Inspiration with an edge! Marcy's compelling, authoritative, well-researched talks instantly shift how we "Show Up!". As seen on TED.com Marcy leaves people knowing how to lead and achieve.

Hi, I'm a Featured Inspirational Speaker on eSpeakers with thousands of watches and positive reviews of my latest TED talk and other speeches.

My talks and award-winning book come from over 20 years of primary research about how people Choose to Show Up – a topic of lightning timeliness as we rethink our daily schedules, priorities and lives. My ideas, words and delivery are described as "compelling," "authoritative," "captivating, and "influential". Attendees consistently wait to speak with me afterward to share how elevated, energized and empowered they feel. And how they're already using my quick tactics to improve performance!

My unique background (Ivy League, Wall Street and Silicon Valley high tech management consulting) equip me with visceral war-stories from board rooms to start-ups, from money in the bank to pitching for dollars.

I do my homework to know your needs, your organization's lingo and the unique requirements for success of each event and project.

What people say:

• "Marcy's powerful words went straight to my heart. I'll be using her "trace your 3" tactic with my full team, and won't be "just" showing up to myself, my family or my business again!"
CEO, Kingston East
• "I've asked members of the audience, they said Marcy's speech is the one that sticks with them!" Conference Director
• "It's been many weeks, yet Marcy's speech stays with me." Talk attendee
• I had to yield to Marcy's "force field" of positive energy. She was speaking directly to me. Kristin T.
• Marcy's talk felt like a shout to my heart – "you cannot walk away from this," it said. Talk attendee
• We must challenge ourselves to "show up" for life even when we don't feel like showing up, the most important thing is that [Marcy has] given us a roadmap. Talk attendee
• "Showing up" has extraordinary impact not just in our lives as individuals, but on a far more macro level, the process of showing up impacts how we relate to each other in the wider systems we create – be it economic, political, educational, or indeed, even global." Talk attendee
• "From the moment I heard Marcy's words I was absolutely captivated. Something about the message, something about the tone and tenor, something about the power and purity of the concepts themselves, simply grabbed hold of my heart and wouldn't let go." Talk attendee
• "Marcy's words kept calling my name....kept pulling at me. It felt, to me, like almost a centrifugal force ... and it wouldn't let me go." Talk attendee

I started regularly speaking in 1999. My audiences then were executive groups at some of the nations most storied high tech companies, HP, Cisco, Motorola, SAP, StorageTek, Symantec, Yahoo!, etc. My talks are highly customized to each event. As needed, I interview key stakeholders, laser in on what success looks like for you and your audience. I will integrate the specific words and lexicon of your company, industry and strategies.
My goal is your success. We'll earn a home run together.

ALLTELLIGENCE – ENLIVEN TRUST, ENGAGEMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT

  • ALLTELLIGENCE - ENLIVEN TRUST, ENGAGEMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT- What would discussions be like if each of us ask, "What level of trust and care am I choosing as I enter this activity"? Alltelligence is Marcy's proprietary concept for what intelligence should be. Instead of the misunderstanding that skill and knowledge reside within us, or "outelligence", that skill and knowledge exist primarily in books, media and others outside us, alltelligence offers a more accurate...
