Marcia Bench is a transformational catalyst, spiritual business mentor, #1 best-selling author, and trainer, with more than 30 years of experience working with coaches and other entrepreneurs. She is recognized worldwide as a leading expert in scaling your services business, coaching, entrepreneurship and energy alignment.

A former attorney, Marcia has authored 27 books including Conscious Client Attraction, Career Coaching: An Insider’s Guide (now in its Third Edition), the Amazon #1 best seller Become an Inspirational Thought Leader and The Tao of Entrepreneurship.

Marcia realized in her teens that she had an important life’s purpose to fulfill, and began a quest to discover it. Throughout her years in high school, college and law school she pursued personal and spiritual growth. It was finally when she became a part-time entrepreneur in 1986 that she knew she was honing in on her purpose.

Her first business was a consulting, speaking and consulting firm helping individuals with business start-up, marketing and business development. She also got involved with state entrepreneurial politics and was visible in the Portland, Oregon area entrepreneur community.

She then formed her own law firm and, after just 2 years, wrote her first book, When 9 to 5 Isn’t Enough, later published by Hay House, and embarked on a national book/seminar tour. She sold her home, law practice and possessions to buy an RV and travel the country for 10 months, helping people do what they love for a living. She shared the stage with Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Deepak Chopra, and other notable speakers.

Marcia discovered coaching in 2000 after a stint as an Executive Vice President in a career management firm, working personally with more than 500 executives in designing their own professional success and navigating job transitions. She absolutely loved the power of coaching to help clients uncover the answers they sought for themselves.

In 2001, she founded the first career coach training organization in the world, Career Coach Institute, and has grown it to a worldwide community with students in 50 countries.

She has been active throughout her career in supporting entrepreneurship through her writing, speaking, and volunteering. She was on the Oregon Governor’s Committee for Minority and Women Business Participation, and was selected as a facilitator at the White House Conference on Small Business.

Marcia is a frequent speaker and media guest and lives with her husband and Havanese dog Roxy in Portland, Oregon. She continues to help talented, ambitious women coaches, authors and speakers have a maximum impact on the world as they scale their businesses and become global thought leaders.
