The Top 3 Success Principles of Leadership
# 1 Be clear on how you are being perceived, and how you relate to others.
# 2 Be willing to act on intuition in the face of fears (the fear of rejection, fear of looking foolish, fear of failure). You are being called upon to grow as a leader.
# 3 Take 100% responsibility for your life and your results.
An approach based on proven success principles resulting in greater inclusion, lower turnover and higher retention rates where professionals thrive in a culture, empowered to lead with VALUE, and speak their results with greater confidence and trust in their vision.

Why it Works
It's the self-awareness component that's not often emphasized in professional development and yet where we find the greatest shifts made in leadership levels and impact. The how-to business advice on what you should DO typically overshadows who to BE, that mindful element of listening to others and tapping into your intuition. Yet it's that self-reflection gene and aligned energy which when you tap into, accounts for successful leadership.
Found in all live or online programs are two major components: (1) the professional development focused on career leadership, how-to business strategies and communication skills and (2) the personal development success principles modules focused on self-leadership and mindset shifts. Together, these proven professional and personal strategies when implemented step-by-step, are shown to create breakthrough results which stick. Participants reach out years later and share, that the exercises have remained memorable because they had experienced them from attending a live or online program.

"What I love about Gutsy Leadership training, is that Marisa doesn’t just tell the audience what to do in order to advance in their careers. She consistently gives concrete examples of frequent scenarios that everyone in the room can relate to at all levels. Her exercises engage the entire room and are always followed up by specific actionable strategies we can immediately implement in our careers. Marisa has led training programs for my firm since our first meeting where I attended as a guest participant at an event she held for American Express. She once again delivered with actionable content, gutsy strategy tools and experiential engagement across our offices. We still hear women “going gutsy” everyday by using these same strategies when they communicate at work."

Training that fits any classroom
"Marisa recently led a training seminar for the NYU Community of Women in Medicine. What impressed me most about Marisa was her ability to swiftly shift the whirlwind energy of the room as attendees entered carrying all their stresses, insecurities, and expectations, and shifted it to a powerfully focused energy. Through an effective 2 hour session she was able to help participants reconsider their purpose in their every day and tap into their unique value. On a personal note, Marisa helped me realize my uniqueness. I had always been someone who kept her head down and did what was expected of me and what I expected of myself, but now realizing what I personally have to bring to the table has helped me recognize my strength and power.
If you have any questions regarding the value of Gutsy Leadership programs, reach out. l would be happy to talk to you more about it."

"Marisa –we met at last year’s gutsy leadership training you led with American Express which I attended. You also coached me after that event and gave me powerful advice which I put to use right away and still lean on! Thank you so much for returning with a set of amazing workshops exclusively for RBC. Your presentation was incredibly insightful. I took copious notes and will write a summary for our internal website with your contact details."

"I approached Marisa Santoro to conduct a Gutsy Leadership workshop for my company, American Express Open’s women’s interest network. Marisa delivered a powerful session to a standing-room-only audience. She made us aware of everyday subtle actions and words we use that diminish our appearance of confidence in the workplace and taught quick fixes to turn that around immediately after the training. She taught us to break the “perfection paralysis” cycle and to “speak without apology.” There were so many questions in the room, we ran out of time and Marisa was kind enough to regroup in the lobby for those who could stay late. I highly recommend her workshops to anyone and am so thankful for her work with our team!"
Nell Acosta
Senior Manager, American Express Open
"Marisa led our first national webinar exclusively for Women in Public Finance earlier this year, which was complete with content and engaging questions focusing on Owning Your Authority as a Thought Leader with Influence. Coast to coast we received excellent feedback on this Gutsy Leadership program. Thank you!"
Marina Scott
Treasurer, Salt Lake City. Director of Learning and Development Women in Public Finance
"Marisa, thank you! I have seen incredible results by setting boundaries in my practice and saying NO where I need. I absolutely needed this course. I’m now setting up expectations with patients, creating and setting my office policy and training my staff – editing all our emails based on your advice. Marisa helped me through a difficult transition in my job. She guided me to find the right words to discuss my resignation. It’s hard to be a woman and balance the alpha and beta in your job. I’m a beta at heart and have a hard time not being walked all over at work. I also have trouble asserting my alpha side at work and getting respect. Before working with you Marisa, I was a complete pushover at work. Then I started standing up for myself in ways that I never thought possible. The 3 most significant improvements I made were in my new job, a new approach to interactions with my boss. A new approach to emails. If anyone questions the value of your program, please contact me. I’ll be happy to talk to them about it"

"Marisa – thank you so much for a super-engaging session at our Wall Street office today! I found the content of the program extremely useful and relevant. Everything you taught was so specific and actionable, and judging by the reaction around the room, others did as well! I am looking forward to the next one – Part 2 in Jersey City!!!"

"Marisa,
Thank you for making this a successful event for NYU! Your program was perfect. You were warm, personable and communicated your ideas in a clear and concise fashion. Everyone who attended left glowing, learned a lot and so enjoyed themselves. We are keeping you mind for more in the future! Thank you again!"
