"We have had speakers who were Harvard Business lecturers, TedX presenters, podcast hosts, and leadership coaches, to name a few. The speaker who has achieved the highest marks from our post-summit surveys is Marlo Clarke. Marlo, through his advice and perspective, has proven to be an invaluable resource to me both professionally and personally. Marlo is a thoughtful listener, he asks timely, probing questions, and when he offers a response, he does so with an authenticity I find to be rare."

Ryan Cannady, 
Chief Retail Officer, 
Deere Employees Credit Union

"As an organiser, I was excited to have Marlo on our team, and as an attendee, I left his session feeling inspired and engaged in our collecƟve mission. I highly recommend Marlo as an inspirational, humorous, and knowledgeable speaker to your organisation or agency."

Amiee Woodrow, 
Mid-American Camping Conference Chair, 
YMCA

"Marlo just has that thing. His calm assurance helps individuals envision their best selves in his presence. Certain individuals possess this quality—it radiates in everything they do. Whether it's in sports, music, or business, there are some people you see that have that magic, and you know you are watching someone special."

Gary Mapanda, 
CEO, 
African Healing Foundation

"Despite his humble beginnings, Marlo's inspiring nature shines brightly in his personality. His message resonated deeply and raised thought-provoking questions. Marlo's passion for cultivating a 'successful you' through purposeful feedback has ignited a journey of self-confidence and resilience. This is the true power that helps us overcome any obstacle."

Walter Brown, 
Supply Chain Manager, 

"When I sat down and got ready to listen to Marlo deliver his speech, I had no idea what to expect. However, as soon as he started talking, I felt like Marlo was talking directly to me. But Marlo’s speech went deeper than just those feelings of being heard and cared for. I actually got tangible advice that I applied to my life, and still do to this day. This wasn’t just another motivational speech that left me with excitement and energy, but no way of knowing how to put these feelings to use."

Jenna Lawerence, 
Author, 

"Marlo was instead a poet-philosopher and offered clarity of vision, purpose, authenticity, and problem-solving strategies. I see myself and my place, people, and time with more clarity and resonance for having been a witness to Marlo’s presentation. Our clients flock to my critical thinking and emotional life courses now in hopes of continuing to discuss and apply Marlo’s ideas."
