Dennis Marcellino
Dennis Marcellino is a former member of some very famous music groups, including The Tokens (famous for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"), Sly & The Family Stone (the #1 band in the world in 1970 and voted as one of the top 10 bands of all time by MSNBC), The Elvin Bishop Group, and Rubicon (who closed the largest paid ticket event in history, Cal Jam 2). He's also had an internationally bestselling CD under his own name as a sax player, titled "An Evening To Remember." He is also the author of 10 books, with a scrutiny aided by an education in psychology and engineering. Plus he's been featured in a lot of media.
Through fun, entertaining and engaging presentations that include music, humor, audience participation and valuable messages and techniques, his main motivation now is to inspire and motivate people by showing them how to upgrade their careers and lives in general. This is based on the fact that he's a before and after story himself. But through an intensive, many-year search that ended in the wisdom and techniques he now shows, he has been living a deeply fulfilling and successful life for nearly 40 years now. And a core reason for this is: getting to know and be in harmony with who we REALLY are, understanding our place in life, and seeing and appreciating our value and the value of our company and being motivated to be a positive contributor in it.
* His programs can include a musical performance of him singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" or playing a sax song (see the video demo) which you and the audience will be talking about for a long time (see the quotes below by event planners).
His programs can be specially customized for college students, corporate business professionals or non-profits.
What event planners are saying
"If anyone is considering Dennis for an event, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED by booking him. I heartily recommend him as an energetic and experienced presenter for conferences, conventions or any other event where you will get information, education, and entertainment all in one. Dennis will personalize his program to your needs. What more could you ask for in a speaker."
John (Tony) Honeycutt, Executive Director, Piedmont Rescue Mission, Burlington, North Carolina, 10/16/14
"One of the best presentations we've ever had."
Paul Dec, Director of Programming, Interfraternity Council, Washington State University
"Dennis Marcellino is a superb presenter! He articulated his arguments skillfully and convincingly, coupled with illustrations from his personal life's journey. His PowerPoint graphics were well crafted and at a subsequent gathering he demonstrated his enormous musical talent on the saxophone. I would highly recommend Dennis to those desiring a stimulating and entertaining program."
Dr. Keith Swenson, President and Event Coordinator, Design Science Association, Portland, OR
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight really got people geared up – hands, bodies, fingers, feet moving to the music. Dennis was gracious in consenting to an encore at the end. Dennis' message comes from a unique perspective. Thought provoking and well accepted."
Larry Everson, Program Co-ordinator, Bonneville Power Administration (a federal agency),
Portland, Oregon (This speech was simulcast to Salt Lake City, Utah and Seattle, Washington)
"If there's a better sax player in the world, I haven't heard him."
Carter Knox, Vice President of Global Communications, OfficeMax Inc., Chicago, IL
"Dennis Marcellino's performance was fantastic! He engaged the audience in the opening seconds and kept their attention throughout the session. Dennis is a talented storyteller and musician, and he wove these two talents together beautifully and in a unique style. I am exceedingly happy with his presentation, and will invite him to speak at future events and recommend him to others."
Wendi Watson, Director of Marketing and Events, Restore America, Portland, OR
