"Marcus Buckingham was amazing! The employees resonated with him so well – there was nothing but appreciation for him in the chat!"
-Adobe Systems Inc."Marcus' energy and enthusiasm was truly contagious! His presentation was very entertaining, and he provided insight surrounding the areas of employee motivation and leadership."
-Golden Corral"Marcus Buckingham was just starting to interest and charm 4,000-plus Walgreen store managers when the fire alarm in the huge Las Vegas ballroom went off. Disembodied hotel voices announced all was OK, but the crowd grew noticeably anxious as bright lights continued to flash. Not Marcus and before too long, not our audience. His well-researched and very well delivered remarks overcame adversity few speakers ever encounter. Our managers ranked Buckingham the #1 speaker of the meeting, topping the perennial favorites - our CEO and president. What impressed us all was how well Marcus had done his homework. This was no generic speech - it related to our business and our people, in a motivating, challenging and useful way"
- Polly Bruno, Walgreens"Marcus Buckingham was GREAT! I got a lot of positive feedback from all our company's participants, and consider the meeting to be very successful overall. Working with Marcus Buckingham and his team was a fantastic experience. "
- Jon Murray, National Retail Operations, Masterfoods"Marcus Buckingham's presentation was thought"
- Mary Jane Grant, Reed Elsevier"Marcus is the most engaging and useful business speaker working today. His advice is grounded in research and at the same time appeals to common sense. "
- Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management Director Center for Human Resources, The Wharton School"Regarding the presentation, it went better than “well”. A lot better. Like a million times better! Firstly, the virtual format was a lot better than I expected. The big screens really helped make an impact, so being virtual didn’t detract from the experience in a big way. People were still glued to the screen for the entire 90 minutes. But mostly it was Marcus and the content that was AMAZING. Every single person I talked to (and it was lots of people) said Marcus’ presentation was incredibly. The way he could articulate “great management” was super impressive and the material itself was deeply helpful. We loved it! "
