Who you will be working with
Dr. Marianne Olaniran
Known as The Comeback Doctor™, Dr. Marianne Olaniran, DrPH, MPH, MS, is a confidence and prosperity strategist, an award-winning social and behavioral scientist, a keynote speaker, an international best-selling author, and the founder and CEO of Joyfully Transcend®.
She brings two decades of experience in professional practice and social and behavioral science research, across Deloitte, UNICEF, Harvard-affiliated hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, and the U.S. Federal Government, and a decade of coaching high-achieving women through life’s pivotal transitions.
Her peer-reviewed research informs her work on identity, confidence, and self-perception, and her career in corporate finance and accounting shapes how she teaches women to turn reclaimed confidence into prosperity. Her teaching draws on social and behavioral science, neuroscience, and spiritually anchored principles.
She is the author of The Confidence Comeback Code. In Elite she works with a small number of women at a time, because this is the level of attention the work requires.
Beyond her work, she is happily married to a Harvard‑trained physician‑scientist, and they have three children.
