WHAT MARK DOES
Mark works with organizations that want to generate and implement great ideas faster HOW HE DOES THAT Mark helps key players and top performers accelerate the process of innovation to implementation and avoid the common trap of clinging to the false security of past success. He shares a three-part strategy (the C.A.T. Advantage) that ignites creativity, inspires bold action and instills the resilience to anticipate and defeat any obstacles. Mark's job is to provide a powerful touchpoint moment in an organizations story. A moment of clarity and culture shift when fear took a backseat to a collective hunger to accelerate forward. |

Top Ten Reasons People Hire Mark (which one sounds like you?)
- We need to get out of the habitual routine of just "doing things the way they've always been done"
- We need to stop being so intimidated by big ideas
- Our creative thinking needs a kick in the pants
- We need to get the whole team on board with new changes
- Constantly motivating lethargic team members is unproductive. We need people who know how to be self-motivated
- We need everyone to step up their game to pull off this difficult challenge and not just quit at the first setback
- The complainers and whiners have too much influence on our team culture. It's time to celebrate the innovators
- We need to focus a bit less on what we've done and more on what's next
- We need people who can handle the chaos of growth and stay focused on the objectives ahead
- We need people who treat challenges like a puzzle to be solved not a chore to be reluctantly tolerated, or worse, avoided
Three Key Takeaways
1 How to develop the CURIOSITY to habitually be on the lookout for bold new challenges to build on and surpass your old successes and keep the competition playing a frustrating game of catch-up 2 How to ignite action and fast-track your progress with the AUDACITY to assume that success is inevitable while crushing your fears instead of floundering in self-doubt and being your own worst obstacle 3 How to engage the TENACITY to persist through all the "quitting zones" of inevitable setbacks, failures and frustrations where the less driven are giving up the prize to the strategically persistent winners (you!) |

Mark Has inspired audiences in 38 states over the last 20 years
He has led everything from intimate workshops with small groups of key people to major keynotes to a large audiences. His largest was over five thousand. His style is a mixture of:
Entertaining (so they'll be engaged)
Mark is a master storyteller. He believes in putting his own advise into action and shares with his audience all the ups and downs of going after his own adventures. 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. |
