Marilyn Tam is truly a super star...... Her presentation and her principles are what we believe in and how we need to operate and live to succeed. She expressed so powerfully and eloquently our mission and standards in a way that we can all understand and use to achieve our mission. Her experiences are indicative of her commitment to promoting and enhancing cross-cultural awareness and diversity throughout the world. Her achievements reflect great credit upon her, global leaders, and the United States of America…… My wife and I are going to have our children read her book to further inspire them to attain their dreams.

Marilyn is an amazing speaker and person! Marilyn was captivating through her storytelling which included data and humor. We were humbled, awed, and inspired with how she discovered the lessons she was teaching. The lessons were presented to us as easy to remember tips. Marilyn’s message was universal and felt inclusive. Our keynote attendees continued sending us her praise days after the event.

If you’re looking for an engaging, inspiring, and genuine keynote speaker, I cannot recommend Marilyn Tam more highly! Marilyn was our opening keynote at our annual conference and set the tone for a conference that exceeded all expectations. Our members are career counselors across the lifespan and across the globe and require a balance between inspiration and information and Marilyn delivered both beautifully. Our Twitter/X feed for the conference lit up during and well after her presentation! On a practical note, she was incredibly easy to work with! We try not to repeat presenters too often, but I already had attendees ask me when we’d have her back. The sooner the better!
