Nick Prefontaine
I had the pleasure of sharing a stage with Marisa this past fall (2021) in New York City. You can tell that Marisa is truly an authority on the material she covered. Marisa is a professional speaker who will take complex thoughts and idea’s and break them down so that the audience can easily grasp and understand them. Marisa was very supportive of not only me but of all the other speakers that we worked with. I hope to see more of Marisa and look forward to sharing big stages with her.

I had the pleasure of taking part in the speaker salon in the fall of 21' in New York City with Marisa. You can tell that Marisa is truly an authority on the material she covered. Marisa is a professional speaker who will take complex thoughts and idea’s and break them down so that the audience can easily grasp and understand them. Marisa was very supportive of not only me but of all the other participants of the speaker salon. I gained insight from her that I will use in this talk for years to come. I hope to see more of Marisa and look forward to sharing big stages with her.

I've seen it with my own eyes. Heard it with my own ears. Experienced it live and in person...and recorded on a screen. Marisa Zalabak is an exceptional speaker. I got to know Marisa through Speakers Who Dare...We both delivered talks with messages that can change the world for the better. And her presentation on the role of humanity in artificial intelligence blew me away. Perhaps it's her delivery. Perhaps it's her content. Perhaps it's the combination of both. In any case, Marisa delivers powerful talks on complex topics in a way that makes you perk up and listen. The result? You learn something that can make a profound difference in your own life and the lives of many. You're amazing, Marisa. I am glad to know you! 🤘👊💥😎

Adaptive Leadership Coach, Organizational Culture Consultant, TEDx & Keynote Speaker, Educational Psychologist, Social-Emotional-Creative Intelligence Specialist, Equity Advisor and AI Ethicist. I partner with socially conscious leaders and teams dedicated to positively contributing to the well-being of people and the planet as we navigate the possibilities and challenges of the emerging future. Adaptive leaders know that the most valuable investment is in people, honing the skills and abilities needed for adapting, transforming, collaborating, and mobilizing in the midst of a rapidly changing world---including understanding how to partner with advanced technologies. By providing tangible steps and skills for realigning and clarifying mission, vision, values that lead to meaningful action, we support leaders committed to regenerative business practices (realizing profit through increasing the well-being of people and the planet). This includes building skills for co-creating flourishing Organizational Cultures: Emotional, Social, & Creative Intelligences, Organizational Diversity & Equity, Continuous Learning, Character Development, Sustainable & Regenerative Practices, and AI Ethics. When well-being is at the core, everyone benefits. The capacity for profit is increased, alongside motivation, satisfaction, sense of purpose, belonging, and joy.
