Mistress of Ceremony

Marla Zemanek

A native of Texas, Marla grew up in the Bay Area. She received a Master’s degree in Special Education and taught severely developmentally disabled and institutionalized teens and adults for 12 years.  Following that, she earned a Master’s degree in Educational Technology – the field of training and development, and began a 25 year career as a corporate trainer and instructional designer specializing in management and employee development. She has worked for many of the large corporations around the Bay Area, such as the GAP, Union Bank, Kaiser, SF State, Bechtel and the Fairmont Hotel, but prefers to be her own boss.  Currently a part-time instructor at Golden Gate University, Marla teaches the course most people fear - public speaking - and also works with private clients and companies. Her favorite strategy in this area is teaching others to speak with passion. She is currently developing a project to teach presentation skills to managers in a European corporation based in Cairo Egypt.  Challenged to maintain a work-life balance, Marla is a single mother of a 12-year old boy and is the president of South Beach BNI, a local chapter of Business Networking International.

"Turning Tragedy Around"
TC Culberson
Author of "Oops You're Dead"
TC Culberson is a real-life example of what it means to turn tragedy into passion and purpose. She became very familiar with the medical industry during her 14-year crusade with her husband during his fight for health. He suffered from a rare degenerative illness that required several surgeries, complicated medication schedules, countless trips to the emergency room, and an average of three hospital stays per year. As a software developer for over 15 years, TC learned systematic problem solving and creating solutions through process evaluation and design. Applying these skills to her experiences, she developed the system found in Oops! You're Dead: A Helpful Handbook for Surviving Surgery and in her speech: New Rules for Modern Medicine
