Northwood University

Many people ask if I actually graduated as the dates indicate only three years of attendance. Because I was so anxious to get out into the real world of business, I did an accelerated degree program. In retrospect, I wish I would have taken the time to enjoy more of the college experience. Northwood University is a great small college.

Not only is Marc is an excellent and knowledgeable teacher, he is a dynamic speaker. I am always amazed by how effectively and effortlessly he engages audiences and connects with them.
Marc is a “get it done faster, better and easier” kind of guy. He doesn’t waste time on trivia or more details than his audience needs to get a powerful result. I found that same approach in reading this book. It is fill of really useful information that is sure to propel you to new levels of effectiveness and proficiency as a public speaker without all the boring minutia so many other how-to guides contain.
The Totally Engaged Audience is comprehensive and impactful enough to encompass virtually every essential facet of speaking (gaining confidence, developing poise, getting and holding the attention of an audience, and inspiring them to action. Yet it is also brief and precise enough to use as a quick reference guide as you develop your own unique style.
If your work requires that you speak in public or your heart is tugging you in that direction, you are going to love this book.
Enjoy!

Power Shift - Leading a New Generation
QuinStar Publishing
Most leaders today are desperately trying to motivate a new generation of workers who have completely different core values by using an age-old business model and, based on the extensive research of Dr. Sherry Buffington and Marc Schwartz, that’s a mistake.
Drawing on three decades of research in human motivation, real world application, and more than a decade of researching what motivates Gen Xers and Millennials, Buffington and Schwartz expose a huge gap in how leaders and managers…Most leaders today are desperately trying to motivate a new generation of workers who have completely different core values by using an age-old business model and, based on the extensive research of Dr. Sherry Buffington and Marc Schwartz, that’s a mistake.
Drawing on three decades of research in human motivation, real world application, and more than a decade of researching what motivates Gen Xers and Millennials, Buffington and Schwartz expose a huge gap in how leaders and managers are trying to motivate the new generations and explain what actually works.
In Power Shift: The New Rules of Engagement, the authors present three critical elements of motivation, and provide a clear blueprint for applying them to get the best, not just from the new generations, but from everyone. The insights and strategies in Power Shift provide leaders with solutions to the ever-growing challenge of keeping employees engaged and motivated.
The authors present strong evidence of a power shift that will forever change the face of business and the form of leadership from the divisiveness of forced power to collaborative influence. There is ample evidence to show that leaders and managers who embrace the new rules of engagement and collaboration will successfully make this shift, influence its direction, and lead their organizations to unprecedented growth and profits.Other authorsSee publication -

The Totally Engaged Audience is written to easily accommodate anyone who has to speak where two or more are gathered. Starting from the preparation to the actual presentation and through to the close, this e-book is laid out in an easy to follow format.
This material will help you understand presentations via three types: Speech, Facilitation and Training. They all differ but are cumulatively presented because they are interwoven with each other. In order to “Totally Engage Your Audience”, you must educate them, you must train them, and you must entertain them. Thus was born the phrase, “Edu-Train-Ment™.”
Through the “Edu-Train-Ment™” approach, you will begin to recognize the value of understanding these ideas, and their importance in conquering your fears, taking your speaking skills to the next level and being successful at any of these presentation types.
