Coaching Approach
Eddie is a seasoned trainer, executive coach, instructor and career management expert. He has bachelor and master degrees in computer engineering, as well as coach training from Coach University and The Newfield Network. Eddie has been a member of the International Coach Federation since 1999 and is certified through the Coach Training Alliance. He brings years of experience in the areas of leadership development and workplace productivity, having trained and coached with organizations such as Citigroup, Assurant, Motorola, Kraft, and NASA.
Born in Cuba, raised in Puerto Rico, and fluent in English and Spanish, Eddie brings a bilingual, multicultural perspective to his work. He has worked with senior executives and organizations in countries that include Japan, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, and the United States. As Eddie puts it, “the more conscious an individual or group becomes, the fewer the differences that truly exist between them across continents and cultures.” Eddie’s work, therefore, emphasizes the development of leaders using an integral perspective (whole, comprehensive, complete), and encourages their transition to global citizenship.
Eddie is often asked: why did you switch from engineering to coaching? He unabashedly replies: “What I most enjoyed about programming computers and leading project teams in advanced communications, networking, and wireless was a romantic notion that I could somehow help a machine become more conscious. After 10 years, however, I discovered that I could do this much more effectively with people. Today, I coach, train, and consult with the primary objective of helping individuals and organizations become much more insightful and aware. This yields results that go beyond merely increasing knowledge and effectiveness: it unleashes individuals and organizations who project a powerful presence, exercise greater choices, and make a profound impact in the world.”
Eddie and his wife, Karen, love to spend time with their two school-aged daughters. You will frequently find them traveling throughout the Southeast United States to attend their daughters’ soccer tournaments and dance competitions. Eddie’s interests also include technology, philosophy, Zen, bicycling, snowboarding, and yoga.

“When Eddie Marmol first started coaching me, I felt like I had lost direction in my personal and professional life. Eddie helped me to assess where I was, to identify my core values, and to set and achieve goals related to my core values. The improvement in the quality in all dimensions of my life has been amazing!”
-- David M., Engineer, Florida, USA
“El coaching de Eddie Mármol ha sido transformante en mi vida:
- He roto techos en mi desarrollo como persona. Me siento más vivo, más consciente de mí mismo con el dolor y el placer que ello conlleva.
- Mi vida familiar ha cobrado un brillo nuevo a pesar de todas las dificultades. Es como estar en marcha en lugar de estar parado con el acelerador quemando el coche. O como encontrar puertas donde antes sólo habían paredes.
- En mi trabajo se me ha promocionado y opino que tengo más prestigio.
- Veo las cosas que ocurren con una perspectiva más abierta y veo posibilidades en mi vida que antes no consideraba.
- Me ha servido para hacerme consciente de que el único verdadero problema que tenemos en la vida es cómo vemos las cosas, no cómo las cosas “son”. La perspectiva está como posibilidad de ampliar la visión de la vida.”
-- Luis L., Director General, España
