There is no doubt that Mark’s story is a challenging after dinner topic. But in tragedy there is often humour and Mark uses this conflict to engage audiences at business, sports, charity and social occasions.
Tracing his story from a student who thought he had lost everything when he went blind to an internationally renowned athlete, racing to the ends of the earth, Mark is able to provide his after dinner audiences with the rare gift of hope.
Despite his unusual desire to race in some of the world’s most extreme environments, Mark is able to present the story of a normal man who endures the same obstacles and frustrations as all of us.
It is how he deals with the challenges that are presented that make his talks so engaging. Inspiration is a word that is bandied about constantly. But by using humour in presenting his story, Mark, as a professional speaker, is able to create an impression on his audience that will last long after the final glass of wine has been finished.
Contact Mark about his After Dinner Speaking
Mark Pollock was joining an illustrious line of speakers when he agreed to speak at the annual Sparks Northern Ireland dinner. Sir Matthew Pinsent, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson and Keith Wood are just a few of our recent speakers. However, it is fair to say that Mark was truly one of the most memorable. Inspirational is a word that can be commonly used, yet in Mark's case it is completely justified.
Mark is able to use his great sense of humour to show that no matter how difficult obstacles in life can be, they are always surmountable. Every day Mark goes through challenges we find difficult to comprehend, yet with his message he challenged everyone at the dinner to redefine what they thought was possible
