Excellent Keynote Speaker

It was great to have Marcy as a keynote to launch our new school year. Her level of preparation showed she really cared about customizing her message to our specific needs. Her presentation set everyone on the right track and mindset. Would recommend her for any speaking gig with professionals who need a reminder about how to show up.

Amazing! Inspiring!

From the moment Marcy walked in, I could tell she was someone special! With her colorful blazer, cowboy boots, and funky hat, Marcy definitely caught everyone's attention and for sure knows how to 'show up!' When she got on stage and began speaking, I have to say she really surprised me. Yes, she was very charming and personable from the start, but when she spoke, she was engaging, inspiring, and extremely thought-provoking with her words. She was able to allow the crowd to open their minds and think introspectively about themselves and the way they move about life. What a wonderful start to our event with an amazing opening speaker—truly inspiring!

Excellent, Eye-Opening, and Overall Wonderful Experience!

Marcy's speech was extremely impactful and inspiring. She was able to get people to reflect on how people can show up in their lives, whether that be for themselves, in situations, or in society and perhaps adopt a new perspective to be more mindful in showing up in life. The scale of how much people show up in their lives was eye-opening and really helped to drive the point across to her listeners. People were able to reflect and think introspectively about themselves and how much they show up and for what. The brain wave connection/synchronization was fascinating to learn about. Highly recommend having Marcy as a speaker at any team building event!

What to expect

Complete engagement!
A new way of thinking about three things:
1) Their performance
2) How they see others, lead and think
3) How they experience their daily routine

Tactically, Marcy likes to be available before the speech if the event flow permits, and she is typically open to questions and staying afterwards to follow up in one on one discussions to help people truly show up.

Every day we have a choice:
- Do we "Just Show Up," improvising as we go, phoning in our intentions?
- Do we "Truly Show Up," living decisive moments with intent?
- Or are we "Barely There," struggling to Show Up at all?

Showing Up is the invisible system all around us, connecting us to our Society, Situations, Selves, and each other. And it's a contact sport. It's how we lead, whether parenting, coaching, playing, empowering one another, or steering a global company.

Showing Up orients us toward a meaningful life. Marcy Axelrod explains this truth clearly and profoundly. Through pragmatic examples, she reveals the roadmap to Truly Show Up more often and with greater ease. At once simple and life changing, understanding what it means to Truly Show Up leads us to relate more human-to-human, inspiring greater health, competence, and confidence. We then infuse this richness into our families, businesses, economy, and the health of our planet.

Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, this is the crucial playbook for leading an impactful, high-achieving life-all while taking care of the world and each other.

 When not researching and writing, Marcy is an abstract expressionist artist, and tries to be the best mom she can be.
