As for charisma, Marsha has it in abundance. Star quality, as defined by Marsha, is an undeniable magnetism that transcends looks, age, and background. You don’t necessarily have to be born with it but can build it from the ground up, which she started doing as a teenager, with help from mentors who believed in her. “One of the main things I teach is to surround yourself with positive people you can learn from, and who will help you grow as a person.” When you meet Marsha, you can’t help but be drawn to her, and once you’ve met her you will never forget her, which is exactly what she teaches to her models. “Whether or not one of my models makes it big, I want to help them believe in themselves and to acquire the skills and confidence to be a success, to be unforgettable, no matter where life takes them.” It’s important to Marsha that people feel good about themselves and to never stop believing in their own future. “I’m your biggest cheerleader and your biggest fan. The world of modeling can be unstable, but people always know they can count on me to be honest, trustworthy and dependable.”
With 48,000 models and talent in her agency’s database and clients such as Vogue, COVERGIRL, Seventeen magazine, Ralph Lauren and Proctor and Gamble, just to name a few, Marsha has achieved extraordinary results from her ability to inspire others to go after their own dreams. In Marsha’s own business future she will be partnering soon with ABC Channel 27’s Kristen Ledlow, who was also featured in a recent issue of Tallahassee Woman,
on a makeover reality segment called Magical Makeovers with Marsha Doll. Whether or not it’s her strength of character or charisma that makes her the gold standard in her field, when it comes down to it, Marsha’s key to business success is delivering star
quality results. If a client or a model asks, “Can I count on Marsha?” she answers resoundingly with, “Of course. I’ll be there, I’ll do it and it’ll be done well. Having people count on me to do something seemingly impossible and coming through in a big way is my favorite kind of challenge.” t a l l a h a s s e e wo m a n
