Where Purpose Meets Value
Marian story

I built the Green Path to help people make meaningful change that lasts.

For years, I watched teams and organizations wrestle with change models that looked good on paper but rarely created lasting results. The Green Path was built to change that. It’s a practical, proven approach that turns transformation into something teams can actually practice—real, steady, and confidence-building.

The Green Path helps organizations, coaches, and team leads guide change that’s faster to adopt, easier to sustain, and clearer to everyone involved. It strips away complexity and focuses on what drives real progress; making transformation approachable, achievable, and aligned with measurable outcomes.
At its heart, The Green Path puts people first. It gives leaders and teams the tools to make meaningful change that lasts.

Mission & Vision

Making change that sticks: real, human, and lasting.

With a background in learning design, change management, and a Ph.D. in Leadership in Adult Learning, she turns cognitive science into practical systems that drive measurable skill growth. Through the Green Path, the Proficiency Taxonomy, and her behavior-first models, Marian shows organizations how to design micro-behaviors, build alignment, and make improvement visible and sustainable.
