"The work sessions were not only thought-provoking, but they were fun, and made the Friends of Jackson Bottom come alive. Marc's skills involved everyone in the discussions and provided an excellent opportunity for the participants to get to know one another, and thereby break barriers of shyness, etc. which might 'hide' creative people."

Sue Orlaske, Chair
Friends of Jackson Bottom

   
"Marc taught me key training tools and methods to incorporate into the day-long seminar, and he pulled together the materials into a very professional packet. With the help of Marc, my training went exceptionally well, and I received high marks on the evaluations. I owe a lot to Marc for its success and recommend him, highly as a 'trainer's trainer.'"
