"I
have worked in close collaboration with Marion in the
development of a new and innovative project in the
field of employment mentoring. This has included the
development of a
workbook for job seekers
and a guide for mentors.
Throughout our collaboration on this project, I found
Marion to be a positive co-worker, striving creatively
to find solutions and being both flexible and
cooperative in her approach to working as a team. She
has a thorough grounding in the field of employment
counselling and the ever changing labour market. She
is also highly motivated, relentless and self-directed
in her own process of "lifelong learning" which she
pursues with passion and joy.
Marion is highly professional in her conduct and
presentation while at the same time being a very warm,
friendly and engaging person. She is a person that
truly cares about the people she works with and those
she serves. Marion is creative and effective as a
trainer and group facilitator, with clear and
confident presentation skills. She is even able to
draw in and engage participants that may initially be
reluctant or disruptive." (2001)

"Marion would bring to any task her highly developed
listening skills. She is warm, personable and
empathic, gifts which emerge from her personality,
experiences and her specific training. Her particular
area of expertise is in the field of Adult Education
and Employment issues, in the areas of teaching and
employment counselling. She has been very
conscientious about being informed with regard to
current employment needs and opportunities, as well
as, about new approaches to teaching in relation to
career choices.
Marion would bring to any suitable task her ability to
communicate in an articulate manner, her
organizational skills, her being fully reliable in
terms of completing a task on time, her strong sense
of accountability and her ability to work effectively
on a team. She is a gifted group facilitator, and
desires especially to guide persons who want to
determine the best career fit for them." (2001)

"[Marion] is very adept at gaining rapport with
clients, quickly and effectively guiding the client to
define their focus and arrive at a referral that would
best suit the client's needs. She demonstrates a
genuine respect for her clients, and celebrates their
successes with them. Clients knew that she was one of
their cheerleaders!
Marion is a skilled team player, being able to draw
out and support colleagues working on day-to-day
issues while keeping goal setting and problem solving
in focus. Once tasks have been assigned, she is able
to follow through while integrating interruptions and
new developments that inevitably occur." (1998)

"Ms.
Tansey excels in her ability to offer informative
content, organized structure, and practical learning
exercises. In addition, students have noted that Ms.
Tansey's good humour contributes to the creation of a
positive learning environment. Finally, they
especially appreciate her willingness to accommodate
their specific learning needs." (1997)

"Marion Tansey has worked [at our campus] on several
occasions and in a variety of positions over the last
eighteen months. The majority of her work has been as
the Lifeskills instructor of our Career Orientation
Program ...
I
have found Marion to be extremely well organized, well
prepared and punctual. More importantly however is the
rapport that Marion develops with her students.
Marion's students have given her excellent evaluations
during every program she has taught. In fact, word has
gotten back to our program sponsors, the Ministry of
Social Services, who now specifically request that
Marion teach the program." (1994)
