'I recently engaged Mark for several one-on-one coaching sessions. I had previously seen him present at an event I attended and could see that he would add substantive value to my business and personal growth with his broad knowledge and passion for imparting his knowledge. From the very first session Mark was very focused on understanding my aspirations and goals. He also took the time to listen and consider my personality traits and experience to ensure that the coaching he offered was personalised to me. Now that I have completed the sessions, I have gained confidence which has already translated into measurable results. I intend on utilising his services again and would highly recommend him to those who have a strong desire for growth and want to improve their presentation and story-telling skills.'

From the outset, Mark showed exceptional dedication, thoroughly undertaking our briefs and delivering content that was not only meaningful but also deeply engaging. His passion and care were evident in every aspect of his performance, and his enthusiastic delivery style captivated our audience. Mark’s ability to connect with the crowd and convey the event’s key messages with such energy and professionalism was truly impressive.

'Mark was an outstanding MC for our 3 day conference and Gala Dinner. Working with Mark in the lead up to the conference was easy. He is a meticulous planner, was well prepared and adapted to challenges on the day. Mark was interested to understand our business, sector and the delegates, this ensured we set the right tone of the event. His energy, enthusiasm, professionalism and sensitivity enabled him to engage and connect with our delegates. Mark kept us on track and ensured that all aspects ran smoothly according to our agenda and the transition from one keynote speaker to the next flowed seamlessly. Mark captivated the delegates attention and engaged with them throughout the event.'

'Mark created a bespoke learning package for Method Recruitment and spent the time meeting with us on multiple occasions to understand our needs, then customize his training specifically for our team. He went above and beyond in the lead up in terms of communication, then during the session it was clear he had done his research and incorporated our brand elements and key business values. The result really resonated with the group, and his interactive style ensured everyone left feeling like they had a chance to participate. There were super impactful take-aways he's already helping us implement! Looking forward to Part 2 in a few months to really solidify the learning across individual teams. Love Mark's strategic lens on long term change making at a business level!'

Mark presented to our Enterprise Sales team at our annual sales kick off and he absolutely knocked it out of the park! One thing he did really well was to get to know our business beforehand through phone calls and meetings to better understand what would be suitable for us on the day. He tailored a fantastic presentation based on different kinds of value however the way he presented it with his unique style and content that he provides just captured everyone’s attention. He was engaging, spoke with passion and fully enhanced our day offering some fantastic insights into how we could elevate our conversation with our customers and partners to help differentiate ourselves from the competition. He has subsequently followed up with us throughout 2023 and we will continue to work with Mark to access his extremely valuable academy content. I would highly recommend working with Mark as he brings such a wealth of sales experience with positive energy and delivers extremely valuable sales strategy content in such a differentiated way which really benefits any sales organisation helping them to improve their overall sales performance with real value at the core.

Would highly recommend Mark and his team to anyone that’s thinking of having him either speak at their business function or help them with their business. A fantastic man. Thanks again Mark. I look forward to catching up with you again.

Mark was nothing short of incredible. The energy, enthusiasm and engagement he brought to every single session (even those at midnight at 2am!) was tangible and infectious to the audience. Mark's vivacity, even virtually, was fundamental to increasing our employee's focus and engagement in every single session. Mark bounced off every presenter and guest speaker with ease and effortlessness as if they were life long friends and knew their topics off by hand. He was able to provide incredibly effective and engaging summaries after ever session, and managed the Q&A's, chats and technical glitches seamlessly. The event we ran simply could not have been what it was without Mark. We can't recommend his hosting, moderating and MCing abilities more. He really knew how to lift every single session and help make it more palatable and engaging for our audience’s members no matter the subject matter, guest speaker or audience! Mark was incredibly easy to engage with prior to, during and after the event. He took every piece of feedback and direction I gave him and incorporated it into his presentation immediately and exactly as I imagined. He was incredibly easy to brief, always enthusiastic about the event and constantly provided great ideas to help lift his presentation and our event. He dialed into every session 15 minutes early to meet the presenters and guest beforehand to introduce himself and start engaging and lifting the excitement with the presenters. He was a joy to communicate with before the event and provided daily updates throughout the event that were incredibly helpful for us going forward. He was never not available to contact should I have needed him - no matter what time of day! Many of our audience members and presenters wrote to us to tell us how much they enjoyed Mark, his energy and presentation. Thank you again to Mark, we honestly couldn't have done it without him.

As we speak he is delivering this program to our sales community and our teams are responding with enthusiasm and engagement that will drive the intent we are looking for. Mark's training delivery methods appeal to all senses and we are naturally compelled to listen, learn and act. This is one sales tranformational piece that we are confident will endure.

