Jeff Marquez, founder of Marquez Leadership, Culture & Strategy, LLC, helps leaders be their better authentic leader self so that you increase your impact and value to your team, boss, peers, and customers. A retired Army colonel and former senior executive with the federal government, he has experienced the chaos and frustration of misaligned priorities, toxic people, and faltering teams due to mistrust. He uses his Homeland, White House, and military experience to help you get beyond the chaos, be the best version of yourself, build trust and confidence, and get the mission done.
“Authenticity” That simple word, authenticity, led me down a path of exploration and self-awareness, with Jeff guiding me along the way. Jeff took the time to ask thought-provoking questions, in an effort to understand my motivations and to understand my expectations. I’m not sure why I opened up so quickly to Jeff. Perhaps it was because he seemed to embody the principle of authenticity and it was something that I felt was missing in my life. Flash forward several months later, I view the world with a new perspective which has helped me both professionally and personally. I have a renewed sense of confidence, perspective, and community.
