“Marni and I have known each other for about seven years, almost eight years, and we worked together professionally in 2019 when my husband and I launched our Functional Nutrition program. Once we kind of created the program, we soon realized we did not have the time to devote to a really proper marketing plan to kind of launch it. Marni came alongside us at that point and helped us with our marketing plan from beginning to end. It included the CRM, email sequencing, promotional videos, setting up inhouse events, helping coordinate with other businesses for cross promotion, and really just helped us elevate our marketing plan so that it was ultimately a really successful launch of Functional Nutrition for us. Marni has a really wide range of business experience and a great ability to kind of come in, figure out quickly what needs to be done, and then come up with a plan and help you stay accountable to it.I love her efficiency, she’s super easy to work with, and she’ll make sure you stick to your plans.”
Dr. Aliya Gard

“I had a strategy session with Marni and literally within just 10 minutes into the conversation, she helped me identify areas where I was leaving money on the table in my business and we quickly built a solid system in place to properly manage my leads. I was so impressed by how quickly and astutely she was in tuned to my needs and provided an easy to follow plan for a quick return. Marni definitely knows her stuff and I highly highly recommend her as a business strategy coach for anyone who wants to uplevel their game.”
Dr. Angela Tran

“Marni has a unique way of making you see the big picture, giving you a roadmap to getting there and then being there to support you each step of the way. I had attended so many social media lectures, but Marni’s put it all together and made it make sense. A real gift to learners like myself!”
Sherie Bryan

“Working with Marni has been a game changer for me! She has helped me get a better handle on how to run a business, build my confidence, create marketing strategies and so much more. Her ability to create excitement in what I do has given me the push I was looking forward to building a profitable and successful business.”
Sherrie Medeiros

“Marni is a force of nature. I have never seen anyone learn a brand new concept and implement it so quickly and so flawlessly. She is full of talent and intellect. And her personality is augmented by her sense of humor. I am so grateful to call Marni a friend and a mentor.”
Manuj Aggarwal
CTO - TetraNoodle Enterprises
“Marni is an informative, authoritative, and dynamic speaker. She recently addressed attendees from the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce at a breakfast event on the topic of marketing. Attendees were engrossed and engaged and learned many new things from Marni that they can implement in their own businesses.”
Karen Shore
Social Media Manager
“Marni came to the table with many ideas after we spoke about what my business was doing and what changes I needed and wanted to make. She clearly explained the process and an action plan for me to execute. Her expertise and her confidence make me more motivated to bring the strategy to completion.”

