Marc is the author of the bestselling book, Permission To Feel (Celadon/Macmillan), which has been translated into 22 languages. Most recently, with Pinterest co-founder Ben Silbermann, Marc and his team co-created the Apple award-winning app, HowWeFeel, that was designed to teach emotion skills and enhance well-being.

He is co-founder of Oji Life Lab, a corporate learning firm that develops innovative digital learning systems for emotional intelligence.

About Hal:

Hal Elrod is on a mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one morning and one person at a time. After surviving multiple near-death experiences—including a 70 mph head-on car crash with a drunk driver that left him clinically dead for 6 minutes and a rare form of cancer that doctors gave him a 20-30% chance of surviving—he is doing exactly that. 

Although he has lived a life that would break most people, he’s somehow managed to turn all his adversities into perspectives and practices that have helped millions of people transform their lives.

 As an international keynote speaker and author of 12 books that have sold a combined 3.5 million copies, he is best known for The Miracle Morning—which has sold over 2 million copies, been translated into 37 languages, and has garnered over 50,000 five-star reviews online. 

His latest project is his new book, The Miracle Morning Updated and Expanded Edition, in which he has rewritten nearly every page and added over 70 pages of new content, including two new chapters: “The Miracle Evening: Your Strategy for Blissful Bedtime and Better Sleep” and “The Miracle Life: Your Path to Inner Freedom.” 

Hal will entertain, inspire, and empower your audience with his unparalleled energy and practical strategies to overcome any challenges they’re facing, and change any aspect of their lives, simply by changing the way they start their day.

About Mike:

Decades before mainstream America was discussing "Asking First" or sexual harassment cases were on the cover of every major media publication, Domitrz was being brought in by leading educational institutions and the U.S. military to help them pursue a new standard of consent and respect. With Mike being a Hall-of-Fame Speaker, the author of 3 books and an award-winning DVD, you get one of the leading influencers and thought-leaders on the topic of Respect.

You may have seen Mike on NBC Dateline as a featured subject matter expert or being quoted in international news publications such as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. He is continuously being sought out for his proven track record of helping shift the paradigm for people.

In 2003, Mike founded what is now The Center for Respect which conducts keynotes and workshops for tens of thousands each year. Mike's extensive experience enables him to connect with audiences of all ages in honest, unique conversations that are always built on creating positive behavioral change for each individual and the organization as a whole. Imagine teaching 15-year-olds about “Asking First” and then later that same day talking with CEOs about creating mutually amazing relationships in the workplace.

And now in his unique weekend retreats, Mike is helping individuals and couples build mutually amazing relationships in every facet of their lives - from intimacy to loving relationships to workplace connections. Today, Mike is here with us.  www.CenterForRespect.com  https://www.instagram.com/mikerespects/ https://twitter.com/centerrespect https://www.youtube.com/centerforrespect https://www.facebook.com/CenterForRespect/ Hello@CenterForRespect.com THE HARLAN COHEN PODCAST New York Times bestselling author Harlan Cohen has candid conversations with top experts, and leading influencers.

ABOUT MARK: Mark Salisbury is a nationally-renowned author, speaker, educator, and champion of college price transparency as a primary way to simplify and improve the college admissions process.  His work has been highlighted by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, TED, Forbes, CNBC, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and NPR.  In addition, he is a regular podcast guest for conversations about college admissions and higher education.  Mark earned his PhD from the University of Iowa and holds additional degrees from the University of Minnesota and the University of Kansas.  Before launching the TuitionFit project (tuitionfit.org) to empower the public by crowdsourcing college price transparency, he was an Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs and Director of Institutional Research at Augustana College in Illinois, and a Board member for the Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium.

Mark's experience in higher education spans a quarter century at both large and small colleges and universities.  He began his career in college athletics, coaching both men's and women's soccer at NCAA div. 1 and 2 universities.  After a decade in college athletics, during a period of intense growth and change in women's sports, Mark stepped away from coaching to focus on admissions and financial aid.  Shortly thereafter, he accepted a research assistantship on a national, six-year study of college students based at the University of Iowa. This launched a new phase of Mark's career as a higher education scholar, consultant, writer, and speaker.

Mark continues to write and present to audiences across the higher education landscape.  His work with TuitionFit is featured in two new best-selling books that take you behind the scenes of what’s going on in the financial aid system- Jeff Sellingo’s “Who Gets In and Why” and Ron Lieber’s “The Price You Pay for College.”  He also work with The College Guidance Network as their expert on all things college costs.

In addition to his work in higher education, Mark has been a professional musician, a stand-up comedian, and an improv theater performer, even conducting workshops across the country for educators on how to apply the principles of improvisation to improve teaching and learning.

Mark lives in Davenport, Iowa, with his wife, two sons, and five cats (MEOW!).

Cindy, a graduate of Stanford University, is an expert in the college admission process: she got her start in admission offices before opening a private study skills and college counseling business in Southern California, which she ran for over fifteen years. As an Assistant Director of Admission for the Illinois Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago, she screened and reviewed over three thousand applications, interviewed prospective students, and served on the admission committee to evaluate borderline applicants and appeals cases.

Since closing her private educational practice in 2011, Cindy has focused on public speaking to student, parent, school and business groups on a variety of education-related topics.

Over the course of her career, Cindy has written numerous books: The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen’s Wellness and Academic Journey in Today’s Competitive World (Familius/Workman/Hachette, 2020), The Best College Admission Essays (co-author, ARCO/Peterson’s, 1997), The Everything Guide to Study Skills: Strategies, Tips, and Tools You Need to Succeed in School (Simon& Schuster, 2011), Straight-A Study Skills (co-author, Simon& Schuster, 2012), The Everything College Checklist Book (Simon& Schuster, 2013), Writing Successful College Applications: It’s More than Just the Essay (Peterson’s Publishing, 2014), and four other books (Simon & Schuster and Penguin Random House).
