Bring YOUR Shoes: A Fresh Perspective for Leaders with Big Shoes to Fill

Your attendees will enjoy Marcia’s Bring YOUR Shoes inspirational keynote – especially new leaders, managers, and supervisors.

Successful leaders surround themselves with talented individuals that complement their strengths. But as a leader, how do you get there? Complementary talent just doesn’t show up, it has to be sought out.

As an employer, Marcia shares ideas on how to discover and develop your employees’ talents to maximize their potential. In this interactive keynote presentation, you will learn about Marcia’s personal journey of discovering her gifts and how she helped her employees discover their talents to become a high performing team. During the Bring YOUR Shoes inspirational keynote based on her book Bring YOUR Shoes, Marcia teaches new leaders how to lead from a fresh perspective—by maximizing their talents and the diverse talents of those they lead.

You inspire me and makes me want to learn more about me. I love your presentation, it was very informative. I've learned alot from it. Thank you so much!"

  • "Here’s one response that we got, actually forwarded to me from the bank CEO who got this from their employee after she attended. The CEO is on our board as well, so that’s awesome to get feedback like this! I truly enjoyed the Ten Tips to Help You Achieve Balance in your life.  It really hit home (especially with everything going on in the past four months) when she talked about surrounding yourself with people who love and care for you and establishing boundaries.  I think during the past four months have found myself submerging myself in work (both Chase and National Guard) more than ever and I always want to do one more thing to help, but at the end of the day sometimes I need to take a step back and make sure that I am taking care of myself. Marci was a great speaker and I enjoyed how enthusiastic she was.  She really pumped me up for the day."