“Marni Blythe is saving my sanity! Within just a few sessions Marni has provided tools and processes to increase my productivity while decreasing my stress level. Her clarity and ability to see the big picture has helped me get beyond the countless hours working in my business to working on my business. I’m grateful our paths have crossed through the wonderful services of the Small Business Center and plan to continue working with Marni to keep my pocket FULL!”
Carla Payne
Certified Aging Life Care Professional
“I wanted to talk a little bit about my working with Marni Blythe and her company Full Pocket Coaching and what it has done for us in our practice and me personally. I have been through countless consultants and practice management groups in the past and I feel like my biggest frustration is that every single one of those groups it was continually about my in office procedures for my day one, my day two, and my patient care plans. And I felt like the biggest thing that I was lacking in any of those situations is I knew how to take care of my patients. I just didn’t know how to get my business running efficiently.
And I think that the level of frustration that I would experience made it not enjoyable to be in practice. At times. The stress and frustration of running a business versus being able to take care of my patients was starting to wear on me both up north and now down here in North Carolina. So when I started working with Marnie, my partner and I brought her in to help us organize our business and get our business running like we knew it should at the time. We were not running regular meetings.
We had a lot of ideas, but things never seem to get done. We were definitely frustrated in the way that we felt things. Just working and working and working and just not seeing any progress. Almost like we were spinning our tires in the mud. Within a short period of time and working with Marty, we had made some dramatic changes in the way that the business operated.
Her fractional integration techniques were second to none. It was like nothing I had ever utilized before in the past. She was able to get the two of us on the same page and then not only that, help us to communicate that to our staff, make sure that we got the right people into the right roles, and make sure that we were doing what needed to be done to help the business actually run appropriately. A side benefit of all that is that we generated a tremendous amount more revenue with a whole lot less stress and effort and taking our work home. I felt like we were working working all the time and not getting to enjoy any of the fruits of our labor due to being so busy.
And Marni has literally taken us from A to Z and opened up so much more time and efficiency in our office and given us a lot more structure, and that was the structure that we’re so desperately needing, but just unable to get put together for ourselves. On top of that, she’s helped us realize that there is a level of practice for us that we couldn’t even see at that point in time because of our insufficiencies in our procedures and how our office ran and she helped us from the ground up. I feel like we’re running a business now. We have a structure, we have regular and productive staff meetings. No more three hour meetings where we got nothing done in an hour we walk out of there and we’ve all got an action plan and we are accomplishing more in a month than we used to in a year and it’s really cool to see another side benefit is we have happier employees than we ever have.
Our employees are ecstatic to see us moving in a direction versus just talking over and over again and I bring these up because I think these are common frustrations throughout anybody in my profession. Any time I get a chance to talk with other chiropractors these seem to be some of the same things that they voice as frustrations in their life and practice and they don’t have to be. After ten years of doing it up north and four years down here I almost had resigned myself to this is the way that it is and there’s just no way around it and Marty was able to help us see that that wasn’t the case and then give us direction and insight and empower us to take control of our business and take control of our lives and now I feel it right here. I enjoy coming into the office every day. I don’t feel stressed like I used to and there are finally more hours in the day.
Then there is work and I get to do the things that I really enjoy. I’m an avid exercise enthusiast and I have three young children and I love spending time with them and before I almost would feel guilty spending time with them because I knew there was so much work that needed to be done and it’s not like that anymore. I feel like I’m getting my life back and I feel like we are seeing progress in our practice like we have never seen before. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her entire system and program is designed to help you take everything to the next level, get you back your life, get you back your business and decrease the stress that seems to take its toll on each and every one of us.
So if you have any other questions I’m more than happy to have you reach out to me like I said, my name is Dr. Chris Sullivan and I’m in Cary North Carolina. You can find me on Google, reach out. I’d be more than happy to talk to you in person about what Marni has been able to do for us and how grateful and appreciative we are of everything that she has brought to the table for us. Be well.”

