Hi, I'm Fabio Marques. 

No matter how much you already know about me, I want to be totally transparent with you.

I grew up feeling unworthy of success. 

I felt like I was not good enough. 

I had a stuttering problem, and that didn't contribute to build my self-confidence. 

In my desperate search for approval from others (Mom, Dad, Friends, Bosses, Clients, Society), I started working very early in life, at 11 years old...

At 14, I was already working full-time jobs and attending school at night, studying foreign languages in weekends, doing everything in my power to be a success and earn the respect from others. 

Gastritis, anxiety, insomnia, exhaustion... CAR CRASH!!! 

Months to walk normal again... Years to be able to play sports again and have a "normal" life. 

But I continued to move fast...

At 20 years old, I got promoted to be the Head of a Business Unit for a multinational corporation.

"Now I really have to prove my value!"

Working 12-16 hours a day, non-stop, didn't get me very far...

One night, alone in my office, so tired I couldn't get myself out of the chair, I dropped my face in my hands and started crying...

I didn't know what to do. 

It seemed like - no matter how hard I tried - I would never be really successful and have a healthy life...

I spent that night in my office, alone, struggling with my feelings and thoughts...

Next morning, as my employees arrived, one of them entered my office and closed the door behind him.

He wanted to talk to me about anticipating his vacation.

I was working like crazy, and he wanted to anticipate his vacation.

SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE.

I HAD TO CHANGE.

I decided to become the most effective leader I could be. 

I decided to achieve Excellence and Extraordinary Results through a High-Performance Team. 

And - above all - I was determined to achieve all that without sacrificing my personal life anymore.

Of course, I knew that just my decision would not be enough. I needed a system to accomplish that. And, clearly, I would need to go the extra mile, every day, for a while, until I could finally figure it out.

After hundreds of hours of self-directed education, I created what I secretly called "THE MAGNA INFLUENCE BLUEPRINT" and started testing it every day with my team, my clients, my boss, my peers, and business partners...

I used the "PLAN, DO, CHECK, LEARN, ADJUST" CYCLE several times, refining and fine tuning... growing my influence and getting more engagement, collaboration, creating MUCH MORE VALUE in every interaction I had with others...

It worked. 

Two years later, the operation under my command was the best in Latin America and the 3rd best in the world in our industry. I was working much less and enjoying every minute of my life. 

I found time to learn how to play the guitar, the drums, and the piano, and to surf again (something I hadn't done for years), and to practice martial arts. 

I found time to travel, to fall in love... to HAVE A LIFE.

I became FREE to pursue other projects. 

I was not stuck anymore...

My "Magna Influence Blueprint" saved my life and gave me a greater purpose...

After my own accomplishments, I decided to help others do the same. 

Since 1996 I help Business Owners, Executives, Directors and Managers develop MAGNA INFLUENCE POWERS, so that they can Build High Performance Teams and Achieve Extraordinary Results for themselves and for the organizations they represent, without having to sacrifice their life in the process! 

Companies like Audi, Apple, Cisco, Corteva, Citibank, Dow, Dupont, JLL, Microsoft, Motorola, Merck, McDonald's, Nestlé, Oracle, Puratos, Schneider Electric - and hundreds of others of same caliber - have trusted me to inspire and empower their leaders and teams in more than 20 countries.

NOW I want to help YOU with the MAGNA INFLUENCE BLUEPRINT.

Today's technology makes it possible for us to work together, no matter where we are in the world.

WE CAN DO THIS.

Let's be the HEROES OF INFLUENCE that make a huge positive impact on the world!

Let's make a difference!
