Since 2005, Marc and John have worked with thousands of federal executives, local government officials, educational and business leaders on the processes of leadership partnering and creative collaboration. Their highly-rated presentations combine the lessons learned from their 25 year musical partnership with decades of leadership experience in public and corporate sectors, resulting in highly engaging, informational, and, above all, thought-provoking experiences for participants.

Participant quotes:

“You guys were great.  All I heard were good things, even from those who typically do not give high praises.  Your program has been extremely helpful in challenging me how to better manage my role as a co-leader and how to capitalize on the complementary strengths of my partnership.  We were so lucky to have you.”

“Wow!  I have never experienced so much fun in such a valuable learning experience.  Thanks for making this conference one of the best.”

“Finally, a program that recognizes that successful leadership is not a solo endeavor and usually involves a relationship with a competent Co-leader.  Being in a deputy role, I really appreciated both the content and creative methods for delivering the training. Bravo!!”

“Knowledge of subject matter - excellent.  Application by personal examples - excellent.  Use of music as foundation of teaching was great.”

“This was the first time in career that I have experienced music as a method for teaching.  It was excellent….I now have a clear understanding of Power Partnerships and the Leader/Co-leader relationship.  I will long remember this program and its contribution to my education.”
