I need someone in the room

Most speakers need three months. Mark can usually be in the room in days.

For conferences, offsites, leadership teams, boards and team days. Someone who has held the seat, carried the decisions and lived the consequences, talking to a room about what is actually in front of it.

A boardroom of 8 and a main stage of 800 come through the same door. That is deliberate.

The session does not change with the size of the room. The scope does.

Three ways to book

There is no rate card, because no two rooms are the same. Bring the date and what the room is carrying, and you will leave the call with a fee and an answer.

The Weekly Unpack

One hour, every week•Four-week minimum•From $1,999

The same hour, the same day, every week. Most people who book a room end up wanting this instead, because the session was never really about the keynote. You bring whatever is live that week and we work it there and then.

Booked in blocks of four weeks minimum, and renewed only while it is still doing its job. No documents, no homework, nothing to prepare. Just the hour, held for you.

This is what most people are actually buying. It is also the fastest thing here to stop, which is deliberate.

You end each week with one thing decided and the next thing named.

The Room

Half day or full day•Built for that room•Often at short notice

Mark speaks to leadership teams, at meetings, over lunches and across full workshop days, on whatever is actually live for that team at that moment. Not a fixed keynote wheeled out unchanged, the session is built around the room it is going into.

The same principle applies. A team is not a slide deck, and the conversation usually has to reach what people are actually carrying before it can reach what they are supposed to deliver.

Most speakers need three months. Mark can usually turn a session around in days.

You end the day with a team that has said the thing it had been avoiding, and a decision about what happens on Monday.

The Strategy Day

One day•One room•One decision taken

Where the room does not need a speaker, it needs the call made. For founders, boards and leadership teams who do not need further analysis: the decision taken, the reasoning set out plainly, the trade-offs named, and the next stage defined clearly enough to execute the following morning.

Frequently the more useful booking. A keynote moves a room for a week. A decision moves it for a year.

You end the day with the decision, the trade-offs accepted, and what has deliberately been ruled out.

Topics regularly asked for

Change management, and how to carry people through it
Headcount reduction, and how to handle it properly
Stress, pressure and burnout on leadership teams
Scaling, and what breaks first
Org design and workforce planning
Communication and leadership method
Resolving internal conflict

Or something the team is carrying that is not on this list. Those are usually the better sessions.

Bring the date first. Availability at short notice is real, but it is finite, and the diary fills from the confirmed end.
