Charles Marcus

Charles Marcus is an international motivational keynote speaker and impactful business speaker originally from England, now based in Toronto, Canada. Marcus's style as a speaker and presenter is passionate, engaging, down to earth, dynamic, high energy and thought provoking.

For many years, Marcus could not do what most of us take for granted - speak. For 25 years, he lived with a severe stuttering disability, suffering much ridicule, rejection and prejudices. He sometimes went for long periods not being able to speak at all, living in a world of virtual silence and dreaming of one day speaking fluently in public. Marcus realized his dream after making an important decision: to take full responsibility for his life and to confront his challenges and fears head on.

He is known as a speaker who goes to extraordinary lengths to personalize his presentation, making it relevant to fit his client’s needs, objectives and desired results.

He is also a contributing author of “Big Ideas for Growing Your Business,” “Live Your Dreams” and “101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life” with renowned experts such as Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Brain Tracy and Denis Waitley.
