I have been mostly only focused on growth in my profession and my personal growth has little to no progress in the previous years. I was almost in tears while reflecting on how little I do to grow myself outside of work.”
– Jackson Contractor Group, Inc.
“Best speaker I’ve probably ever seen. Things he said really resonated with me on a personal and professional level.”
– Jackson Contractor Group, Inc.

– Jackson Contractor Group, Inc.

“This program has instilled in me the confidence and drive I needed to push forward.”
– Leader Circle Member, GENERAL FOREMAN
“As a Human Resources Specialist, I found Mark to be very engaging and informative. His ability to be relatable to individuals within the construction industry is a valuable asset. I am happy to share the knowledge gained today in the 5 Minute Foreman Webinar with all the Crew Chiefs, Supervisors and other managers within our organization and would highly recommend other construction companies to engage with Mark Breslin strategies to develop great leaders within their organizations.” – HR Manager, Makloc
“It really was amazing. I have never been to one of our seminars/trainings where a group was so engaged with Mark. He truly commands a room. They were never bored. They ALL came away with something. I’m hearing feed back about the guys talking about it on the job sites. That is the true sign of a successful training/seminar! Someone that truly gets them thinking, and talking! I am so impressed, and happy that we did have Mark come in.” – S.A. Comunale Co., Inc.
“The way you put others before yourself, the way you didn’t just talk about yourself, you led differently than what I had experienced before.
Your speech changed the trajectory of my career and life.” – UBC Apprentice
“The buzz this week was so positive and uplifting with regards to his training. Most of the team members had worked a 12 day and to come back to the training center for another 4 hours of classroom times was a lot. I witnessed a whole classroom of engaged, focused and inspired men and women while listening to Mark speak. We look forward to more trainings in the future.” – Anvil Builders
“This hasn’t been an easy journey, but struggle brings people together & bonds us. I made connections here that I will have for the rest of my life.”

“The presentation was excellent. I thought Mark did a great job speaking to everyone and knew how to involve the group and speak on their level. I think the content was great. The feedback going forward has been positive. The group feels good about their contributions to the division. I think good things will come from this.”
Danielle Paulson
Senior Manager, Mortenson
“I cannot say enough about Mark’s Five Minute Foreman workshop. Mark is approachable, relevant, and 100% engaging. Like anyone else in the construction industry, we struggle to engage our field leaders for any kind of formal learning experience – Mark had them on the edge of their seat (and taking notes!!!) for over four hours. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive and consistent across the board – they loved it and want more of Mark!”
Michael Lee
President, Lakeside Industries
“His approach was spot on, and I know he “spoke” to our people. They came away with a better understanding of how important their leadership is to our company and inspired to step up. Countless people came up to me to express how great they thought he was. As I told Mark at the end of his speech, he hit it out of the park. “
