Mark led our opening plenary with an INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL MESSAGE that set the tone for the rest of our conference. His insights into the 'Why Generation' really resonated with our audience of
economic developers, spurring PRODUCTIVE AND ONGOING DISCUSSIONS. We need to foster economic opportunity in our communities and drive top talent to regions of all sizes—and Mark's strategies were laser-focused on those outcomes. The energy, excitement and passion Mark brought have CHANGED THE CONVERSATION.

AMAZING! In my seven years at KCKCC, I have never seen a speaker grab—and hold—everyone’s attention like Mark! Not only were faculty and staff energized and excited, they also left with REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS AND RESOURCES to implement right away. Mark's narrative is INCREDIBLY TRANSFORMATIONAL AND A BREATH OF FRESH AIR for higher education, especially at the community college level. He was energizing, authentic, insightful, dynamic and relevant, and we can't wait to have him back for a follow-up event with area superintendents and high school leadership teams. Mark is a must-see speaker—YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO BRING HIM IN!

Every year we work hard to bring in the best workforce thought leaders to keynote at the PWDA Annual Conference. This year, Mark Perna blew our expectations out of the water with his ENERGETIC STYLE and TIMELY MESSAGE. Mark’s passionate keynote was perfect to follow the Governor of PA’s speech at the conference. He connected instantly with the audience as he delivered valuable strategies that they can implement in both their professional and personal lives. We recommend Mark as a DYNAMIC, PERSONABLE, AND GENUINE speaker who keeps his audience riveted with truly actionable content.

After seeing Mark speak—and receive a THUNDEROUS STANDING OVATION—at the National Association of Workforce Board (NAWB) conference, I knew I had to do whatever I could to bring him to Westchester to keynote at our local workforce board’s annual meeting. We made that happen and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Our audience of educators, training providers, economic and workforce development professionals and employers were rapt at attention and DID EVEN LOOK AT THEIR PHONES! As the center of the spoke of the employment wheel, workforce boards and directors must hear what Mark has to say to better connect the dots between what job seekers want, what training is needed to get them to their desired goal and where employers are to complete the circle. The feedback from his presentation was OFF THE CHARTS and described as ‘life changing,’ ‘eye opening,’ and ‘not to be missed.’ ALL WORKFORCE BOARDS AND STAFF WOULD BENEFIT from hearing what Mark has to say in the way that only he can say it!

MARK PERNA DELIVERS THE FULL PACKAGE! He keynoted during our initial strategic planning process, which informed our critical decision-making, and then several months later inspired our administrators to completely buy into the power of our district vision. He then supersized the impact by addressing our full staff, both certificated and classified, about meeting the younger generations exactly where they are with a compelling narrative
of relevance and purpose. The feedback has been very positive and PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT WHERE WE'RE HEADED. Mark’s high-powered message aligns with everything our district is aspiring to achieve–and HE'S EQUIPPED OUR TEAM TO DO IT!

AUDIENCE MEMBERS LOVE MARK, TOO
Mark Perna delivered an incredible message that brought our education and employment systems together in a way I’ve never seen before. We all have a vital role to play in the economic viability of our community—and now, we feel equipped to play it. With Mark’s ongoing involvement, WE’RE ALREADY TAKING THE NEXT STEPS TO TRANSFORM THE WAY OUR COMMUNITY THINKS about education and careers. Thank you, Mark!

This was by far the best experience and best motivational speaker I have ever seen. I would describe it as the ONE AND ONLY PRESENTATION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR ALL EDUCATORS to see.

I really was READY TO QUIT TEACHING. I’ve been struggling with this for two years now. This entire presentation made me realize that I absolutely can’t. That I must stay to connect with our young people.
