“I recently had the opportunity to hear Commander McGinnis address a group of area CEO’s and community leaders on leadership the SEAL way. I found his remarks to be captivating and most interesting, and his translation of the leadership principles he learned as a SEAL to business and civilian life was spot-on. I look forward to having Commander McGinnis speak to my leadership team at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center”.

“Mark recently gave a talk at an event my company hosted for over 60 athletic directors from major college athletic departments around the country. Mark discussed leading in challenging times and right off the bat, he grabbed hold of the audience’s attention and had them for the entire presentation. Mark’s message on leadership was simple and focused. His delivery was amazing. He broke down his message into easy, simple terms that everyone could learn and apply. Everyone loved how he wove in personal experiences and stories – they were incredibly entertaining and very impactful.

One of the biggest testaments was the audience’s engagement – Mark’s presentation started at 6:30, finished at 7:30 and had Q&A that lasted nearly 90 minutes. I am still getting “thanks” from the attendees. In fact, a number of those AD’s are asking for Mark’s information to have him come in and speak to their staff and students.

Personally, I appreciated the professionalism Mark exhibited in his preparation as well as his delivery at the event. His attention to detail was outstanding – he took the time to understand our company’s interests for hosting the event and what we were expecting to get out of the evening. Mark is a bright, intuitive guy that weaved our corporate message in beautifully. Nothing was over the top – it never felt like an infomercial on Game Theory. Mark made the event easy and incredibly successful.”
