For Event Organizers
Marc is a customer and employee experience strategist, a real master of experiences, driving operational excellence by daring people to cultivate a generous attitude and lead with love and kindness first.
Most organizations and entrepreneurs think organizational excellence means providing customer service. They work so hard building a facade for their customers to gain loyalty, reputation, and market share, that they end up lacking authenticity. And as much as they try, the public (their customers) eventually see right through the mask. And once they call you out, you’re done.
So, how does one differentiate, stand out from the crowd, and deliver the very best while being true to their purpose?
The key is for organizations and entrepreneurs to tap into the idea of combining service and compassion, while building on the foundation of their values.
It’s when “customer service” transforms into being of service.
Wouldn’t it be great if leaders and their organizations were inspired to put more love and care in being of service? What if people were encouraged to cultivate a generous attitude and lead with love and kindness first? How would this affect our definition of “customer service”, the way we experience it and train for it?
Marc’s talks take the philosophy of being of service and look at organizations and their offerings through the lens of live theatre. This intuitive and unique perspective provides the method that allows operators, supervisors, and managers to script, direct, and stage award winning experiences their customers and staff deserve. Imagine creating jaw-dropping experiences every time.

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.
