Dr. Marvin (Marv) Marshall, certified as a “Distinguished Educator,” was one of America’s leading experts in reducing stress that is so prevalent in work relationships, schools, and homes. He was an author, educator, and international professional speaker (25 countries on 5 continents). He demonstrated how to use authority without coercion so relationships are never adversely affected.
His Without Stress® approach in living, parenting, and disciplining is totally noncoercive—but never permissive. He was the author of a number of landmark and award-winning books.
His approach is transformational—as he shared many commonly used counterproductive and ineffective practices—and then replaces them with more effective ones.
