Aurelias Higgs Bio

Marcus is a 'communication coach' for parents of preteens. He helps business professionals who are parents of 10 to 14-year-olds effectively show up and connect with their preteens during these critical formative years to secure a relationship that lasts beyond a lifetime.

He finds joy in supporting multicultural families who communicate across generational and cultural divides. Marcus has served internationally (in East Asia, Europe, South East Asia, the Middle East, and South America) for over twenty years. He also grew up in a diverse home himself (his mom is from the Philippines, and his dad is from the Bahamas), so he understands the challenges of an intercultural family.
