What clients are saying about Marc Z...
"Marc Zalmanoff truly stands out. He's graced my stages, podcasts, and social media channels, leaving a mark each time. His delivery at my recent summit is still the buzz, clinching the top spot as the audience's favorite among 17 world-class speakers to return to the podium.
Marc's presence is a guarantee for finding joy in life. His influence extends beyond his clientele, offering a slice of happiness to anyone in his orbit.
- Donnie Boivin, Founder of Success Champions Network
"Eight years ago I ran across Marc and watched him rocket his career on stage mainly because he not only speaks to the crowd...whether it's 10 or 100 or 1000 people...he speaks to the individual. He speaks of purpose. He speaks of passion. He speaks of the ability for someone to get themselves up, dust themselves off, and pursue their goals. Marc is our go to guy when we need someone to rally our troops, and I highly urge you not only to give him a chance, but to listen how he can influence you and your team."
- Kris Whitehead, CEO New England Custom Remodel, Founder Iconic Alliance
"You've probably been asked 'If you were stranded in a lifeboat, who would you want there with you?' For me and many others, there is always room for Marc Z. In that one seat you will get a life coach, continuous motivator, fitness guru, and all around great human being. What sets him apart is an ability to coach through practical, highly effective, and lasting improvements to optimize the day-to-day challenges we all face.
