Motivational Speaking (is there any other kind?)
Born to share words of wisdom (WOWs), Ilene's favorite activity is speaking. Using humor to tap into truths about workplace dynamics, Ilene's signature speeches will make you laugh; make you cringe; and ultimately make you change. See your actions as others do. It's Powerful.
Equal parts Teacher, Catalyst and Entertainer, Marcus starts with background research to focus directly on your issues and crafts stories, lessons and ideas that leave a memorable mark.
Marcus’s provocative style stimulates action to build a more joyful workplace to drive your agenda forward with purpose.
Best Practice Chair/Master Chair/Group Chair
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 environment.
