ABOUT MARLO
Hey, I’m Marlo. Strategic Director in the US, SA, and UK turned Personal Development Speaker.
As a native of Barbados, I was keenly aware of how beautiful, but small my 21-mile-long island was. Envisioning a path to travel the world and have interesting conversations became clearer when I became a national rugby player at 19 and started playing internationally.
After earning degrees in Economics and Accounting, and having spent 3 months working in the US, I decided to change paths to human development and what it means to live a full life while also being of service to others.
This led me to sell all I owned to fly to Iowa, USA, to meet with a CEO about a job that wasn’t created or funded yet. A year later, I moved to Iowa and directed a human development program, raising over $400,000 and positively impacting over 1500 lives.
After a wonderful 7-year career in Iowa, I travelled across Europe for a year from Finland to Iceland and then down to Spain. I refined my concepts by interviewing over 100 individuals about what progress and living a fulfilling life means to them. I then presented two TEDx Talks and I founded Marlo Clarke Presents Ltd.
Most recently, I live 3 months a year with my wife in South Africa, where she is conducting pioneering research on vultures, and I spearhead volunteer efforts in rural communities. I use a portion of my speaking fees to help build preschools and provide clean water for young learners.
These experiences have given me the insights to create unique and intriguing concepts that have been tested and applied on three continents with thousands of individuals.

WHY MARLO?
My mission is to guide individuals through life's complexities, offering clarity and direction in their professional and personal lives. Just as I've adapted and thrived in diverse environments, I help others navigate changes, setbacks, and successes. By sharing practical strategies, I empower individuals to define their path, overcome challenges, and inspire others along the way. My work helps audiences to define which direction they want to go, strive through setbacks and uncertainties, learn to celebrate their achievements along the way, and most importantly, share their success and lessons with others.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
My presentation style is deeply engaging. I put audiences at ease by taking them on a storytelling journey enabling them to envision their past and future. In this way, the concepts are woven seamlessly through the presentation. With a commitment to two pre-presentation interviews, Marlo ensures a tailored delivery that meets the audience's needs. With captivating storytelling and a balanced dose of humour, Marlo provides a clear and confident path forward, equipping audiences with strategies applicable to all aspects of life.
