She notes that this phenomenon occurs because most training programs focus on addressing symptoms rather than tackling the root causes. For instance, learning active listening is beneficial, but it does not eliminate the persistent inner critic. Additionally, these programs often halt at providing insights, which, while valuable, are insufficient for enduring behaviour change. True transformation, requires not only insights but also the development of robust mental habits, with behaviour change being 20% insight and 80% habit-building. Marcelle's solution focused programs address the source, the underlying factors that hinder individuals and teams from achieving peak performance. By identifying unconscious biases, erroneous thoughts, disempowering emotions, and counterproductive behaviours that contribute to suboptimal performance outcomes, her programs create new resources that empower individuals to achieve their personal, professional, and organizational goals.
