For Associations
Associations across the world are losing strength. Dwindling membership and lack of member engagement are being compounded by a lack of sponsorship revenues.
“ROI,” “value,” and “limited participant time” are cited constantly as the reason why members are dropping off and not getting involved, leaving the same core group of people to drive the organization forward. Add to that, that the Boomer generation is retiring and the newer generations just don’t see value in what you are offering. We are at a point in time when saying “yes” to one thing means saying “no” to another.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could delve into the needs of all your stakeholders, picking and packaging programs that provide the value your target demographic needs to say “Yes!” to you and your Association?
Through Lights! Camera! Action! an operation framework that looks at organizations and their offerings through the lens of live theatre, Associations like yours can uncover best practices used to create jaw-dropping experiences for your members, your sponsors and your staff. This intuitive and unique perspective provides the method that allows your board of Directors and your operational team to script, direct, and stage the award winning experience your stakeholders deserve.
If you’re looking for an authentic and sustainable way to build member engagement, and enhanced member experience, all while providing sponsors with the value they require to support your organization, then this framework can uncover your hidden potential.

Strings Attached
Creating lasting connections by going from onboarding to forever-boarding
Starting from the first time a person comes across your business, they will migrate through various levels of engagement during their time with you – whether they are a client or an employee. Are you doing what’s required to fulfill their needs and keep them engaged?
“Onboarding” is a technique that businesses use. The challenge with current “onboarding” processes is that we invest so much when people start with us, then we close the spigot of support, and abandon our new person to fend for themselves. As a result, people begin to feel unsupported, devalued, and eventually disengaged. This leads to lower productivity, lower sales, and severed ties.
In Strings Attached, you and your team will uncover how a person’s journey with you, your company, and your brand is tied together through various points of connection. Using these points of connection effectively will lead to higher engagement, retention, and loyalty.
How tight are your strings to ensure the best connection?
If you adopt a continual cycle of evaluation and adjustment, you will move them from prospect to newbie to dedicated ambassador. I vote that we drop the term “onboarding” and adopt a better, more reflective word like “forever-boarding.”
Presentation takeaways:
- Unlock the 5 key milestones every person must reach to create lasting connection to your brand
- Untangle the driving needs and questions they have at each step of their journey
- Uncover why people fall into the “Pit of the Tainted,” and how you (and they) can be doomed
- Learn what not to do and what knot to do, creating the best, long-lasting connections
- Leverage “forever-boarding” as your secret tool to make people your top ambassadors… making YOU the brand of choice
If you’re looking to create a path towards higher engagement, increased levels of loyalty, and a brand people will feel connected to, this presentation is for you.

1-on-1 / Group Coaching
You have a plan, a direction, and a purpose. Now it’s all about creating measurable metrics and accountability to drive it forward.
Uncompromising transformation is hard. It means being uncomfortable. It means thinking differently, acting differently, and doing differently. But it is challenging to stay uncomfortable. Many people instigating purposeful change regress to previous beliefs and behaviours when the going gets tough.
Marc’s approach to group and one-on-one coaching is, “what gets measured, matters.” This creates a balanced scorecard, driven by objectives and learning/developmental opportunities to keep you, your team, and your members on course and purposeful.
