Testimonials

“I’m delighted to share the commendations for a colleague and mentor, Dr. Marcia Ruben. Her appearance on the New Wealth Wave Podcast was exceptional, garnering positive acclaim. Dr. Ruben masterfully illustrated the intersection of Neuroscience with Financial Behavior in a manner that was insightful but also accessible and relatable. Her dedication to exploring the forefront of leadership and brain science is pivotal in shedding light on the critical role of our internal dialogue in the journey toward financial healing—a heartfelt bravo to Dr. Ruben for her invaluable insights into this perennial subject.”

Dr. Joaquin Wallace
Adjunct Professor, Golden Gate University,
Host of The New Wealth Wave Podcast 

“Professor Ruben provides a constructive and non-threatening atmosphere for her students to learn the foundations of our personal brand of leadership. Her curriculum is rich in content but extremely useful for finding one’s own strengths and weaknesses. Her assignments drill down and build a foundation to grow on as her students climb the corporate ladders. I will not hesitate to contact her in the future as I climb the rungs of leadership. Thanks, Marcia.”

“Dr. Marcia Ruben brings expertise and sensitivity to her executive consulting that is hard to find. As “The Tangle Doctor,” she approaches assignments with a spirit of inquiry and an approach to resolving problems solidly grounded in best practices, the latest research, and thorough evaluation of her clients’ strengths and styles. Dr. Ruben worked with me and my management team during a very difficult period. Because of her work, I gained a deep understanding of myself and each of my managers in our working relationships. With this in hand, we worked collaboratively on a plan of action designed to optimize the likelihood of success. With her help, I navigated my organization through a period of tumult that could have easily brought us down.”

“Dr. Marcia Ruben is my go-to expert on barriers to organizational success and maximizing my own effectiveness as an executive. I recommend “The Tangle Doctor” highly.”

“Marcia has a unique ability to pinpoint organizational structural and environmental challenges and propose solutions for both. Her equal skills at organizational IQ and EQ make her uniquely qualified to solve the most challenging problems, particularly the ones that have recurred multiple times and the organization considers them unsolvable.”

E. Michael Gray
Customer Experience Expert, Business Process Excellence

“Working with Marcia was interesting, informative, intriguing, and insightful. She was instrumental in formulating a strategic plan for quarterly Marketing Team meetings that had a purpose and closure. In addition, Marcia’s talents in coaching senior management gave structure to frequently misunderstood efforts. She was always available, always flexible, and always willing to go to the next level to increase communications - something not easy with engineers and marketers. In addition, Marcia developed a fantastic sales and marketing program that is still going strong. I loved working with her and recommend her highly to any organization looking to improve their efforts.”
