Praise for Marianne’s Work

I must take time out today to give a sincere rave review for one of the most entertaining and enthusiastic speakers that has honored my Live Your Legacy Summit stage. Not only is Marianne Carlson a crowd favorite for her witty humor and true life stories, she has great knowledge in her fields of expertise and added valuable content to both my summits that she spoke at. For anyone needing a great speaker/teacher/presenter for their next event, I highly recommend Marianne.  Your attendees will thank you. 

Aurea McGarry, Emmy winning TV show host and founder of Live Your Legacy Summits - a national event series.

Marianne is a fabulous speaker.  She makes you laugh, she makes you think, and best of all, she makes you understand!  She’s got a real gift for explaining the jargon in terms everyone can understand.  We love having her speak to our group!

Jeff Aames, New Beginnings Network Group

As a speaker, Marianne is engaging – edgy – entertaining – enthusiastic – educational!  She makes everyone feel comfortable and confident.  Her suggestions are from a place of experience and wisdom.  Every time I’ve been in her presence, I’ve learned something valuable.

Shannon Kidwell, Owner/Creator at Fit Piglet and Freshitarian kitchen.

Very engaging!  Speaks very confidently, and and keeps a firm grasp on the audience.  Her business intuition assists her greatly, pulling from her background in various capacities.

Tony Tate, Social media Director at Anotech Solutions

Marianne is a consumate professional.  She is always ready to help you chart a new course and adjust to the changes in your life.  I highly recommend you consider Marianne for your speaking and training needs.

Leigh Ann Lyon, Financial Advisor at Edward Jones

Having now conducted the workshop “Websites for Small Business” a second time for SBDC this past week, and again receiving rave reviews from attendees, we are excited to have her return in January with the new workshop “SEO for Small Business”.

Robert Goetz, Florida Small Business Development Center

Marianne Carlson is on top of her game.  She came to the West Volusia Association of REALTORS and taught the REALTORS the facts about Social Media.  The “what to do’s” and the “what not to do’s” as independent contractors.  The average age of the REALTORS in our association is 54.  Marianne took the fear out of social media and made it easy to understand When the class ended,  they were  eager to go back to their offices and get started.”
