Marcus lives with his wife and two children in Los Angeles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, November 7, 2007
This video series (6 vignettes) is, in a word, amazing. Marcus Buckingham ("First, Break All the Rules") talks about strengths and weaknesses in a very new way. All the while, an unspoken and unnarrated story of a boy and a trombone goes on in parallel. As a corporate trainer, I'm skeptical about this stuff, and find most business videos overpriced, poorly acted, and not well-thought-out. Not so here, as Buckinham's message is clear, relevant, and very useful. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent video series, December 7, 2008
By B. Hayes (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read the book Go Put Your Strengths to Work and thought it was incredible. It's a drastic mind shift from the traditional "fix what's broken" attitude. This video series is incredibly inventive - it drives home a point while being interesting to watch. I intend on taking these videos and turning them into a development program for my employees.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best creative video on the subject, February 25, 2008
By J. M. Coney (Lawrenceville, Georgia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I first say this video, I was set back in amazement on how cleaver Marcus has made a "talking head" video. It is the best I've ever seen and the application is for all businesses and non-profits. I'm going to order 10 more to give to my business friends. I can't say enough to recommend this series. This is well done!

This DVD set is okay, but overpriced for the amount of information it delivers. Maybe it's just me, having seen Marcus Buckingham on a couple of TV shows, but there wasn't enough... Read more
