An Engaging Speaker That Understands Why Teams Struggle

John Marshall has delivered 44 presentations across 39 cities at national conferences, industry associations, and company events. In consulting with clients in over 30 industries, John discovered that most teams weren’t prepared for the future. This presentation resolves that. Every talk delivers one thing: a concrete framework your audience can use the moment they get back to the office. 


Level Up Your Team’s Skills For The Future

This isn’t a motivational talk. Your audience has heard enough of those.

This is a structured, interactive session that introduces a science-based framework for developing team skills. Every attendee leaves with the tools to start using it immediately.

What attendees walk away with:

  • A clear framework for identifying and closing skill gaps on their teams
  • An objective tool for measuring team skills, not just assumptions
  • A new approach to accountability that’s embraced and actually works
  • Confidence about where to start and what to do next
