"Our members go in to Mark’s trainings with little experience in this arena but come out with the tools and confidence
needed to have successful interactions with government officials."

"[T]hank you again for the succinct and phenomenally effective training you provided...It's inspired me to be more secure and targeted about how I approach policymaking from a scientific standpoint."

"Mark's course was above my expectations. After taking Mark's course, I started thinking from a different perspective."

WATCH THE REEL HERE

"Mark's presentation was highly entertaining. But as I was following that story, I realized there were some really good messages in it, and so I was writing down furiously all the good tips that were coming through it, but also laughing and engaging in the great story that he told."