From the people who booked her
“Marni was an incredible speaker for our group today. She is relatable, and her energy truly lights up the room. What I appreciated most was that she gave us actionable steps we could take with us to become stronger leaders.
Our team especially connected with the idea of ‘soul care’ and the importance of caring for yourself so you can lead others with greater human intelligence. At the end of the day, genuine human connection matters above all else. I’m so grateful Marni joined us, and I know she would be an incredible speaker for any group.”
Christina Helwig
CEO, Advocare
“Marni was an incredible keynote speaker for our retreat. She brought energy, human insight, and genuine authenticity to the room. Everyone walked away with fresh perspectives, renewed motivation, and practical tools to make our everyday work better. Her broad business knowledge allowed her to connect with our group on multiple levels and make the presentation highly relevant to us. We were thrilled to have her.”
Whitney Durley
Advocare
“I’m the Chief Clinical Officer, and was luckily one of the ones who was involved in selecting Marni Blythe to come and do our keynote address for our annual doctors’ meeting. We just wrapped up. You can probably hear the buzz in the room. It was an astounding success. I think our doctors and hygienists and leaders, all are going home with some great insights that they could put into practice on Monday morning. Couldn’t recommend her higher. Have her in, you won’t regret it.”
Dr. Ryan Holmes
Chief Clinical Officer, Bright Direction Dental
“We just had Marni speak at our annual event here in New Buffalo, Michigan. She did a fantastic job. We had our hygienists, office managers, dentists, teams all together, and I think she just did a tremendous job connecting all the dots for the team members. And I think everyone left feeling good with clear action items. So definitely great having her here.”
Steve Wright
CEO, Bright Direction Dental
“The customized session for our group was exactly what we needed to LEVEL UP! She understood what we were looking for, tailored the content perfectly to our team, and delivered it in a way that was engaging, relevant, and impactful. It was a perfect fit for our group! I would highly recommend Marni.”
Amanda Stawychey
Vice President of Operations, Bright Direction Dental
“We’re here tonight at the Piedmont Comprehensive Study Club in Shelby, North Carolina. I have the privilege of visiting different study clubs every week, but tonight, we’re in an incredible venue with an amazing group of people who are learning and sharing together.
That’s the true strength of a study club: collaboration. One plus one makes eleven, not two. That’s the value of bringing people together.
Marni’s presentation tonight was brilliant. I first saw her speak at our symposium, and she brings incredible energy into a room. She gets people talking, sharing ideas, laughing, and connecting.
Marni has the emotional intelligence to connect with anyone and bring out the best in everyone. There are often quiet people in the audience, but she has a remarkable ability to get the entire room interacting, working together, and growing together.”
Gary Dickenson
CEO, Seattle Study Club
“The purpose of today’s study club was to bring in Marni as a consultant and share her perspective from overseeing dental practices across multiple specialties. It was a valuable opportunity for our dentists to learn from the skills and strategies she has developed and consider how to implement them in their own practices. Everyone was highly engaged, took a lot of notes, and walked away with practical ideas they can put into action. Marni’s extensive experience in the dental industry makes her a trusted resource, and it was truly an honor to have her with us today.”
Nina McKim
From the seats
“This morning I had the privilege of attending a local Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce event with a spot-on presentation from Marni Blythe, Business Coach & Owner of Full Pocket Coaching. I was particularly impressed with the very relevant tool-kit of information she presented for business owners. She discussed, in detail, tips on lead generation, including trends and benchmarks, understanding the buying process, as well as lead nurturing and marketing automation. Her goal is to help businesses “explode ROI.” Adding humor and relatable themes to her presentation really kept everyone engaged. Marni earns my thumbs up, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any business owner to help them work smarter, not harder and to increase their ROI.”
Michelle Santos
Customer Success Onboarding Specialist, Genesys
“I attended the “Lead Generation, Nurturing and Marketing Automation” seminar by Marni. A complex and complicated topic and Marni walked us through the process with 30 slides and with clarity. She clearly demonstrated her ability in helping you find the right strategy to design systems to grow your business! I would recommend you check her out when it comes to marketing! Her high energy is contagious, too!”
Frieda Lin
“I attended an early morning marketing seminar by Marni and was very impressed by her knowledge and ability to present an information dense and cohesive presentation! I learned a lot and cannot wait to brainstorm ways to implement the personalized marketing approaches she taught us!”
Linda Nguyen
Food & Travel Content Creator and Portrait Photographer
“I really enjoyed Marni’s presentation. She is incredibly inspiring, and her message is both uplifting and practical. I left feeling more confident in my leadership skills and believing that I can begin creating positive change in my practice tomorrow. Marni showed me how to lead in a way that is not only more productive, but also more human.”
Dr. Alessandra Ritter
Ritter Endodontics
“Marni Blythe is impactful, insightful, and inspirational. She is an extremely talented speaker whose vulnerability and emotional intelligence speak volumes, allowing her to connect deeply with the entire audience. It was an absolutely amazing evening.”
Dr. David Lee Hill
Chapel Hill Oral Surgery
“There is always a need to step outside clinical dentistry and talk about what else matters in the life of a practice. Marni’s presentation really hit home. She helped us explore why we do what we do, where we want to go in the future, and how to put the right people in the right seats to get there.
This easily could have been an all-day workshop, or even an entire weekend, because there is so much value in learning how to implement the EOS framework within a practice. Marni is an engaging and interactive speaker who kept the entire audience involved and elevated the conversation. I highly recommend her.”
Dr. Riddhi Patel
Harmony Oral Surgery
“Marni Blythe led a great practice management workshop for the Carolina Collaborative Study Club. I came hoping to connect with other practice owners and gain practical techniques and strategies, and the session absolutely delivered. The interactive discussions and Q&A helped us identify actionable ideas we could bring back to our practices. Marni is highly engaging and presents concepts in a clear, approachable way. I especially appreciated how she ended by asking us what we would start implementing the following week. It gave us a clear first step and helped us work backward from there.”
Dr. Angie Averill
“Marni was amazing. She was engaging, interesting, and thought-provoking. I’ve been a dentist for 23 years, and she got me thinking differently about my practice, what I could improve, and what I need to do to take it to the next level.
I would recommend her to anyone. As dentists, we’re good at dentistry, and some of us understand certain aspects of running a business. But when you start thinking about everything a CEO, CFO, and COO must manage, it becomes too much for one person.
I practice in a small town. I want to take care of my community and deliver exceptional service, but I can’t expect myself to also be the Chief Operating Officer. I need someone who can bring that knowledge and business expertise into my practice.
That’s what Marni offers. She brings a higher level of business acumen while allowing independent practices like mine to maintain the values and exceptional care that matter to us.
The two can come together. I don’t have to do it all.”
Dr. Kendalyn Lutz-Craver
“This was a great presentation, especially as I’m starting my own practice. Marni broke everything down in a way that was digestible, easy to understand, and practical to implement as I get the ball rolling. She made the session lively and encouraged me to think about things I don’t normally consider because I’m so focused on doing the dentistry. It’s easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day details, but this presentation helped me step back and think about the bigger picture: how I want my practice to operate, what my goals are, and how I’m going to achieve them.”
Drs. William Linder and Kyle Murdock
“She is very motivational and engaging. She is inspirational and shares a lot of personal experiences you can relate to. I haven’t heard from a great motivational speaker in quite a while so I’m glad I got to be a part of Brighter Together and experience what she is about. She was great. I recommend having her speak at events as I feel she can relate to the crowd and she shares amazing experiences and valuable information.”
Christina Peters
Bright Direction Dental
“I just got through with Marni’s conference, her seminar. It is amazing. It is not only going to give you information and life lessons to put in practice at your job, but it is also going to give you stuff to do to implement in your own life at home to make you successful all the way around.”
Jamie Fanning, RDH
Bright Direction Dental
“Engaging and easy to follow. Marni’s content was relatable and immediately able to apply to personally and professionally!”

