online Course Without the Time Sink or DIY Headaches.
Senior corporate executives possess invaluable expertise, yet often lack the time or resources to transform this knowledge into scalable, high-impact assets. This service, the "Course Creation Accelerator," is designed to bridge that gap, offering a streamlined, expert-led path to developing a structured, high-value online course. It’s part of a curated suite focused on immediate impact and providing the "heavy lifting" for busy leaders, empowering them to command attention, influence decisions, and build a lasting legacy.
Introduction: Your Expertise is Your Greatest Asset. Are You Maximizing Its Impact?
As a senior executive, your insights are forged in experience, strategic vision, and hard-won success. You have the power to educate, inspire, and shape the future. Yet, the journey from accumulated wisdom to a polished, marketable online course can feel daunting, time-consuming, and complex. You're not looking for another lengthy coaching journey or a deep-dive course on "how to create a course." You need a solution that respects your time, values your expertise, and delivers tangible results with unparalleled speed and precision.
The Executive's Dilemma: Time vs. Impact
You know the power of thought leadership. You understand the value of packaging your knowledge. But between board meetings, strategic initiatives, and leading your teams, where do you find the hours to:
Structure a coherent curriculum from decades of experience?
Design engaging learning experiences that truly resonate?
Develop high-quality course materials that reflect your executive brand?
Navigate the technical complexities of online platforms?
The reality is, most DIY approaches or generic programs demand significant time investment – time you simply don't have to spare. Your focus needs to remain on your core responsibilities, not on becoming a course development expert.
Introducing The Executive's Course Creation Accelerator:
Your Expertise, Delivered.
This isn't just a course; it's a done-for-you service designed exclusively for senior corporate executives. We take your profound knowledge and transform it into a structured, high-value online course, handling the heavy lifting so you can focus on what you do best: leading. We bypass the lengthy learning curves, delivering immediate impact and ready-to-launch assets that position you as an undisputed authority.

Testimonials
Marshall Goldsmith
Million-selling author & world authority in helping successful leaders get even better
"I am moved to provide the highest recommendation for Marilyn. Along with her great technical job in developing my site, Marilyn has been a pleasure to work with.
Marilyn managed a coaching engagement with four very senior executives in a 'Fortune 500' client of mine. She did a wonderful job of managing the work of coaches involved - and coordinating the project.
The end result was positive, long-term change in behavior for the client executives - and a very positive experience for the coaches!
Along with her great technical job in developing my site, Marilyn has been a pleasure to work with. She has shown the highest integrity and has handled a couple of tough situations in a very professional way."
Nathaniel Branden
Pioneer in the field of Self-Esteem, Collaborator with Ayn Rand
"Marilyn is a master of her trade. She organized and hosted Thought Leader interviews; she created an atmosphere of relaxed excitement and intellectual stimulation which everyone seemed to feel and respond to from the moment they arrived.
Marilyn McLeod is an example of pure ability in action."
Ken Shelton, CEO
Executive Excellence, LLC, Ghost-writer for "7 Habits of Highly Effective People"
"Over the past 35 years, I have known and published many of the top consultants and executive coaches. More recently, at age 70, I have enjoyed being coached by a woman who has worked for 25 years with two of the top executive coaches, Marshall Goldsmith and Gary Ranker.
Marilyn brings a wealth of experience and proven tools and methodology to her coaching, and then adds her own special touch, including her amazing empathy, her ability to ask the right questions and listen deeply to understand. She then explores options and draws out solutions, rather than simply prescribing canned remedies.
Her one-on-one, customized and personalized coaching proves that she really cares about helping her clients make progress in areas that matter most to them in both the personal and professional domains of their lives. I highly recommend Marilyn McLeod, an executive coach who knows how to develop authentic leadership excellence."
Dr. Beverly Kaye
Founder and Chairwoman, Career Systems International
"I've known Marilyn for many years and hear only positive comments from individuals who know her and have worked with her.
She is deeply experienced in a variety of industries, and on a variety of subjects critical to executive coaching."
Gary Ranker
Global CEO Coach
"Marilyn has an amazing and rare ability to recognize patterns of behaviour as a coach and distill that understanding into direct pragmatic recommended actions to improve her clients' interpersonal relationships.
The result is that her coaching clients are more successful in both understanding themselves, more self aware, and are able to achieve their goals within business more efficiently due to a greater understanding of their social context.
We have collaborated as co-authors on two books about coaching and her writing skills are extraordinary.
Again because of her rare ability to recognize patterns, she is able to find the salient practical value from research and present it in a meaningful yet simplified practical manner for the reader.
I have personally seen Marilyn's talent in action over the past decade of working together on coaching projects. It is from this vital first hand experience of Marilyn as a coaching partner that gives me the vantage to attest how extraordinary she is as a coach."
Joan Clark
Executive Coach, JM Clark and Company
"What's really been useful is your very keen sense of asking questions. And not just asking, but asking targeted, thoughtful questions that then in turn make me think.
The other thing, and this may not be appropriate for everybody, but because I am such a structured person, it's reassuring, and it also helps keep me on track, that when we're done you send me a follow up note saying what we talked about and what we agreed to.
That validates what we talked about, and if we're off track it gives me a quick chance to say no, that's not really what I meant.
And then when I get ready for our meeting the next week, it also gives me a chance to refresh my memory.
That works really well. It holds me accountable, and I appreciate that."

