About our guest: Marcus supports parents of preteens (10-14 y.o.) so they can show up and maintain a meaningful relationship with their child during these natural 'identity breaking' years. He works with parents who value doing hard things and want to be present for their tween before it's too late to bridge the gap. He especially finds joy in supporting multicultural families; families who communicate across generational and cultural divides.
With experience in over 20 countries, Marcus developed a profound understanding of human connection and the transformative power of relationships. Marcus believes that discovering and nurturing our innate greatness comes through the bonds we share with ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world around us.
Marcus is on a mission to globally mend parent/child relationships through communication and the stories they share using 'The SHOW UP Framework'.
Marcus, thanks for sharing your many gifts with children and families, for doing the vital work you do, and for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients. Welcome to the show!
