In this engaging presentation, Mark will share the incredible impact made on him by the medical professionals with who he “lived with” and cared for him as he faced the prospect of death. You will be inspired and affirmed in the value of your work.
“I have attended past retreats, and I have never seen the team so upbeat, so positive, and so engaged. Mark’s presentation style and the strategies he shared, created an environment of positivity, encouragement, and energetic collaboration. It was exactly what the team needed.”

Take your performance to new heights with this highly motivational, but imminently practical, program.

Do Tough Stuff ™: How doing hard things builds your resilience muscle
We often tell students to do “the right thing, and so they should, but Mark has discovered the path to achieving anything of meaning is also to “do the hard thing.”
We live in a world where convenience and ease are valued more than determination and grit. When students believe that better means easier, they risk missing out on some of the best parts of life.
Mark's presentation was personal, powerful, and connected for staff and students. He was fantastic!
I hope I'll have the opportunity to hear him speak again, or bring you in for an event.

Mental Health Matters™ : Stories and strategies for mental and emotional wellbeing
Teens are more anxious and stressed than ever before. 34% of high school students say they have experienced moderate or serious levels of psychological distress. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death in people aged 15-24. Mental health is a growing issue among teens. The good news is, it can get better.
I have been involved with our state FFA organization for several years, and I have to say that Mark’s keynote at our State FFA Convention was one of the best I have ever seen!
Mark’s presentation was authentic, impactful, and unforgettable. I can safely say that everyone in the audience left his presentation with something to think about and ideas for improving their lives.

Level Up for Youth: Develop the mindset and habits to realize your potential
Too often, we patronize teens with meaningless motivational messages. “You can do ANYTHING” is a phrase most teens have heard in some form or another; they immediately tune out because they know… it’s not true! In "Level Up (for youth)" Mark shows young people that while they can't "do anything", they CAN do a lot more than they think.
The saying ‘speak from your heart’ certainly suits Mark’s presentation! His honest, down to earth, conversation with our students made a huge impact! We tied his presentation to our school Career Fair and his words hit home. It is rare to see a standing ovation in a high school, but there was no question: he deserved it!
