helping people achieve more than they thought possible.
Everything Mark does as a motivational speaker is about inspiring people to build resilience and collaborate with others so that they achieve more than they thought possible. To do it, he has gathered a small full-time team of solution seekers, a panel of thought partners and a network of hundreds who are prepared to disregard the impossible with him.
Speaking
Unbroken by blindness in 1998 and a paralysing fall in 2010, Mark is acknowledged by leaders in organisations worldwide as an expert in resilience, innovation and collaboration. He says, “The reason to bring in a motivational speaker is to move the audience emotionally. It can never be about the speaker, rather it must be about engaging the audience to help them achieve more than they thought possible – that is what I aim to do every time.”
Mission
Up to this point in history, it has proven to be impossible to find a cure for paralysis. Yet history is filled with accounts of the impossible made possible through human endeavour.
That’s why Mark started asking, “Why can’t that same human endeavour cure paralysis in our lifetime?”
And he believes it can.
Insights
Over the last 20 years, Mark has studied how to build resilience and collaborate with others.
Some of what he has discovered is showcased here in a selection of talks, mini-documentaries, podcasts, media appearances and articles, each providing insights from a different perspective to help you achieve more than you thought possible.

Mark provided a powerful perspective to the assembled media at Davos. Mark doesn’t just talk about the transformative intersection of technology and humankind – he lives it. As he explores a cure for paralysis, he helped people understand the human dimension of the fourth industrial revolution at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting.
It was a privilege to have Mark address both our customers and our Management Team at Google. He delivers that rare combination of inspiration, perspective and practical insight that forces his audience to really reflect on how they rise to their personal challenges and set goals that seem unachievable. He delivers his message in a deeply personal, humorous and memorable way that lands with his audience. It was a pleasure for all of us to spend time in his company. Inspiring.
