Marc’s session was rated an incredible 3.9 out of 4. I don’t believe we’ve ever had a session rated that high before. To me that means that not only did you touch the audience with the principles and stories that you related, but that your energy and enthusiasm was inspirational to our participants.

Everyone at our company raved about Marc for days. Those that couldn’t attend the speech knew that they had missed something really special.Not only was his presentation emotional and informative, but also very entertaining. His engaging style had us all listening intently for the whole time - something that rarely happens with our high-energy group. We also appreciated how Marc customized his presentation. Many will take his points and work with our clients to ensure they are doing all they can to fulfill their corporate social responsibility.
