Mark Anthony’s Bio:

“Mark Anthony is the Yoda of speaking coaches. Known as “The Coach of Coaches”, he doesn’t just turn good speakers into stellar speakers; he helps them tap the Force within to bring out their true power.

Mark Anthony zeroes in on what makes a person’s presence unique. He then helps tailor the message they’re delivering so that it’s amplified by the individual’s unique personality and gifts – But he also helps them craft heir message in a way that is totally congregant within themselves, so that when they’re addressing their audience they connect with them wide and deep in a way that few others can.

He coaches them to be able to aim their talk to the specific audience the speaker wants to address, so that they hit the target straight on the mark every time.

When a speaker is connected strongly to the audience, and is on point with the right language, then the room ignites and the magic occurs! The result: impact, change and action!

Mark Anthony has presented on stages around the world and coached people from 32 countries, so he’s very familiar with a wide variety of cultures. This gives his clients a distinctive advantage when they’re presenting their message in global arenas.

For the past decade, Mark Anthony hasn’t found a need to advertise his uncanny and intuitive ability simply because his clients seek him out. Work from referrals alone have kept him more than busy and allowed him to work with the best of the best around the planet.