I've worked with Mark for number of years in a variety of different capacities. Running a corporate events company, in my experience regardless of all the preparation, when it comes to delivery on the day it's important that everybody fulfils their role. The quality of MC is vital and plays a pivotal role. Their demeanour and ability to captivate an audience, be present, in the moment and fluid all at once can often be the difference between a failure or a success. We consistently use Mark as our MC for events for his flow, energy, meticulous planning, thorough collaborative preparation and adaptability. His delivery is flawless, steering the conversation with thoughtful insight, probing questions and pragmatism ensuring a well rounded approach and memorable experience. If you're looking for an MC for your next event, Mark is the consummate professional and I would highly recommend engaging his services.

I have found Mark to be an exceptional professional development trainer who has helped me develop my sales skills over the years. One quality that distinguishes Mark from other coaches is his expertise in adapting his programmes to particular themes and requirements. His training sessions are specifically designed to address the day-to-day challenges we encounter in our partnerships programme and sales processes, enabling us to put what we learn to use right away. I would strongly advise anyone wishing to grow as a sales person or looking to developing a highly efficient sales team to contact Mark. He has assisted me and my team in improving our effectiveness and gaining more success in our roles using his knowledge and personalised training approach.

I went on a mindset retreat and Mark was a coach there. He speaks with such enthusiasm and is so engaging. He really takes time to absorb and listen to what people have to say and really gives everybody the time of day. His life experiences that he shares are so amazing and interesting and he shares such valuable material. I am reading his books (I have them both) and they are worth their weight in gold.
Thanx so much mark for sharing so much value to everyone around you that hears you speak or reads you books. You do such a good job and make everything look so easy!! Looking forward to the next time!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Mark Carter as the Keynote speaker to kick off our National Franchisee convention last week, October 2022. I find it difficult when writing this to give justice to Mark’s presentation. It’s fair to say, you have never seen anything like it. His style is unique – so well prepared and delivered, timed to a constant video running in the background – no slides, no stop start, amazing. Mark met with us on a number of occasions to get a real understanding of the challenges we were wanting to address, and worked closely with our leadership team to leverage his insight to deliver a presentation that absolutely hit the mark. The feedback from our franchisees was so positive and it set the theme and tone for an event many say is the best we have ever run. Thanks Mark for all you help on this.

Mark lead a very personal and memorable session that ignited great ideas about how we can add more value to our customer's experience. Your Add Value nursery rhyme is fast becoming a catch cry for the team. 'Dollars, percentage, numbers and time - Is the tangible value nursery rhyme, But the metrics that matter are yours, not mine!'

As someone who is relatively new to management I found Mark's training invaluable when it comes to understanding the difference between managing versus coaching. Gaining tools to support my team around goal setting and effective performance management/feedback ensures I am present for myself (and my goals) as well as my team. What I enjoyed most about the style of training is the emphasis on how to put into action what is covered in the seminars. Mark is extremely engaging and ensures everyone in the room has an opportunity to contribute.

We gave a short brief as to what we were seeking and within moments, Mark had constructed a powerful and insightful session focusing on the value of mind, body and spirit, challenging us to step outside of our fixed mindsets. Mark tied the session back to our Company values and delivered a high energy, engaging and knowledgeable session that will certainly leave a lasting impact on our team members. Looking forward to diving into the Mark Carter Academy that Mark has kindly opened to our team as an added bonus. Until the next time Mark.

My way of managing the sales process for Propel Ventures can be classified as BM and AM. Before Mark and After Mark. Admittedly I am a coming off a low base in terms of sales training, but his frameworks and hands-on workshop-style approach worked very well for me. I enjoyed it, I learned a lot and I put what Mark taught me into practice within hours of the session. My only regret was not engaging him earlier in my career.

I first discovered Mark Carter’s work through his first book ‘Ignite your potential’ and soon became my ‘go to’ book for both my personal and professional life. I even started to refer to it as my bible. I would use it to direct me back on track and inspire me when I needed a push both personally and professionally. I then sat several of his work shops and booked him for a day workshop for the hotel I was working with and he completely turned around our workplace culture, a huge success. It was then I purchased his second book ‘Add Value’ and it changed my perspective and mindset about what I wanted and what I’ll hold value to both personally and professionally. I recently joined Marks Academy during my downtime of Covid19 to prepare for the next role in my career. I am currently focusing on Coaching, Presentation skills, sales skills, and leadership. I am doing these workshops one on one and Mark keeps it exciting, informative, and inspiring and makes it relevant to my field of hospitality. I recommend Joining Mark’s academy and signing up for one on one or group workshops as its personable and mark will allow it to work in with your circumstance and work at your own pace during these times of Covid19. If you have any further questions about my experience with the Academy, please feel free to Direct message me.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark on developing a customised sales methodology for the MYOB Enterprise Reseller channel. Mark was extremely diligent in performing current state analysis of sales methods and techniques and blended that exceptionally well with the Challenger Methodology. Where he really shone was the energetic and highly effective way that he delivered 2 consecutive days of sales training over zoom. The best testimonial to this was from one of the attendees who admitted he'd been dreading the online training but the training that Mark delivered was incredibly engaging and the time flew by which completely changed his perspective on what was possible. Overall I am very fortunate to have been able to have Mark on this project and came to know him as a true professional and master of his subject area and craft.

