Hired on Thumbtack
I hired Mark through Thumbtack to help me prepare for a keynote, and it was absolutely the right decision.
He was incredibly effective at helping me structure and outline my speech, but what really stood out was the mental side of the coaching. He helped me reframe how I was thinking about the talk, reduce the stress I was carrying, and work through the fear that naturally comes with speaking at a high level.
By the time the keynote came around, I felt far more grounded, clear, and confident than I would have on my own. The coaching wasn’t just about delivery, it was about mindset, preparation, and showing up with intention.
If you’re preparing for an important presentation, keynote, or public talk and want both practical guidance and mental clarity, I’d highly recommend working with Mark.

Mark Antoine (FORBES Communication Coach)'s reply
Ben, thank you so much for this thoughtful review. It was a real pleasure working with you on your keynote.
You did the work with honesty, focus, and courage, and that is what made such a strong difference. I’m especially glad our coaching helped not only with the structure of your talk, but also with the mindset behind it, because that inner shift is often what allows someone to show up with real clarity, presence, and confidence.
Thank you again for your trust, Ben. I’m excited for all the future speaking opportunities ahead of you.

Progressive work, results oriented, quality of time and input. Mark gives homework that actually challenges and changes the behavior and speaking style, polishes the professionalism. Every lesson is a discovery, even when it seems like you know everything. Well done, looking forward to more!

I wanted to feel less stressed about public annoucements needed for my work, and also addressing my team and management as well. In a session Mark addressed all emotional triggers for me, gave me tools to manage my emotions and I was able to start using them immediately. I’ll come back for more sessions for sure.
