MARK'S SIGNATURE KEYNOTE

Curiosity... Audacity... Tenacity
Getting Inside the Mindset of C.A.T. People

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 future opportunities by clinging to the false security past success. Mark’s C.A.T. mindset performance template helps people get out of the "expert trap" and develop a reputation for being an innovative high-value idea resource, a bold action taker, and a resilient defeater of obstacles and barriers.

In This Fun and Energizing Keynote, Audiences 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
