WANDA MARIE

Wanda Marie is a Business Consultant, Executive and Personal Coach, Trainer, Inspirational Speaker and Writer. She has 15 years experience working with individuals and organizations in identifying performance gaps, recommending corrective action, creating and delivering training programs and providing one-on-one coaching for maximum results.

Wanda Marie is
the founder and Executive Director of the “Foundation for Living Inner Peace, a California non-profit organiztion dedicated to personal change and global transformation. She is the author of “Living Inner Peace: A Personal Guide to Greater Happiness," and creator of the “Living Inner Peace” Training Programs.

Wanda Marie graduated from Sawyer Business College in 1975 studying legal sciences.  In 1983, after working as a legal assistant and paralegal for several years, she went to work as a legal administrator for Toyota Motor Sales, USA, helping to establish their in-house Legal Department. She developed programs, strategies and systems for associates to use for running the department smoothly and efficiently, and supervised a team of day and evening support staff.

Wanda was always drawn to the healing arts and in 1994 she left a successful corporate career to pursue another passion, helping people to create positive and lasting change in their lives.  She completed a six-month certification course in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (for behavior modification), a two-year training program through Coach University for Life and Career Coaching, and received certification as an Executive Master Coach through the Behavioral Coaching Institute. She completed a three-month certification course in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and a two-year licensing program through the Agape University of Transformational Studies and Leadership, receiving a license as a Spiritual Counselor.

As Wanda Marie changed career paths and launched her private practice, she quickly became a sought after Spiritual Counselor, and Life and Business Coach, counting among her clients the late Yolanda King, eldest daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Coretta Scott King.  A collaborative relationship developed helping them realize their shared mission, to bring about more peace and unity to all of humanity. 

In 2001, Wanda Marie joined forces with Yolanda King and accepted a position as Executive Director of her company, Higher Ground Productions, Inc.  In 2005, Yolanda King and Wanda Marie co-authored the book, “Embracing Your Power in 30-Days: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Personal Freedom.” In 2007 Wanda Marie wrote and published, Living Inner Peace: A Personal Guide to Greater Happiness." The partnership between Wanda Marie and Yolanda King ended in May, 2007, when Ms. King suddenly passed away from heart disease. During Wanda’s association with Higher Ground Productions, she transformed a stagnant business into a thriving venture, built a strong management team, and aggressively pursued and took to market new product ideas.

As a spiritual counselor, professional coach, and NLP Practitioner, Wanda has a deep understanding of human psychology and works with teams and individuals in such a way that inspires, empowers and motivates, raising self-esteem and increasing productivity.  She has the ability to lead individuals to a place of high performance and excellence for achieving amazing results, through values-based goals, strategic planning, and appreciative inquiry.

On a personal note, Wanda has two adult children and resides in Los Angeles, California with her husband of more than 13 years.  She enjoys traveling and between her work and spiritual studies, she has traveled to Egypt, India, England, France, Italy, Germany, Greece and the Netherlands.
