"I can't thank you enough for your presentation at the Professional Women's Conference last Thursday. Your information was so well presented and very thorough. You were such an inspiration to all of us who had the pleasure of listening to you and the advice and suggestions you offered really made me stop and think about where I am financially. The women I have spoken with since the conference were very impressed and left with the feeling of "I can do this!" Marcia, you are such a dynamic presenter and you present your information in a way that is easily understood and comprehended."

"Money Wi$e Women™ has been successful in part because the issues of money management for women are timely and relevant. However, your personal participation has been the key ingredient in the effectiveness of the programs. You have a unique ability to blend your expertise with your passion as you set a tone that is simultaneously professional and warm. You have demonstrated a talent for creating a comfortable rapport with your audience and for involving them at a high level. You have a knack for bringing the audience into the process without getting off track, and your down-to-earth stories move people to action."

What's Your Financial Report Card & Why
Should You Care?
Marcia asks her audiences: What's your
most important three-digit number? No,
it's not your weight; it's your credit
score! And, your credit report is your
financial report card. Creditors use
your credit report and score to
determine whether to loan you money and
at what interest rate. Insurance
companies, landlords and employers are
also looking at your credit
report. Audience members walk away from
Marcia's presentations with the tips and
tools to make their credit report an A+
financial report card!
