A little bit about “us” before we each introduce ourselves.

Early this year, we celebrated our 32nd anniversary, and as usual, instead of gifts we took a short trip to somewhere peaceful and pretty. This year it was at an oceanfront resort where we had a lovely view of the rocky coastline and the ever-changing sea.

We’ve worked together almost since the day we joined our lives and wouldn’t have it any other way. At first, it was in the company Don started, Marketing Partners, Inc., which later morphed into Marrs-Group Consulting & Coaching.

We also write together. And teach together. Shortly after our first book was published, Executive in Passage, we found ourselves leading workshops for small groups of executives who were in the throws of career crisis and life transition. We also started coaching individual execs who wanted deep levels of meaning and fulfillment from their work as well as the usual financial success.

Our most recent book, Grabbing Lightning: The Messy Quest for an Extraordinary Love, gives a close-up look at the journey to live love in every aspect of our lives — personal and professional. As a memoir, it illustrates how the “messy quest” can lead to the extraordinary love that’s possible for us all.

Over a decade ago, well before the book was completed, we started offering our relationship program, The Love Conversation^®. It teaches core principles and methods for making the quest for love less messy, and we’ve had the privilege of helping countless individuals and couples create extraordinary love in their most cherished relationships. Our next project is to offer that program online.

We live, work, and write happily together in our canyon home in Los Angeles.
