Mark Pollock – Explorer, Innovator & Collaboration Catalyst
It is tough to deliver world class performance. Your people won’t do it by chance. With a high-impact catalyst you can help them act with the courage to make it happen. Mark Pollock is that catalyst.
Red Bull UK’s Managing Director describes Mark as “awe-inspiring”. Google’s Head of SMB Sales says that he “…started a conversation about challenging conventional wisdom that is ongoing at Google”.
Acknowledged as an expert in resilience, innovation and collaboration, Mark says “The reason to bring in a 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.”
With this in mind, Mark has used his hard-earned expertise to help people in hundreds of organisations worldwide including at TED2018, Davos, the Web Summit, the World Economic Forum, EG and Wired.
Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, described Mark as one of “the most inspiring people I met” after they discussed the ways in which technology is changing how people learn. Following Mark’s contribution to the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the Head of Public Engagement and Foundations said “Mark doesn’t just talk about the transformative intersection of technology and humankind. He lives it. His exploration of a cure for paralysis helped people understand the human dimension of the fourth industrial revolution.
As he explores the intersection where humans and technology collide, Mark is catalysing collaborations that have never been done before. And, through the Mark Pollock Trust, he is unlocking $1 billion to cure paralysis in our lifetime.
Topics covered include:
* Adversity & Challenges – Maintaining a resilient mindset under pressure.
* Leadership & Motivation – Leading through a crisis and developing intrinsic motivation.
* Collaboration & Teamwork – Creating and motivating dispersed teams across disciplines and geographies.
* Human Enhancement – Innovating at the intersection where humans and technology collide

Mark presented at our Global Sales Partners Conference in Twitter and was exceptional. His ability to link his personal story to people’s everyday life and work challenges was excellent. The session was not just about listening to an incredible story, it was a chance for everyone to really think about themselves. There is something in this talk for everyone.
Senior Director EMEAMark presented at our North American Leadership Conference in Chicago. It was attended by 200 of HSBC’s senior managers across Canada and the USA. Given the complexity of today’s financial services industry, Mark’s insight into the motivational challenges facing our management teams was accurate and his suggestions and ideas were equally relevant.
