Marques Ogden recently spoke to our Washington–Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals organization in Washington, North Carolina. We selected Marques as our first guest speaker for 2022 because the message he brings is vital to aspiring young leaders.  Having someone like Marques speak to our organization was a natural fit. He did a wonderful presentation on the “4 Keys to Growing as a Leader”. Through the vulnerability he displayed in sharing his personal story of overcoming setbacks, he inspired our young professionals to action. We would host Marques again because of his message and his ability to connect with his audience.  Our members raved about the impact Marques‘ talk had on their outlook for weeks to come after our event. Many stayed after the conclusion of his presentation to ask additional questions and receive further insight from Marques.  I would highly recommend Marques as a guest speaker for other Chamber of Commerce events and programs across the country. He is a dynamic speaker and a true inspiration to all of those who hear his message.

To say that Marques gave an amazing conversation to my team would be an understatement. As we roll into Q4, I was looking for a way to motivate my staff to finish the year strong, especially with the business barriers the holidays present for our industry. Marques was able to tie his personal story of success, failure, and perseverance to my team on a level that resonated with their work and personal lives.

I feel a kinship with Marques! I admire his tenacity and his refusal to settle for anything less than he deserves because it takes all you can get in order to help as many as Marques helps! I am following your lead my friend! Keep on doing what you do, because the world needs more of the kind of Motivation, Inspiration and Education that you are offering!

Marques is perhaps one of the most amazing individuals I have come in contact with in a long time. He is disciplined, focused, and always brings his A game to every situation. He is a true winner through and through. I follow him on LinkedIn and Instagram and I am always delighted with his approach to life and in general. He’s a great family man and father. Triple winner in my book any day of the week. It’s my distinct pleasure to recommend him for a variety of things. Marques, I am proud to stand tall with you and your brand! Keep leading well my friend!

I highly recommend Marques Ogden to speak to any organization or group. Through his hard work on and off the field, he will inspire others through his perseverance and generosity to help everyone achieve success. I am certainly glad to have met him and look forward to working with him now and in the future.

I’ve been through thick and thin with Marques Ogden. I am proud to say he was my customer when he owned Kayden Contracting. To our mutual benefit, we stayed in touch all these years. I’ve watched and admire his personal battle for survival, which he won! It was a grueling struggle against incredible odds but he never gave up. As a coach, he uses these experiences to guide his clients to overcome their obstacles and hurdles. For those seeking guidance on how to take their leadership skills to the next level, Marques is that guide.

Marques was a fantastic choice as a speaker for our STEM outreach event. He was extremely poised and articulate, and was clearly very well prepared. He did a great job of showing many of the links between STEM and everyday life. Given his background in sports, the students were immediately interested in what he had to say, seeing a role model they could use as a guide when making decisions for the future. Marques’s presentation was engaging and informative, and several of the students said after that he had made an impression on them and they were now thinking of the links between sports and STEM in new, previously unimagined ways. I really enjoyed seeing the impact he had during this event!

It is a great honor to be working with Marques. We at Pro Med Consulting, Inc. Are so honored to have him speak at our conferences. On a personal level he is one of the most humble and down to earth people we have had the pleasure of working with. His ability to come from a place of yes, his experience in business and the leadership he provides make him a valuable resource.

Marques spoke the Rebel Alliance Workshop, an all star cheerleading owners and coaches conference held specifically to grow individual businesses. He spoke on Successful Traits of a Business, Start to Finish and had overwhelmingly great reviews. He can read an audience, captivate listeners, and is humble enough to share his own mistakes along the way to help others not the do same. He shared how you can rebrand yourself through hard work and creativity. The Owners appreciated his knowledge! I appreciated his professionalism, ease to work with as a speaker, and we will definitely have him back!

“Marques was a fantastic choice as a speak”I just wanted to thank you for our call today and for taking the time back in December to respond immediately to my email. It was then that I knew that in partnering with you it would lead to great things. In just a short time period, I am excited to be part of your coaching family as a client and have already learned that your leadership is going to unlock potential that I would not have with this opportunity.”
