My Story
I, Marie Holliday, Published Author of the book title “Awake” Financial Freedom, founded my company Parriss & Associate Resource Center in 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia. I will provide a description of services provided under my company from 2001 to current. As an expert in Program Development from 2001 to 2020, I guided the agency towards initial licensure, certification and prepared the agency for audits by regulatory bodies. I guided the agency to obtain facility licensure to operate an Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Program and to become a Licensed DWI provider. I developed the agency strategic business plan and was tasked to ensure the agency was in compliance with all State licensure statutes and regulations, as stipulated in the contract between Parriss & Associate Resource Center and the agency.
​
As a former Substance Abuse Professional (DOT Recognized), I Marie Holliday contracted with Agencies from 2001 to 2020 to evaluate employees who had violated a DOT drug and alcohol Program regulation. I made recommendation concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing and aftercare. My function was to protect the public interest in safety by professionally evaluating the employee and recommended appropriate education and/or treatment, follow up testing and aftercare, as stipulated in the contract between Parriss & Associate Resource Center and the agency.
As a Professional Business Coach, I Marie Holliday, AAS, BA, MS, started providing
Business coaching services to clients in 2001. I continue to help clients to change in the way they wish and help them go in the direction they want to go. My coaching sessions will support clients at a specific level in achieving an identified goal, as indicated in the strategic business plan. Each coaching session will build awareness, empower choice and lead to change. The primary focus of each coaching session will be to focus on helping clients to unlock their own potential, by assisting the customer to identify goals and measurable objective on the strategic business plan. Simply put, coaching involves the belief that people have the answers to the questions they are seeking within them, the role of the Professional Business Coach is to simply help the person to unlock those answers.
