Mark is a captivating and multi-award-winning speaker on a mission to inspire organizations to ‘Master the Waves of Change, ’ a capability so crucial for achieving sustained success in this constantly turbulent world.
But it’s how Mark does this that sets him apart from the crowd. Because rather than preaching the usual cliches, he takes his audiences on an ‘edge of your seat’ journey, through the ups, downs, twists and turns of leading a team to success in the ‘world’s toughest’ around-the-world yacht race.
This epic event sees 12 teams racing for 10 months and 32,000 miles, the wrong way around the world, against the spin of the Earth. But the crews are not made up of those from the rarefied world of elite sport, rather amateurs, male and female, aged 18-60, with 70% having never sailed before!
And as the race unfolds the secrets are revealed that allowed him and his team to thrive, despite facing constant adversity, change and competition. The secrets that will allow your organization to do the same, as the parallels with the world of business are remarkable.
When combined with masterful storytelling, stunning images, gripping footage and the option of fun and insightful audience participation (that guarantees a standing ovation!), it’s so immersive you could be forgiven for thinking you’re actually on the Team!
His audiences from many of the world’s greatest organizations agree, captivating them in over 31 countries to date, with consistent 5-star reviews. He’s also won several prestigious awards, including being voted the ‘Bookers Choice’ at the Speaker Awards 2024.
