"Mark, I left your presentation with more confidence. I purchased your book and read it that night....You gave me the positive attitude I needed. I got up in front of everyone and used your fabulous advice - 'Make it about them and not about you.' I did exactly that. It felt GREAT to overcome my fear and I have you and your book to thank for it." --- Susan Rice, Latham, NY
