These cross-sector relationships aren’t just good for charity—WE partners are proven to gain increased brand recognition and intent to purchase.

Marc will also share the story of his journey, from starting a charity in his parents’ living room with his brother to becoming the leader of a global enterprise spanning five continents and employing over 1,000 people, and the stories that helped shape the strategic decisions made along the way. He will provide insights and lessons from the extraordinary leaders who have coached and mentored him, including lessons in taking big risks, accountability, emotional intelligence and being a shameless idealist.

Unlike any discussion you’ve experienced before, this speech mixes inspiration with strong educational value. It features surprise gifts for participating audience members and stories from over 100 well-known Nobel Laureates, heads of state, industry giants and more, that the audience can choose from.

Audiences will enjoy anecdotes featuring the extraordinary leaders who have coached and mentored Marc—such as Mohammad Ali—and leave with the advice, ideas and actions for creating personal and organizational change.

Marc will share the story of when he and Craig started a movement to change the world at the young ages of 12 and 17, after Craig brought a newspaper clipping—about a young boy in Pakistan who was killed for speaking up about child labor—to school. Their small, burgeoning group of twelve 12-year-olds set out to make a difference, leading Craig to Oprah Winfrey’s couch, where she vowed to help them build 100 schools and change thousands of lives around the world. Over two decades later, Marc and Craig are now the leaders of WE, an organization responsible for building thousands of schools globally, helping millions of people lift themselves out of poverty.

In their two decades of humanitarian work, Marc and Craig have visited dozens of countries, meeting people from all walks of life, learning from some of the greatest leaders of our time, including Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa, and sharing simple meals with families struggling in the world’s most poverty-stricken areas and war zones. Along the way, they discovered a simple but profound truth—that anyone has the power to change the world and real fulfillment starts with having the courage to reach out and help others.

By sharing the ME to WE philosophy, described in their New York Times bestseller ME to WE: Finding Meaning in a Material World, Marc will provide your audience with:

The inspiration for you to discover your own purpose and help you start your own journey to make a difference Tangible tips for anyone to make a difference, whether as a parent, student, front-line staff or CEO

In this speech, Marc will share the tips and knowledge that he’s learned through extensive research, over 1,000 interviews with experts on mentorship and early childhood development, and 20 years of experience working with 16,000 schools engaged in WE Schools.

In the age where selfies and the “me” not “we” mentality is more prevalent than ever, how do parents raise caring and compassionate children, set them on a life path for success and start a family tradition of giving back?
