Coaching Testimonials

“Mark Brown has shared his World Champion speaking skills with me to take my talks to an entirely new level. By adding clear messaging, clever wording and captivating humor, my own unique stories are now more entertaining and inspiring for my audiences. Mark took the time to understand my goals and my life story and help me weave them into the tale I want to tell. He has been a joy to work with and I would recommend him as a coach to anyone who aims to become a world-class speaker!”

“I would not be the speaker I am today were it not for my coach, Mark Brown. In 2001, I learned first-hand, no one becomes great alone. When Mark looked at the first draft of my speech, in 2 minutes he could see what I could not see after seven years of hard work. Every time I walk out on stage, Mark’s influence is with me. I leave a more memorable message and have more fun doing it thanks to Mark. He coached me to out-speak 25,000 contestant from 14 countries, and he changed my presentations for the rest of my career. In my opinion, there is no better coach on the planet.”

“Want to craft a world class speech? You first need a world class message. That’s where world class speech coach Mark Brown came in to make a difference. Mark not only helped me uncover many valuable lessons that I simply took for granted or became oblivious to after having told my stories many times, but more important, motivated me to drill deeper and helped me craft the message in concise and impactful words. Mark also helped me come up with a strategy to adapt my speech for different occasions and build related speeches based on my keynote. Mark inspired me to become the best speaker I can become and make a bigger impact on the world through speaking.”

“The Greek philosopher Nikos Kazantzakis wrote that ‘True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.’ For aspiring speakers and champions, Mark has been rainmaker extraordinaire. With a sure hand and deft insight, Mark knows precisely how to — and how much to — encourage his students to deconstruct and reconstruct their stories and messages. Mark’s talismanic touch has done much more than illuminate my presentations. It has lit a candle inside me that has inspired me to blaze new trails and build my own bridges.”

 “I can’t express how much I enjoy learning from you. You take the time to understand who I am, provide feedback that fits my personality, and challenge me to be my best. This shows not only who you are as a coach, but also who you are as a person. You are a source of inspiration, joy and enthusiasm, and I consider myself lucky to be your student. Thank you for all your support. You are the BEST coach a girl could have!”