Great graphics, sensational presentation style, easy to listen to, great content, funny, interesting, gave us some giveaways – all personalized, which everyone loved, and is going to open up more online content to us. He also has an app – which is very smart. Mark is suitable for any team building / sales training / behaviour / cultural awareness session. Very talented speaker.

Mark was the final speaker at our 3-day conference in Perth. The energy he provided was electric and he captured everyone in the room. His content and messaging will enable everyone to take something away to implement in their business. Thank you from the team @ MoneyQuest

Mark really has a knack for keeping an audidence engaged. He is a fantastic story teller, with so many great experiences that he brings to life during his talks. I have seem him speak at least 5 times now, a couple of those after some long nights and longer days, and he still delivered his presentations with full energy. I asked him about this after one where he would have had every right to do a particular presentation sitting down in an arm chair (it really had been a big weekend!), and he said something along the lines of "You can be tired after and before a talk, but as soon as you get on that stage, you give it 100%. People deserve to see it at its best and that's what they are going to get". That sort of mentality is only one of the reasons why Mark is a brilliant resource for motivation and culture development.

Mark is true inspiration to any individual that is fortunate to hear him speak or gets to read his book. He is one that gives true care and understanding for the individuals that runs their business, gives expert advice to help those attain an affluent work environment and life, and makes it fun and entertaining to be apart of. The mysteries are unveiled and only wish all could see Mark live.

Mark Carter is a master storyteller and understands the value of a story to create connections and inspire people. The Equip 2019 participants were captivated by Mark’s insightful approach to change, adaptability and neuroscience. His energy is infectious and his closing remarks simple and powerful…’No matter what happens in your world – you don’t get to control it – the only thing you can control is your response. Calmness is power’.

Mark helped us conduct quite a few training sessions in Q3/Q4 2019 including Sales training as well as Interview Skills training. Mark’s execution of the content is always on point. Mark is a very effective communicator and always manages to maintain a high level of engagement across the floor. He’s an effective listener and is always asking questions and sharing ideas during the initial course discussions/briefings so that he has a clear understanding of the business’s needs and its challenges. Thank you for your efforts Mark - Look forward to more successful trainings in the future! All the best!

Mark was referred to me by several staff who had worked with him before at other companies. My overall frustration was staff training in general, how all the training on the open market was boring, was not personalised for our business or my staff’s personal circumstances for growth. Mark took the time to talk to my staff before providing a customised proposal that would solve our problems. Mark has now introduced both Rocket & Orbit to our company and we are starting to see awesome results. Mark is fun, energetic and empathetic, showing a real passion for our business and staff, encouraging them to grow, take ownership and implement various techniques that are really specific to them as individuals and their roles. After the first day alone, one comment made to me was “if this was all the training we received for the rest of the year, this is better than all the training we had last year combined”. We are continuing to roll out Rocket and Orbit plus implementing further ideas. We will continue to work with Mark in the future and can not recommend him more for your business and team. Thanks Mark!

fully recommend Mark as a professional mentor, speaker and trainer. His genuine, kind and straight to the point persona elevates Mark as one of the true, great trainers that I have met to this day. His belief in his training and what he has to offer, makes him a must have in your business. I first heard of Mark at a corporate conference and have since implemented him in my office, as well as building a great friendship with him - to the point of having him to stay at my house on numerous occasions. He is a great business mind, a great friend and a must have for your business! Mark truly gets the best out of people.

