Thank you Marli. You are so powerful!! This was beautiful timing for me, I truly resonate with your story and love your energy. I love that you followed your vision, it’s very inspiring to me. My vision is very similar to yours. I feel so called to connect with you more. I will reach out on IG. ☺️

FUN! Inspiring. A push out of a comfort zone that most don’t think they want until afterwards and then they are like—dang that was awesome! What makes it unique is the direct steps to make information presented actionable— with accountability! Any presentation that ends with singing Don’t Stop Believing is badass and worth every penny. Not everyone is open to the experience but you definitely get so much if you are and I think you do a great job pulling it out of those whose anxiety keeps them from choosing these types of interactions. You can see the eye rolling in the beginning by some but then afterwards they are laughing and obviously enjoying themselves. It’s magic.

It was great but, it was very fast paced to be thoughtful. There were ALOT of instructions and moving around the room. I felt like I was the last one to get everywhere because I was trying to connect but didn’t have time and was late hearing the instructions. It almost gave me a panic attack. I say that lovingly. I love you Marli and I do really like the premise, just maybe fine tune it for us adhd extrovert ppl ♥️

What a great and welcome gift to a challenging week. So happy I didn’t skip the opportunity to take a break and recalibrate my energy. I also appreciated the opportunity to thank coworkers today for helping me during the session. I grew today and your energy was just enough for me to tip over the appreciation hurdle and tell them they did great! Thank you. The Friday crowd is gonna have so much fun! Go E.D. P!!!

Hi Marley, Thank you so much for being a part of the EDUCAUSE 2024 event. I was in the back and saw tons on engaged attendees. Congratulations and thank you for elevating our energy and building epic leaders in the EDUCAUSE community. Great work; I'll pass it on to my peer conference professionals and I'll keep looking for oppys to bring you back to our events and PD activities. -Eden

This was FUN! I feel like you were engaging and you just nailed this topic that I feel needs to be addressed. I have always believed so strongly in energies and aware of my own energy when living life & leading. Marli you are amazing! I had no idea that you were the keynote speaker today so I’m glad I said something about your tiger coat! You BROUGHT the vibe! <3

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed how energetic the talk was. And I was able to break out of my comfort zone a little with the connect card and met someone new. I have been a lot less sociable than I used to be due to multiple factors in my life, and this was a good reminder as to how I used to be and how to get back to that. Thank you for your presentation 😊
Attendee
I really enjoyed your presentation! Your energy was contagious, and you did an excellent job showing how positivity and the right mindset can influence and inspire others. I especially liked how you connected personal energy with leadership and the impact we can have on the people around us. You were engaging, authentic, and inspiring. Great job!

Marli has an enthusiastic aura, it's hard NOT to want to match her energy. Our session was via Zoom and she still managed to make it awesome! EDP! The EPIC leader was relevant, needed and encouraging when our jobs are hard and burn out is a real thing, she makes you WANT to start changing your mindset and show up different! Marli is a MUST SEE!
