About

Don’t make me talk about myself in the third person – Heather Marcus really hates that.

In the era of LinkedIn-ification, you could define me by my law degree, my work in corporate consulting, or my successes in arenas ranging from a Fortune 500 company to the volleyball court.

But we can do better than that. (Seriously, there’s nothing more boring than the whole “So, what do you do?” type of existence…)

My favorite time of year is any day that I can open every window in the house. I’ve got the timing of the names in the ‘Bluey’ theme song down pat (fellow parents will know). Sooooo many people have told me their secrets in this life – not sure what that’s about, but… wow, y’all are out there wilding.

I love the Lightbulb Moment in coaching/teaching/instructing when someone observably levels up. Possibly because I’m a philomath. Or a big sister. Or I understand that life isn’t always a zero-sum game, and we can be glad when someone else does well. Idk… Let’s kick some ass together.

Here are a few pics from days past. Click the triangles under each picture for more details:

NCAA Athlete

I played four years of college volleyball, first at Baylor and then at TWU.

This is one of my all-time favorite things I did during that time.

Talking Sisterhood

Collaboration and uplifting each other are important things to me. I got the opportunity to appear on the Tyra Banks Show to talk Sisterhood.

It’s a running theme in the initiatives I undertake. Check out Lone Star Maven, a digital platform for empowering women in business.

The Explainer-In-Chief

I became a college government professor before age 30. It was an invaluable learning experience. And –thanks to one of my amazing student-athletes – I got to experience Teacher Appreciation Night from the faculty side, which was a cool change of pace.

Coach At Heart…

I love volleyball, and I love coaching volleyball. Actually, I love helping people “level up” – it’s a reason I enjoyed coaching club volleyball so much…

But I got the chance, randomly, for a semester, to coach at my alma mater. Read the press release here.
