YOU JUST FOUND THE ANSWER

Mark is a Leadership, Teamwork and Resilience Speaker on a mission. And that’s to inspire Organisations worldwide to embrace and navigate the changes they’re facing, and deliver breakthrough results in the most efficient and effective way possible.

But it’s how Mark does that that sets him apart. Because rather than preaching the usual cliches, Mark takes his audiences on an epic journey, through the twists and turns of leading a team to success in the world’s toughest yacht race.

This epic event sees 12 teams racing for 10 months and 32000 miles, the wrong way around the world. But the crews are not made up of those from the rarefied world of elite sport, rather amateurs, male and female, with 70% having never sailed before!

It’s the toughest Leadership and Team challenge in the book! And as the race unfolds, Mark shares the secrets that allowed his team to thrive, despite facing constant adversity, change and competition. The secrets that will allow your Organisation to do just the same, as the parallels for business are remarkable.

SO WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

Quite simply a ‘roller coaster’ of a journey, narrated by a master storyteller, interlaced with stunning images and the most gripping and immersive footage that you could be forgiven for thinking you’re actually on the team!

It’s an experience that never fails to move minds, inspire hearts, and call feet into action.

And the insight Mark shares is tried and tested and grounded in academic rigour, as not only is Mark a top-flight Performance Coach working with some of the World’s greatest Organisations, he’s also a partner to Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson’s ‘Fearless Organisation’.

WHY IS THE LEARNING RELEVANT TO ANY ORGANISATION?

The Environment

The Oceans are the ultimate ‘VUCA’ environment, constantly changing and presenting new challenges. And the race highly competitive. The combination is an exact mirror of the global business environment today.

Leadership

In sport, as in business, all roads lead to Leadership. And Mark shares in intricate detail what he got right, but also what he got wrong, so that your leaders can learn the secrets of success, and crucially, avoid the pitfalls.

The People

This is a story about normal, relatable people, male and female, of different ages, backgrounds and nationalities, coming together to achieve the extraordinary, rather than those from the rarefied world of elite sport.

Remarkable Parallels

The Success Factors

It was not about which team had the best people, rather who had the best Culture. One with the most galvanising Vision, the strongest Collaboration, the greatest resilience that learnt their way through the challenges quicker than anyone else.
