Information on Motivational Speaker and Trainer, Marcus Girard

Hello my name is Marcus Girard and I was born on November 15, 1972 to Joseph and Carol Girard. I come from a large family where I am the middle child of three older brothers and three younger sisters. I am married to Cecelia Girard and we have been blessed with six wonderful children together.

This company now has over fifteen years experience with both Youth and Adult Leadership Development and Motivational Self—Esteem Training.

My presentations provide valuable insight into the current mindset of today’s youth and adults. I have been blessed to develop several curriculums and programs that include a Statewide Manhood and Fatherhood Training Program and workshops on topics such as Marriage and Family Relationships and Parent Empowerment. I’ve coordinated the Southwest Georgia Teen Fatherhood Program and worked with hundreds of teen mothers in various school systems. I’ve recorded several motivational CD’s and I am now the author of the recently published provocative book for males, “The Wise Men and Women Have Sent Me to tell You.” Recently I started my own radio program and I serve as the host of the extremely popular Internet Radio Talk Show, “The Brother Marcus Show”. You are now listening to me on my radio program. I invite you to check out our archived shows. We have done shows on the mothers of hip hop and r
