Hello, my name is Marianne Mandel.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles with my five siblings and loving parents. My parents always had a strong work ethic which I followed. Attending an all girls high school was a transformative experience where I identified my core values, honed my skills and recognized my strengths, shaping me into who I am today. After high school, I enriched my experiences by studying abroad in Europe for a year. After graduating, I took a leap and landed my first job as a regional sales person for Motorola Communication.

After 38 years as an accomplished global sales executive, I made a decision to embark on a new journey as a work and life balance coach. I have a strong desire and passion to give back and make a positive impact on other lives.

I am very involved with my community so that I may best serve others. I currently serve as Vice President of Membership on the Center Theatre Group Affiliates Executive Board of Directors; I’ve been selected by the Didi Hirsch Mental Health Foundation to volunteer on their 988 crisis hotline. I am also a volunteer at the Shea Riding Center volunteering on their equestrian therapy team. Finally, I am also a coach on behalf of The Women Like Us Foundation for women in Kenya, guiding them to discover their best selves while creating a happier, more balanced, and secure life for themselves and their families.

To keep my mind and body active I love to play pickleball, bookclub, yoga, meditate as well as walking on the beach, traveling, and cooking.
