Marie Gleeson

“Raw, personal and deeply honest, Marie is an exceptional storyteller. She connected with the audience in that rare way of making everyone in the room feel like she was speaking to them directly, taking them on her journey through the highs and lows of leadership, and life. Her story is a rollercoaster of emotions that reflects the true nature of leadership in all its forms, and will leave you feeling moved, inspired and uplifted.”

Jennifer Welsh, Chief Executive, Northern Health and Social Care Trust

“Marie delivered a very powerful speech to our Executive Institute members. Our membership community is mainly made up of Senior Executives from Ireland’s leading companies. Their feedback for Marie’s session was excellent giving the content a 9.8 out of 10 feedback score. We look forward to working with Marie in the future and are very confident recommending her as a speaker.”

David Malone, Marketing & Communications Director. Executive Institute

“Marie was one of the keynote speakers at our Microsoft Ireland International Women’s Day event. To say that she captivated the room would be an understatement! She is a very inspiring speaker with an amazing story to tell. She connected her story to our theme of equality and the feedback from attendees was excellent. I would highly recommend Marie, she was a pleasure to deal with in the planning stages of the event and delivered a fantastic event for us.”

Eimear Michaels, Senior Manager, Microsoft Business Operations

“When it came to finding the right person to address Irish primary school leaders on the conference theme ‘Leading with Purpose’, there was unanimous agreement that Marie Gleeson would fit the bill. Marie listened to our brief very carefully and delivered a compelling and personal input on resilience, trust, empathy, mental toughness and the need to sustain yourself through your leadership journey.
It’s rare that our audience responds with a standing ovation. Her message clearly resonated strongly with the 950+ principals present. Marie deserved every second of the applause and the accolades that followed.”

Páiric Clerkin, CEO of the Irish Primary Principals’ Network (IPPN)

“We had the pleasure of having Marie speak to our teams at Trigon Hotels as part of our Data Bites programme. Marie is uplifting, inspiring and motivational. She has a unique and powerful story and she tells that story in a way that captures an audience. Whilst the story is unique, it had the ability to resonate with a broad group of people in different ways. Marie’s experience in leadership and team engagement connected strongly with our own team while also having very human side that gave a real sense of balance. I would highly recommend Marie as she has such an energetic and positive disposition and really is a pleasure to listen to.”
