What her clients say
"Passionate, professional, authentic and actionable. Marke is an energetic speaker loaded with insight and inspiration. She has the ability to tell a story that invokes feeling and makes you think it is happening right in front of you. Very positive and provided actual tools on how to build and sustain a winning team. One of the attendees said 'I want to bottle her up and take her home with me!'"

"Marke’s impact on me as a player but more importantly as a person has been monumental. From trainings to many 1-on-1 phone conversations, Marke helped me take the adverse situations I was facing in basketball and life and use that adversity and uncomfortableness to grow. Marke found a way to use her own experience along with her unique personality, enthusiasm, and ability to connect with others to help me not only see what I am capable of but to actually pursue that version of myself. Statistics could show you I’m a better basketball player since having met Marke, but the intangible impact she’s had on me as a leader and person can’t be quantified. "
