Acknowledged as an expert in resilience and overcoming adversity, high performance, and collaboration, Mark has developed a three-part masterclass series expanding on his experience as a keynote speaker working with hundreds of organisations worldwide.

Through his ‘Challenge is the Opportunity’ masterclass series, Mark has been supporting organisations in Europe, Asia, America, Australia, and the Middle East.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities – The Resilience Cycle

Sometimes we choose our challenges, sometimes our challenges choose us. What we decide to do about them is what counts.

During this virtual or in-person masterclass, Mark helps leaders and their teams to:

o Build resilience and maintain motivation

o Adapt to change and unexpected challenges

o Chart a path through uncertainty

Exploring Performance Potential – The Competitor’s Mindset

In a world where challenges are inevitable, some people are held back while others are propelled forward. Spectators sit on the side lines holding back, while competitors step into the arena as they pursue success and risk failure. The choice is ours.

During this virtual or in-person masterclass, Mark helps leaders and their teams to:

o Embrace a competitor mindset to pursue success

o Discover how clarity, commitment and connection enables optimal performance

o Treat recovery as a high-performance priority to combat overwhelm and burnout

Collaborating to Solve Complex Problems – The Trust Imperative

It seems that we need structure and hierarchy to scale existing solutions for predictable problems. But when a crisis strikes and the path forward is uncertain, we need something different. We need flatter collaborative approaches with enough of the right people having the will to work together.

During this virtual or in-person masterclass, Mark helps leaders and their teams to:

o Create the conditions for collaboration

o Enhance human connection to improve teamwork

o Galvanise teams by building trust

    “At our recent kick-off for Citrix Northern Europe, Mark shared his incredible story of how to adapt and remain resilient in the face of ongoing uncertainty and change. As well as Mark’s keynote outlining his approach to tackling challenges, he shared a mental model for how we can all turn challenges into opportunities during an interview led by his colleague and co-host, Paula Cunniffe. The impact was fantastic and opened the door for all of us to reflect on how we are tackling our own challenges both personal and at work”
