"Amazing presentation!"

"Great presentation!"

"At last, prgamatic advice for dealing with those well-meaning employees who can suck the life out of you. Every boss should have a copy in their desk drawer."

"Incredible energy and wonderful presentations – I highly recommend for for presentations to any group.. Her presentation on attracting and retaining top talkent to the NFP group was super."

"Ilene you are so inspiring! I love that "go get it!" attitude!"

""How to Manage Annoying People" was hands down my favorite presentation!"

"Ilene Marcus is an engaging, provocative speaker who managed to get some excellent audience participation going at 9am! She is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about her topic, a perennial issue applicable to everyone at some stage, and she gave some excellent answers to questions from the audience. I came away with much to think about, and deeper understanding of how to deal with a couple of challenges of my own, as well as a copy of her book (and I almost never buy books at these events)."

"How to Manage Annoying People hands down was my favorite session to attend. The speaker engaged the audience, it was participatory, and it was timely and applicable. I ordered her book ASAP! "

"I've always classified people into three groups: those who give me energy, those who are neutral, and those who suck out all my energy. I have never found a way to deal successfully with the energy suckers. Ilene Marcus' nuanced book presents a fantastic and clear pathway on how to deal with these annoying people. My only regret is that the book was not available 40 years ago. The energy, productivity and happiness I lost would certainly have been reduced. Kudos, for a masterful, helpful and practical approach to dealing with those people in your life who suck the oxygen out of your enviroment."

"Managing Annoying People with Joy - highly entertaining and useful session!"

"Ilene Marcus helped guide me through an exasperating employee situation with intelligent and effective advice. This book should be a must read for all managers. Ilene's presentations should be required for all teams."
