Marni Spencer-Devlin Profile

Bestselling author, Marni Spencer-Devlin uses her harrowing story as the example to teach her empowering brand of personal and professional Authentic Leadership to corporate professionals worldwide.

Audiences are enthralled to learn how Marni was molested, raped and forcibly addicted to heroin. She became a prostitute, a criminal, was homeless for a time and finally, ended up in prison.

After eighteen, long months in prison, Marni emerged deeply determined to create a better life for herself. With hard work and grit, she created a multimillion-dollar marketing company with seventy employees. Her life became a fairy tale, yet she sensed that somehow something was missing. Still trapped in a prison of sorts; she didn’t realize that she had merely traded police handcuffs for golden handcuffs.

What happened next drove home the point with ferocity. She was diagnosed with a deadly disease and only given a year to live. Surprisingly, this became her greatest gift. With seemingly nothing left to lose, Marni discovered the phenomenal power behind profound authenticity. This helped her, not only to survive but, thrive.

Today Marni is passionate about sharing her unique insights to show corporate audiences how to use Authentic Leadership to create exponentially increased effectiveness, far higher productivity and much greater happiness and fulfillment, both professionally as well as personally.

She is the author of two books, her bestselling autobiography, Crawling into The Light as well as The Iceberg Principles, which outlines the philosophies the make Marni’s strategies so transformational and empowering. She was also a contributing writer to the book, Insider Strategies of Industry Leading Consultants.

The Iceberg Principles: The Truth About The Universe And Your Place In It

The Iceberg Principles are a concept that illustrates the truth of who we are as human beings.

As with an iceberg, only 4% of us shows. Our physical DNA describes us but it does not really define who we are. Our talents and strengths, things we love, our unique gifts and quirks – those are the 96% that define us and those things are invisible.

We exist to express what lies in the 96% in the 4%; only in this way can we feel whole.

When we think we are nothing more than what shows in the mirror we are separated from ourselves and everyone else; lonely and exposed to the dangers. Life is about competition. We compare ourselves to others and always somehow we come up short.

When we ignore or suppress the gifts and talents in our 96% we experience depression. We feel anxiety because we know deep down that there is more to us and we are wasting our life. We feel out of sync and eventually we end up in dis-ease, which causes physical and emotional pain, and that is the root ofaddictions like overeating, alcohol and drugs misuse – prescription or otherwise, and even smoking.

When we cultivate what lies in our 96% we tap into an inexhaustible storehouse of inner strength, vitality and energy. When we honor our gifts and hone our talents we do what we love and life becomes passionate.

We benefit and so does everyone else around us. When we love and honor ourselves ourrelationships automatically become more loving. Life is no longer about unmet needs but about what we have to share with the world. Then we open up the flood gates to abundance and affluence. Ease and harmony prevail and life becomes so good that we have to pinch ourselves. Everything that we desire as human beings is right at our fingertips and there is not a thing we need to change to get it. On the contrary, The Iceberg Principles show that in order to feel complete we must become more of who we already are.
