'Your presentation was excellent . The boys were very engaged as it was both funny and interactive. Yet at the same time, it was serious and thought provoking. We will definitely have you back next year. Their feedback was excellent.' - Sharon Geraghty, Guidance Counsellor, St. Geralds, Castlebar, Co Mayo 'The impact Marc had on both the students and on myself personally were both immediate and lasting. Through his own personal story, his interaction with the students and the challenges he laid before them Marc illustrated that when we face and overcome our fears we are liberated and can achieve so much more. Can there be any more important lesson in life? For this reason Marc has been back to the school on each of the last three years and will be for many more. His message is relevant of course not just to TY but to all student groups and indeed to us all. So I would wish to highly recommend both Marc and his message, it is one we all need to hear. ' - Finian O' Connor, TY Co-Ordinator, Ashbourne Community School, Co. Meath 'They were delighted with the presentation. They really liked the interaction between you and them. The presentation most definitely had a positive effect on the lads. I even received feedback from parents (who weren't in attendance). I would have no qualms in recommending you to other schools (and will do so).' - Sarah Gleeson, Guidance Counsellor, St Joseph's The Bish, Galway 'It was excellent... everyone enjoyed it. I would recommend the talk to others. I want to book again for next year.' - Morgan Lennon, TY Co-Ordinator, Newpark, Blackrock, Co.

Pace and involvement of students great for teenagers.' - Noreen O’Looney, Guidance Counsellor, Presentation College, Askea, Carlow 'I had great feedback both from the girls and from the teachers. The girls really enjoyed it, they said it made them think about how their mind works and both invents and processes different types of fear. Very pleased altogether!' - Deirdre Ryan, TY Co-Ordinator, St. Mary's College, Arklow, Co. Wicklow 'Was brilliant for the students.
