Are you a
CEO or Senior Executive?
CEOs everywhere are frustrated.
You may be one of them. Frustrated with the rate of growth of your business or the lack of progress towards your purpose or both.
At Encouraging Leaders, we help successful CEOs and senior leaders become even more successful by accelerating their growth and the growth of every leader at every
level in their organization.
Are You One of Us?
Are you a president, CEO or senior leader trying to grow your business profitably, sustainably AND with purpose?
Are you struggling to attract, train, and develop leaders able to tackle the exponentially growing challenges every business is facing?
If this applies to you then you’re not alone. In 2019, 181 of the world’s top CEOs publicly committed to having a purpose beyond profits and yet every one of them felt the weight of growing challenges just to keep up with current business demands.
Being a President/CEO myself, I know that you can only succeed by developing ways to grow yourself AND grow your team. You need your OWN practical steps to increased profitability and greater purpose, for you, for your team, and for your business.
Work with our team to build a culture of accelerated growth for every leader at every level. A courageous culture delivering exceptional business results with purpose.

Courageous CEO’s Create Courageous Cultures
Over the past 13 years, I’ve been leading one of the most benchmarked cultures in the world, CambridgeAir.com.

WHAT LEADERS SAY
Eric Gilbert,
CEO Anova Furnishings
I’m finally addressing deep challenges in my business. Our core business is sustainably profitable for the first time in 10+ years and we’re having fun. It’s not a coincidence this is all happening since I started working with Marc as an advisor and coach.
Beau Brauer,
President
Hunter Engineering
Marc is smart, experienced, efficient and 100% client-focused. He is a wonderful advisor and friend.
Kevin Thompson, CFO/COO Cambridge Air Solutions
Marc is truly the most capable and talented leader with whom I have worked in my 30+ year career. He is both a highly capable engineer, and a extremely gifted sales leader. But most importantly, he strives to be a SERVANT LEADER, and succeeds much more frequently than not. I am also blessed to count him as a dear friend and mentor.
Doug Eisenhart,
President Cambridge
Air Solutions
I have been very blessed to have worked for strong leaders throughout the last 29 years. Marc's talents blend the proper mix of high intellect, vision and determination with humility, encouragement and care. I appreciate the way in which Marc leads the organization and me personally. I feel Marc's unconditional love for me as a person and his high expectations for me as a leader.
Richard J. Wolkowitz
CEO and Family Advisor of Xylogenesis | Family Office Advisory
Marc has the unique ability to help high-pressured leaders become better versions of themselves, both as a human and as a professional. Marc clearly “walked-the walk” and shares his deep experience to enable me to evolve from within. Marc’s fresh and inspiring approach is a catalyst to my everyday work-life blend. Thank you, Marc!