"Marilyn, Wow! What a great job you did! It really looks just great and it's always wonderful to see my mom's sweet face.
Please let me tell you again how absolutely amazing I think you are. You are sweet, kind, brilliant, talented and generous.
Your knowledge of how to make things happen on a computer is deep and broad.
You are good at so many things for which I don't even know the names! Social media, coding, coaching, selling, writing, website design, teaching others how to write and publish books, and now you have added affiliate marketing guru to the list.
Heaven only knows what that list will contain this time next year as you continue to learn and grow. I feel so fortunate to have met you and to have you as a friend.
And thank you for making my mom visible to the world, and to me, once again. It truly warms my heart! You are worth your weight in gold!"

Her natural listening and attending skills make her one of the most qualified individuals I know to be a successful behavioral coach."
Steve Rodgers

"Marilyn is a talented, smart, sincere and wonderful person! I have known Marilyn for many years in various roles. I have known her to be very intent on being of great value.
She gives high service and support for her clients. She has helped me in a coaching role, in my book launch and in general networking connections.
I highly recommend Marilyn for a role in working with leaders to get to the next level with projects or in their businesses."
Dr. Arianne Weiner
President of Implementing Change, a Leadership Coaching and Development Consultancy for Entrepreneurs and Small Business
"Marilyn has a tremendous amount of energy and experience in supporting others to make their books happen.
She has an in-depth background of synthesizing your thoughts into actionable steps towards writing that book you have always wanted to accomplish.
Marilyn will do whatever it takes to help you move through your discomfort to get you thinking like an author, even if you have never written a book before.
She knows how to quiet your inner critic and bring out your cheerleaders! From tips on organizing your thoughts to getting them on paper into palatable chapters to reviewing your drafts, guiding your marketing, and working with you in manifesting that message you want to be sent out in the world.
And you never know what will come out of a coaching session, because as she gets to know who you are, what your clients want, and what you want to deliver to your clients bottom line, she makes connections you may not have seen before.
I'm launching a whole new product idea which helped me pivot during an economic downturn, and the genesis of the idea came from one of my coaching sessions with Marilyn."
Steve Sallen
President and CEO, Southfield, MI
"Marilyn's 360 interviews helped our team & continue to help me as a leader. If you really want to lead, you're not a leader unless people are following.
A real leader knows whether his messages get through, or if unintended messages are coming across.
It's well worth the exercise to get real data on how key people perceive my leadership & the future direction of our firm."
Geoffrey M. Cox, PhD
Former President, Alliant International University, Marshall Goldsmith School of Management
"Marilyn has a wonderful, cheerful personality that makes her a pleasure to work with. She is a thorough professional with skills and talents that are adaptable to many different kinds of projects and organizations."
