Inspiration & insight with an edge!

Marcy’s compelling, authoritative, well-researched books, keynotes and projects click into place the “How to Succeed” puzzle we’ve spent our lives building.

Why?

Because Showing Up is not a peripheral feature of our operating system.

It’s our DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC!

Backed by 20 years of research, Marcy explains the three roles in which nature designed us to Show Up every moment.

She details our lived patterns of JUST Showing Up, why and how they happen, then seeds our minds with immediately effective tools that help us Show Up better, lead better, relate better and achieve more.

And she explains critical skills such as ALLTELLLIGENCE, defined as connectedness with intent to serve, that we all need to feel whole, happy and to create the world we want.

 EVER NOTICED...
WE JUST SHOW UP?

…LEAVING PERFORMANCE TO CHANCE?

 

Up to 80% of Americans lay in bed each night feeling we’re underachieving our potential.

Executives tire helping teams bond and access creativity that’s out of reach when we’re JUST Showing Up.

The surprising truth? We’re not clear what it means to TRULY SHOW UP!

The answer is the model and mindset of how nature designed humans to Show Up!

SHOWING UP is not a self-project

Showing Up isn’t just one person being and doing their best.

It is relational, working in systems — families, companies, friendships and communities — vitalizing our responsibility to, with and for each other and society.

It explicitly embraces, nourishes, and substantiates our accountability for co-creating and sustaining a healthy, flourishing world, while being tactically easy to enact in the busy flow of our 9-5.

When we Truly Show Up:

  • We trust, we care, we create more than was there.

  • We live in reciprocity, as accountable individuals, leaders and corporations, as well as vital components of the collective.

ABOUT MARCY AXELROD

ARCHITECT OF THE
SHOW UP SYSTEM

 
 
 

Marcy Axelrod is a keynote and two-time TEDx speaker, bestselling author and management consultant. Her compelling, authoritative, well-researched talks instantly shift how we work, relate, and live by establishing in 3-D what it means to “Truly Show Up!”.

After Wall Street, Marcy switched coasts to Silicon Valley, investing 20+ years as a leader in KPMG Consulting’s high-tech strategy practice, working with some of the world’s most successful tech pioneers, leadership teams and corporations.

She has been interviewed in Forbes multiple times, spoken for organizations and universities such as Harvard, Cornell, The NY 100 Club, and International Association of Innovation Professionals, as well as corporate clients around the world.

With her keynotes, as well as her first book, "On Your Game" she draws upon proprietary research and applies neuroscience, psychology and behavioral economics to explain why 80% of Americans believe we underachieve, and what to do about it.

Marcy's latest book, “How We Choose to Show Up”, highlights something we’re all doing, to one degree or another – improvising through life, with more “Just show up” and less “What matters?” and “How do I make it happen?”

Self-reflecting and intentful choice are often condensed, if not cancelled, by crowded schedules, tech-centricity and modern culture. We’re left living in our left hemisphere’s attention system, one designed to have power over, not to connect with.

The result? When we JUST Show up we experience people as objects to control, to fear or to defend against.

The solution is to use our right hemisphere’s attention system, the one that cares, that “feels with”, is naturally authentic, engaging and deeply effective. This is Truly SHowing Up.
