    Written Testimonials

    Authentic, talented, and a servant’s heart would be how I would describe Marcel. I recently hired Marcel to co-facilitate a two-day workshop around for my largest client. From the moment I engaged Marcel on this project, he was invested in making it a success. His experience as a keynote speaker and student of Serving Leadership allowed him to bring relatable discussions and examples that connected with leaders at all levels. The feedback was excellent and they were very pleased with the impact it created for their organization.

    I recently had the opportunity to invite Marcel as a KeyNote speaker to one of our Company events. I am so glad I chose him to deliver the Servant Leadership message to our franchisees. His approach to this way of understanding leadership is full of wisdom and insight. Talking about love in the workplace can sound cheesy and even strange, but his competency, ability to connect and speaking skills brilliantly offer the connection to workplace reality and actionable strategies. I recommend Marcel with no reservations.

    I recently had the pleasure of speaking at an event with Marcel… and wow! Marcel is one of the most heart-ful and skillful presenters/facilitators I’ve experienced. His ability to connect with the audience, relate to the realities of the workplace, offer actionable strategies for success and tap the hope of those to whom he speaks is remarkable. Additionally, Marcel is a masterful facilitator, reading the room, fluidly guiding conversation, and ensuring deep insights for all involved. I can recommend Marcel Schwantes without reservation to any group looking for a rich, meaningful, relevant and inspiring experience.

    Marcel’s presentation is a must-have for any organization; it is a unique, inspiring and empowering way of learning. This session brought me and my 60+ leaders back to the basics of leadership. Rediscovering our leadership styles, and learning how to optimize our talents to serve each other and the lives that are placed in our hands was the highlight of our year!
