Speaking & Presentations

Kris Marks: A Voice of Passion, Inspiration, and Empowerment.

It has been my privilege to serve as keynote speaker, presenter, and/or performer at countless community, corporate, and school events. I would be honoured to share with you my passion and knowledge, and help to create meaningful connections through the inspiring power of storytelling, lived experiences, education, and empowerment.

“When someone gives us the gift of their time and presence, we must not only honour the message we are delivering, but honour those who are receiving it as well.” – Kris Marks

“A dynamic, engaging, and polished speaker on topics such as mental health, suicide loss, men’s mental health, and lived experience (houselessness, suicide survivor, and mental illness). Kris Marks employs a powerful blend of unabashed authenticity and inspiration to deliver meaningful, thought-provoking presentations.” – Speaker Review
