Comments From Participants

“Mark’s trainings are more like revival events. Participants leave equipped with a deeply personal understanding of the topic, an urgent passion to pursue the cause and the frameworks to mature and grow. It’s a game changer.”
~ J. Kays, Dallas, Texas USA


“The messaging was well put together, Mark’s presentation and delivery was well received and respected amongst all the delivery leads…Mark had an excellent way to effectively communicate a very complex process to folks on the leadership team…”

~ M. Malhotra, Reston, Virginia USA


“Mark has the professional knowledge, skill and capability to engender transformation in both the lives of those who lead and those who serve leaders. He has collected and researched stories (because we all have a story) that highlight how to inspire others. He has plumbed the depths of seemingly every business problem to deliver a trustworthy product managers can use to do their jobs while inspiring others. The key to understanding how to be a leader has little to do with situations, and everything to do with being fair and passionate about purpose and interaction. In a world of unreliable truths and uncertain virtual reality, Mark brings a level of experience and confidence that teaches leadership and courage without false boasts. He insists upon being a manager, a leader, a coach and mentor who brings respect, dignity, fairness and integrity to every encounter. I highly recommend him as one who can teach people to be top performers.”
~ S. Lyberger, Washington, D.C., USA
