Scott 'Q' Marcus

Scott "Q" Marcus refers to himself as a “THINspirational Speaker” because he started speaking professionally after losing 70 pounds in 1994. He now works with people and organizations that are facing challenging times and want to improve communication, diminish conflict, and reduce stress.

Scott is the past president of the northern California chapter of the National Speakers Association. He is a syndicated newspaper columnist, author of three books, a wellness coach and consultant, and the founder and publisher of Two Words Magazine: a motivational publication dedicated to hope, inspiration, and change from a simple phrase. He is also the foundere of ThisTimeIMeanIt.com, when you're tired of making promises and you really want to make a change, it's the place to go.

He is known for lively, playful presentations and has been described as a cross between “business 101, group therapy, and a southern revival.” He reminds you that in order to get the most out of his presentations, you need to put your left-brain on hold, and — although part of what he does is help people lose weight — he is not a “food cop.” He requests you do not monitor what he eats and he will not watch you – however he might be willing to consult with you in exchange for French fries or chocolate (although he'll deny it.)
