Intuitively we all know these things, right?
The past is the refuge of the timid. The future belongs to those who can routinely shift their focus from what they can do and start seeing the opportunities in what they can't do... YET! The problem? That's scary! Most of us like the phony illusion of security that comes with clinging to the familiar, don't we? It's hard to loosen our grip on what has brought us success in the past and instead embrace the unsure promise of an unknown future. The solution? A CAT mindshift! During his entertaining and highly interactive keynotes Mark creates a "mindshift moment" for his audiences. By sharing his own story about the ups and downs of stepping into the intimidating world of long distance endurance events Mark speaks from a platform of personal experience instead of academic theory. Unlike many speakers, he actually lives every piece of advise he shares. From Running the entire 100 mile length of the Florida Keys in 29 hours to skateboarding 600 miles from Washington DC to Ottawa, Canada with his son. Mark knows a thing or two about getting outside of his comfort zone. Lead with Curiosity... Think with Audacity... Act with TenacityMark's goal is to flick the switch on those mental light bulbs and leave your audience with the tools to innovate change, raise expectations and overcome the resistance to challenging opportunities.
The Three Key Takeaways
About Mark's speaking styleMark's style is a mixture of entertainment, audience involvement and inspiration. He uses stories and hard learned lessons from his own experiences to help your key player develop their own CAT mindset.
Entertaining (so they'll be engaged) Mark is a master story teller. He believes in putting his own advise into action and shares with his audience all the ups and downs of going after his own outrageous goals. There was the impromptu gymnastics class he taught to a crowd of Nepalese kids in the Himalayas. Or the struggle of pushing a heavy loaded touring bicycle 5000 miles around Europe. Or the disastrous outcome of diving off a ten meter platform to impress a girl at the age of fourteen. (We've all been there.) Audience Involvement (so they'll remember) Before entering the corporate world Mark learned the craft of speaking from inspiring teenage athletes. He quickly discovered that he has a lot more fun when his audience is having a lot more fun. He has been known to give phone book tearing lessons, stage hilarious flexibility contests and stump his audience with frustrating bar bets. Inspiration (so they'll take action) All the entertaining and audience involvement is for nothing if they don't leave with mind full of take away ideas that they can start putting into action before they even leave the room. Rather than temporarily motivate a reluctant crowd into briefly flirting with a "better attitude" Mark aims to create a true mind-shift moment that has a lasting effect. |
