PARIS, Oct. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mark Antoine, Founder and CEO of Inspired Keynotes, an event services company providing global corporations with storytelling and public speaking coaching, as well as keynotes & emcee services, has been accepted into Forbes Coaches Council, an invitation-only community for leading business and career coaches.
Mark Antoine was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of his experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.
"We are honored to welcome Mark Antoine into the community," said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, the collective that includes Forbes Coaches Council. "Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world."
As an accepted member of the Council, Mark Antoine has access to a variety of exclusive opportunities designed to help him reach peak professional influence. He will connect and collaborate with other respected local leaders in a private forum. Mark will also be invited to work with a professional editorial team to share his expert insights in original business articles on Forbes.com, and to contribute to published Q&A panels alongside other experts.
Finally, Mark Antoine will benefit from exclusive access to vetted business service partners, membership-branded marketing collateral, and the high-touch support of the Forbes Councils member concierge team.
"I am so honored and excited to be part of such prestigious group of people at Forbes Coaches Council" said Mark Antoine, founder and CEO of Inspired Keynotes. "Growing up Gay and with speech and communication problems (double lisps) was such a challenge for me to feel like I belonged, that my wish today to help and coach legions who fear they don't belong on a stage or think they are not good enough, or that everyone is going to hate what they say, is a feeling too close to home for me not to jump in and help."
Mark Antoine added: "I ask one question to all my clients: why are you going to do a presentation? The answers I most often get are: because I have to / because my boss asked me to… because people need to know… because we want to share best practices…
I tell them all that it's not the reason. The reason one person would stand in front of another (or hundreds of them in an audience) – the only valid reason is to change them.
Change how they feel and how they think. Preferably without slides, because there wasn't a "I have a dream" slide. Martin Luther King's power came from his emotions and his story.
This is what I am here for, make others realize they have power to positively impact and influence each other."
