Scott "Q" Marcus

“THINspirational Speaker”

Scott “Q” Marcus, “THINspirational speaker”, increases productivity, morale, and happiness among recovering perfectionists by breaking down large black and white goals into achievable smaller steps. After a two-decade career in the media, Scott began speaking professionally upon losing 70 pounds more than 12 years ago. He now does presentations to associations and organizations on enhancing communication, changing destructive habits, reducing stress, restoring balance, and improving attitude. He has spoken to foster parent associations across the country and was the closing banquet speaker at the 2006 National Foster Parent Conference. He is the president of the Northern California Chapter of the National Speaker's Association, a syndicated columnist, author of two books, a Weight Watchers leader, and trainer for the California Community College district on topics including conflict management, attitude, stress reduction, and presentation skills. His lively, interactive, and playful presentations have been described as a cross between “attitude 101, group therapy, and a southern revival.”

Although he speaks on health-related topics at many venues, he is not a “food cop” and will not watch what you eat if you do not watch what he eats. (However, he might be willing to do a presentation in exchange for French Fries or chocolate…)
