Mark lives the life most of us dream about.    He is one of Australia's leading work-life balance writer and speaker, runs his own company which provides conference, training and coaching services to organizations around the world, but still works only 30hrs per week, and takes 10 weeks annual holiday.   Mark has been able to achieve this by becoming the master of his own time.   He spent 18 years in the AFL as a Player, Fitness Coach and Motivator, he acted as Collingwood’s Runner for over 250 games, and at age 41 he was a member of the winning team in inaugural AFL Triathlon. He is the Author of 2 successful books, and a regular Magazine and Newspaper columnist.   Mark’s quality information and entertaining style have been rewarded with a short-listing to present at the U.S. ‘Million Dollar Round Table’. He is one of few Australians to be awarded this honour.

Discover the B*A*S*I*C strategy to self invest and achieve more through the 4 ways to Create Time. Drop the myth of quality time, become more efficient and productive while enjoying enhanced wellbeing. One of Australia’s mot successful keynotes. Extremely funny and equally engaging, our keynotes often rate as THE CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHT. High Performing Teams: When you’ve been part of a truly High Performing Team it’s an experience you’ll always remember and one you'll never want to lose. We have identified the common traits shared by many elite teams. We can all use these traits to keep our teams challenged, motivated for more than the short term and on target for greater harmony and business success. Full of engaging and revealing anecdotes from the world of premier business and sport, combined with trademark humor. Real Teams also provides a huge reality check and a roadmap for your team's future.  The Third C in Success: Mark’s ‘Third C in Success’ keynote  differs greatly from an overcoming adversity or survival against the odds theme, rather it is a practical, funny and inspirational guide to becoming more successful in your life, whatever your industry or life stage. The 45-60 minute keynote has 3 phases.  The first is to explain what makes Mark successful (Mark’s favourite part!).  The second is for each member of the audience to picture what success would be for them and the final stage is to use the 3Cs formula to make it reality. Full of Mark’s trademark humour, engaging style and anecdotes from the world of sport and business, ‘The Third C in Success’ is a great open or close for any conference or event.