From leaders who’ve worked with her
“It is with great pleasure and complete confidence that I write these positive words about Marni Blythe. I worked alongside her for several years as our firm benefited from her immense talent of training, public speaking and coaching of others. She inspired many to perform at high levels, while fueling our corporate growth tremendously. Her business acumen and grasp of C-suite demands is totally over the top, and when the opportunity and need arises once more, I will most certainly contract her to assist and guide my executive team and fellow employees. She is entertaining, speaks from the heart on stage, and is quite easy to follow and understand.
Should you and your business need assistance, Marni is the one to bring aboard. You won’t be sorry.”
Phil Mims
CEO, Nussentials
“Marni Blythe is the epitome of leadership and emotional intelligence. Her compelling blend of heart and logic is a catalyst for genuine change, paving the way for exponential growth and unparalleled financial success. When Marni speaks, transformation happens. A true powerhouse in the world of leadership expertise.”
Anne Duffy
CEO, DEW
“Marni brought a level of strategic insight, operational discipline, and leadership that has elevated every aspect of our business.”
Dr. Brent Delong
Gaston Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
“I’m Dr. Leigh Miller, owner of Miller Concierge TMJ Physical Therapy. We currently have three practices in the Triangle, with another opening soon in Greenville, North Carolina.
I first met Marni Blythe through the Seattle Study Club and was immediately impressed by her understanding of people and her ability to educate and inspire those around her. I later hired her to work with my own practice, and she has been instrumental in our growth. She meets with me and my office manager monthly, has helped us systematize our operations, and has made us far more organized than we have ever been. Today, we are considering a level of expansion I never thought was possible.
Marni has also helped me grow personally as a leader. I have struggled with self-doubt and the belief that I’m never doing enough. She continually reminds me that our beliefs are not necessarily reality. She has taught me to pause between what happens and how I respond, which has been invaluable because I tend to be reactive and impulsive. Those lessons, combined with everything she has done for our business, have helped us thrive.
Marni teaches you how to separate your thoughts and fears from what is actually true and beneficial for you and your business. If I could summarize her message in one sentence, it would be: Be your authentic self. That is easy to say and hard to do, but Marni breaks it down and shows you how authenticity can become something you truly live, not just a hashtag.”
Dr. Leigh Miller
Owner, Miller Concierge TMJ Physical Therapy
“I would definitely recommend Marni to other doctors and dentists. I think it’s really valuable. These are aspects that we learn and are taught or come natural to us. And so understanding team culture and innovation and how to grow as a business is really valuable. And I really think other doctors will really benefit from this service.”
Dr. Patel
