Marina Piscolish

Hello! I’m Marina Piscolish, Ph.D. Principal of MAPping Change, LLC.

Managing change, facilitating collaborative decision-making and resolving conflict are perhaps today’s most critical leadership skills. I am passionate about helping leaders, teams, organizations and communities be change-ready and conflict-capable.

Leader-like courage is easier to call forth when we feel competent and confident.  This is where I can help. With mindful collaboration skills, you can support others as they re-imagine what’s possible, re-energize and re-commit.  With mindful conflict skills, transform what is unjust, unhealthy or unsustainable in your setting into more principled solutions, more powerful, authentic connections and a healthier culture.  My developmental approach will meet you where you are, work at your pace, and leave you with fresh insights, practical skills and durable agreements.

International Coach Federation (ICF) since 2018.
