"We had Marc present at our annual all-firm virtual event. From our newly hired interns to our partner group, Marc's message resonated with everyone. Weeks after the event, I still have people telling me how much they appreciated hearing from Marc. When your employees walk away from a keynote with both memorable and actionable ideas, you know you hit the nail on the head in selecting a speaker. I'd highly recommend Marc to any organization looking to inspire leadership at all levels."

Jana Cinnamon, CEO, Abdo

“When we engaged Marc to speak to our whole company, we were hoping that there would be some clear safety parallels between his submarine experience and the high hazard industry that we work in. But honestly, Marc took it to a new level… his engaging style had the audience rapt with attention, the way he spoke about his personal experiences in and out of the Navy made his talk so relatable, and he managed to connect everyone to the safety and learning agenda through the use of powerful storytelling, which was our ultimate goal. His occasional use of the chat functionality showed just how engaged the whole audience were. And so much great post-event feedback from our staff… Outstanding!!”

Julian Austin, SVP HSE, Kosmos Energy

"Marc hit a home run! We had some committee members provide direct feedback and we heard that Marc was a 5 out of 5 from multiple people. As the coordinator of speakers, I also want to acknowledge working with Marc has been my pleasure. He made it so easy to get what was needed without a lot of trouble. He made a conference of 110 speakers a pleasure to run. I am so glad that the audience shared in my enthusiasm of Marc and his message."
