Originally from England and now a resident of
Canada, Charles Marcus has come a long way. For over 25 years,
he could not do what most of us take for granted—speak. He lived
with a severe stuttering disability, sometimes going for long
periods of not being able to speak at all, suffering much
ridicule, rejection and prejudice…and dreaming one day of being
able to speak fluently in public.
He was finally able to realize this dream after
making an important decision: to take full responsibility for
his life and confront his challenges and fears head-on. Today,
Charles is an inspiration to people all over the world,
combining his story of overcoming adversity and winning against
the odds with his streetwise, down-to-earth business, sales and
leadership savvy. With his unique “tell it like it is” style, he
delivers highly customized, dynamic, motivational and business
keynote presentations and seminar programs that are also fun.
Charles’ thought-provoking ideas resonate with
participants in a very special way. Attendees identify their own
circumstances, challenges and situation in the field in relation
to his story and message. Above all, his message empowers each
audience member to identify and unleash the magnificent
potential and greatness that lies within each of us. His whole
focus is to motivate, inform, empower, entertain, challenge and
inspire his audience to take action! His insights,
strategies and ideas can be used immediately to generate
business in the field.
