Marc Accetta portrays characters from different walks of life with the goal of making his audience understand that there are many different ways to achieve personal success, regardless of age, occupation, or social stature. A far cry from the conventional way of conducting seminars wherein the speaker simply speaks in front of his audience, droning on and on about his message, this technique is proven effective as he enables his audience to remember the lessons by providing them with audio-visual markers. Through edutainment, Marc is able to capture his audience’s interest, entertain them (he goes all out with his costumes, props, lighting and stage design, adding to the allure of his technique), and deliver valuable life lessons to remember.

Marc Accetta, the British Phone Booth and the “Who Moved my Cheese” Book

One of Marc Accetta’s daughters urged him to take a picture inside the famous red British phone booth during his first trip to London. He found it odd that he had difficulty finding one, finally spotting only several of these located near the Parliament. Now that almost everyone in the world uses mobile phones, who needs pay phones? Because of change, the pay phone that used to be a staple in cities is now replaced by pocket-sized mobile phones. Who knows that in the future, these little phones that we carry today will become obsolete and be replaced by a more high-tech gadget.

From Marc Accetta

This was pondered upon by Marc Accetta during his search for the phone booth. He came to think about change and how many people try to resist it. As a well-known speaker and life coach, Marc supports the fact that change is the only thing constant in this world and believes that not having the willingness to adapt to change is a fundamental problem. To be able to get ahead of everybody else and succeed, one has to understand that change is a natural part of life.

From Marc Accetta

For those having difficulty accepting change, Marc encourages reading the book “Who Moved my Cheese? An Amazing way to Deal with Change in your Work and in your Life” written by Spencer Johnson. It is a great read not only for adults but also for children since the book is written in the style of a parable, following the journey of two mice and two “little people” in search of cheese.

Marc Accetta Pays It Forward with His Unstoppable Foundation

From Marc Accetta

Living up to the motto “We Create Champions,” Marc Accetta, founder of Marc Accetta Seminars and Director of Training for WorldVentures, gives back and pays it forward to the American youth through the Unstoppable Foundation.

Having lived a blessed and successful life, Marc was encouraged by his wife Kelly to participate and contribute to the cause of the Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) foundation, the oldest and largest mentoring organization in the country. The foundation aims to provide children with positive relationships that would instill positive traits in them and develop their confidence. The organization's cause has shown positive effects in helping keep the youth in school and away from substance addiction.

From Marc Accetta

Through the foundation, Marc Accetta and his wife took in to their care a boy named William who lost his father to a heart attack at a very young age. The couple has been recognized for their contributions to BBBS that they are now members of the local BBBS Board of Directors at Colin County, TX.

From Marc Accetta

Inspired by their experience with BBBS, the couple established their own organization called the “Unstoppable Foundation.” The foundation desires to equip the youth with fundamental lessons, including money management, character building, and self-confidence to help them realize their dreams.

Marc explains, “We're hoping our schools are teaching these things, but really they're focusing on the book education of our children. And in some of the homes in America, these things are not being taught; parents are not realizing it's their responsibility.”

People: The Zappos Core Element Explained by Marc Accetta

It was during a business and personal development training seminar that Marc Accetta first encountered Tony Hsieh, one of the most highly-regarded online marketing experts worldwide.

From Marc Accetta

Tony Hsieh is the CEO of Zappos, an online clothing and accessory store. Hsieh confessed to Accetta that he was concerned when Amazon showed interest in acquiring Zappos. Besides the company’s sentimental value, Zappos was built through hard work and key values that have been fundamental to the company’s success. These key values are known as The 10 Core Components of Zappos Culture - the guiding force behind every Zappos employee and the basis of every decision made by the company.

From Marc Accetta

The Zappos’ culture emphasizes on one core element: The People. Marc Accetta observes that the culture is built on the company’s high regard for every single member of the Zappos workforce – from executive management down to each and every employee.

Chip Conley’s book “Peak,” is one of Hsieh’s greatest influences. The book was inspired by Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs, which Hsieh had narrowed down to three parts: a job, a career, and a calling. The three parts have served as Hsieh’s guide in focusing on the talents his employees possess and keeping them true to their calling.

After Amazon acquired the company in 2009, Tony continued running Zappos as CEO, making sure that the 10 Core Components are upheld and that the people never lose sight of their calling.

Marc Accetta Shares His Blessings By Playing Big Brother

From Marc Accetta

Marc Accetta has been blessed in life, with a successful career as a globally acclaimed motivational speaker, and a loving, supportive family. As a way of giving back and sharing his life’s blessings to those who need it, he and his wife Kelly are involved in the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps children reach their full potential through one-to-one relationships with mentors that aim to have a positive impact on youth.

Marc’s “little brother” is William Timmerman, one of the five children in the Timmerman household. In 2001, William lost his father – his heart suddenly stopped. Mr. Timmerman was revived, but died eleven days later due to an irreparable damage to his heart caused by a recent bout with the flu virus. Marc Accetta, together with this family, helped him get over his grief and get his life back on track.

From Marc Accetta

Before the Accetta family came along and shortly after his father’s death, William and his siblings felt neglected because their mother had to work long hours to make both ends meet. William started suffering from anxiety attacks, and became withdrawn and quiet. He even had an imaginary friend named Fred. Thankfully, with the organization’s help, Marc’s positive influence, and the love and support from the Accetta family, William grew with confidence and self-assurance.
