TESTIMONIALS

"Training and developing my executives is a constant focus to which I give much attention. That task comes with many challenges such as the responsibility of inspiring the executives and motivating them to consistently inspire their respective teams. It was my desire for my executives to experience true inspiration and motivation that led me to seeking the communication and coaching expertise of Mark Edgar Stephens.
Mark was able to focus, reinvigorate and motivate us. In each area where there was a perspective reflecting a belief of impossible or 'too hard to accomplish,' he awakened a perspective of possibility. Mark facilitated a practical, yet powerful, seminar that aligned the team's values, both personal and professional in order to create better productivity in our work environment. His passion and enthusiasm allowed him to over-deliver in our personalized workshop experience; resulting in a feeling from the executive team that we can accomplish more, make work more meaningful, and, most importantly, maintain the desire to deliver better results. Thank you Mark!”

"The world of business is notorious for acknowledging individuals who seem to use smoke and mirrors to portray their success; one only has to dig deeper to discover the facade. Mark Edgar Stephens' success is real on many levels. To me, a true leader is someone who can get the job done along with the efforts of other people who gladly and confidently follow. Mark's leadership is not the "old school" method of dictating, controlling, and policing. Rather, he has a magical way of inspiring and encouraging people around him to sign on to whatever it takes to get the job done.
I have hired Mark on several occasions, for a multitude of projects, and he delivers every single time. As a coach and motivational speaker, he is spot on. In addition to those skills, I find Mark to be humble, focused, and funny. How many people can say that about the people they work with and work for? Lastly, as a leader Mark is one of those rare few who understands the value of continued personal growth. His quest for knowledge is marked with humility and passion --- what a gift. Mark is a sincere pleasure to be around, and he goes out of his way to bring everyone up to his level of focus and passion."
