MARK'S SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
​ ​
​​C.A.T. ZONE Performance

• CONSISTENTLY CREATE HIGH-VALUE IDEAS
• BECOME LASER FOCUSED ACTION TAKERS
• DEFINE OBSTACLES AS REASONS TO TRY HARDER NOT EXCUSES TO QUIT​

Are you an expert? Be careful!

Too many of us fall into the trap of limiting our growth potential by clinging to the false security past success. Mark’s C.A.T. Zone Performance template helps  people get out of the "expert trap" and develop a reputation for being a high-value idea resource, a bold action taker, and a resilient defeater of obstacles and barriers.

Mark's entertaining and inspiring speeches give people the mindset foundation they need to take their performance to the next level. With authentic storytelling and engaging visuals from his own adventures, and his C.A.T. Zone mindset experience, Mark will show your team how to shake off the intimidation of thinking big and start having fun going  after challenging goals. 
​
 In This Fun and Energizing Session, You Will Learn How To:

• Consistently generate high-value ideas
• Routinely perform outside your comfort zones
• Turn yourself into an idea magnet
• Act on belief instead of waiting for guarantees
• Get fired up and excited about the things you "can't" do
• Build a self-image based around your potential instead of your past 
• Approach fear as a test of your perseverance, not a reason to quit
• Be a wanter who takes action instead of a wisher who makes excuses 
• Use past successes as a springboard to what's next instead of an anchor to what's safe and familiar
• Know the difference between which fears to ignore and which fears to take very seriously
• Develop the habits of winning persistence

​THREE KEY Takeaways 

• Curious team members who are opportunity focused problem solvers, solution seekers and innovators.
• Audacious team members who are decisive action takers even when it's "hard", "uncomfortable" or "scary"
• ​Tenacious team members with the relentless grit to crush obstacles and keep making forward progress until they nail the tough projects that lesser teams would quit on

HOW He Does That
Drawing from his experiences of dreaming up and pursuing his own outrageous goals, (he once rode a skateboard 600 miles from Washington DC to Ottawa, Canada for example) he presents entertaining and highly inspiring keynote addresses to audiences who want to routinely outperform themselves. 

WHO Hires Mark?
Companies and organizations that want the competitive advantage of teams packed with innovative thinkers, driven action takers and resilient achievers. 
​
MARK'S GOAL is to Leave His Audience:

• Driven by a foundation of wonder and curiosity about all the rewarding opportunities they may have been mindlessly missing in the past
• Audacious enough to take bold, decisive action regardless of how hard, uncomfortable or scary it is
• Strengthened to keep pushing forward with the emotional endurance of persistent tenacity

 

The three C.A.T. questions your team will ask themselves everyday...

Are we thinking with innovative CURIOSITY?

Are we acting with bold AUDACITY?

​Are we persisting with relentless TENACITY?

MARK GIBSON

Learn How to Perform in the C.A.T. ZONE
​
​Curiosity-Audacity-Tenacity
From running the 100 mile length of the Florida Keys to riding a skateboard 600 miles to Canada and  riding a bicycle 2,700 miles along the U.S. Continental Divide and more, his programs are a highly engaging and entertaining masterclass in thinking creatively, acting boldly and persevering relentlessly.

​In his signature keynote Mark brings together humor, audience interaction and stories of his own misadventures to explain the process of how he takes a crazy idea and makes it happen.

"They may not leave wanting to ride a bicycle across the US or run a double marathon across the Grand Canyon but they will definitely leave with a reignited outlook about what they do, how they do it and why they should do it bigger, bolder and better!"

 Top Ten 
​Reasons People Hire Mark
​
1
We need to get out of the habitual routine of just "doing things the way they've always been done"
2
We need to stop being so intimidated by big ideas
3
Our creative thinking needs a kick in the pants
4
We need to get the whole team on board with new changes
5
Constantly motivating lethargic team members is unproductive. We need people who know how to be self-motivated
6
We need everyone to step up their game to pull off this difficult challenge and not just quit at the first setback
7
The complainers and whiners have too much influence on our team culture. It's time to celebrate the innovators and the hustlers
8
We need to focus a bit less on what we've done and more on what's next
9
We need people who can handle the chaos of growth and stay focused on the objectives ahead
​10
We need people who treat challenges like a puzzle to be solved not a chore to be reluctantly tolerated, or worse, avoided
