Rewrite Your Future.

An optimistic, research-backed keynote on resilience and influence that gives your audience a new kind of agency – and a method they'll use before they've left the room. Mark teaches this because he needed it himself. In 2019, running a business he'd built, he came apart in a hardware store aisle – and found the limiting belief sitting underneath it: I'm not a real CEO. What he built afterwards became The Story Code™, a book and self-talk system now used by leaders in boardrooms, offsites and transformation programs. Audiences leave with a powerful tool from this program, and the evidence from their own lives to begin writing a new story.

What audiences walk away with

Three shifts that
survive the trip home.

1 · Your inner coach

Everyone knows the inner critic. But few know it has an opposite that can be trained. You’ll learn how to hear the inner critic’s line, and how to flip the script with an inner coach – a radical shift in self-talk.

2 · Proof of your success

Use the Mirror Moment – Mark’s three-step tool for rewriting negative self-talk: Catch, Flip, Hold. Forget bumper-sticker affirmations – this is a moment where you’ll tap into real success from your own experience.

3 · The golden thread

Identify the unifying story that runs from the inside out – from personal beliefs through leadership behaviour to team culture, customer experience and business results. Flip a siege mentality into a growth mindset.