At Make it Cheaper we have used Mark's services for two consecutive years , firstly to support us with a new product launch, and then to celebrate it's first year anniversary - as a result of his great work I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services. In Oct 2017, the keynote Mark delivered at our product launch, combined with his incredibly powerful "arrow activity" totally captivated our (primarily) millennial audience and ensured everyone was talking about the event for weeks to come. It was exactly the "big splash" event we were hoping for! As a result, we decided to engage his services again in October 2018, to help us celebrate the product anniversary; however I will confess to some level of trepidation in terms of how he would be able to top last year's session. Needless to say, he delivered in spades! On a very warm Sydney spring day (in a room with minimal AC!) he effortlessly kept up the energy levels of over 100 people with 4 fantastic practical exercises in under an hour. He completely nailed the brief we provided; guaranteed everyone got involved and had fun; and most importantly, ensured all participants left the room feeling they'd learned something meaningful and powerful about themselves. From the outset, Mark demonstrated an ability to develop deep understanding of our culture in a very short time frame, and thereby ensured our Values were effortlessly and seamlessly interwoven into all elements of both presentations. I sincerely hope to work with Mark again in the future, and I recommend his services without hesitation.

Mark is a highly accomplished and enthusiastic presenter who delivers his message with innovation and high energy. Choosing a speaker to end any conference is, by its nature, reasonably risky. Mark & I spent an hour and half together, with me setting the scene for the conference. By the end of this planning session I was already highly enthused, totally motivated and 100% confident that Mark would deliver and support the theme of the conference. Mark has good business acumen, understand concepts & audiences quickly and showed a genuine interest in understanding my objectives. The feedback from my team on his session at our AGM was the most positive ever and he also provided additional value beyond the initial presentation. I would highly recommend anyone to chat with Mark and see how he could assist you company.

When i first met Mark, by chance he had a spare copy of his book on him which he gave me too. The book was enlightening and made me question my actions with the world around me. One of my most significant realizations when reading the book was the lack of appreciation i showed to my mother, something i wish i realized earlier. The books original and powerful stories are thought provoking, resonating well with anyone looking to achieve a greater level of success. The One-on-one coaching sessions Mark and i engage in have been my biggest asset. Discussing topics from productivity to public speaking, as evidence of my success with Mark I received 100% on my presentation at University. These coaching sessions provide me with invaluable knowledge and skills, helping me to achieve my future goals. Mark is the real deal, his originality and charismatic personality have fueled not only his success but mine too. I look forward to continuing my journey with Mark and i hope you guys do to.

What a pleasure it is to work with Mark. I first met Mark through a business club and utilised Marks services for my own self development. After several months of consistent growth in my organisation due to what Mark had instilled into myself it come to me that if I get Mark to train my team it should pay off even further. Well it did, and in a big way. Our team learnt that we are different to one another, we started to understand our individual strengths and weaknesses and how to put things in place to really work as a team. Our sales conversions went form 30 percent conversions rates to 70 percent conversion rates. Our culture was always great but now it is unbelievably excellent and our team love coming to work every day. And to back up Marks Bespoke approach to the Damoli Group we have access it his online academy which is a world of knowledge that Mark has worked endlessly on to further assist his clients. We direct our team there once a week for one hour training sessions and we are noticing improvements each day. I encourage anyone looking for a mentor, business coach, training consultant to speak to Mark, you will see results. Well done Mark and thank you for everything you have done and will do for our team.

I have personally been involved in two sessions with Mark and would highly recommend Mark as a motivator, coach and mentor.

I had the great pleasure of getting stuck at the airport with Mark before he spoke at our national conference. Of the dozens (if not hundreds) of people I've met in Mark's sphere of chosen profession (from personal/professional development to... shudder... motivational speakers & life coaches) he's by far the most engaging and knowledgeable. Both on a personal and professional level, Mark is an inspiration.

I had the pleasure on being coached by the wonderful MC during our time together at Groupon. I was always in awe of Mark’s ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas—even people who were initially on completely different pages. Mark is tenacious, hard working, and an amazing coach and I have been very privileged to learn many skills that I’ve been able to adapt into my professional life. Mark is a wonderful friend to me and made work so enjoyable. His book is an example of the dedicated individual he is and I highly recommend reading it. He would be an asset to any future employer and I’d be the first to recommend him to yours!

It wasn't just the knowledge, experience and training he provided for me and the sales team, but what made it a joy and ensured I always took something out of his sessions was the content always being on point as well as his delivery and execution - always full of energy, engaging and having the room involved and participating.

He was received with the big thumbs up and our network are professionals so takes a lot to impress them. Since Mark has facilitated coaching sessions with our Business Partnership Team who work very closely with our network to help them become better business coaches and the results have been fantastic. Mark has also been a great mentor for me and has an energy and passion which is genuine and rare to find in this day and age.

When I think of Mark "MC" Carter, the first word that springs to mind is "Authenticity." What you see is what you get with MC without any filters. I believe this trait to be extremely important and sets MC apart. He is one of the best sales training facilitators that I have come across. Through his own unique style of delivering content, he brings about a high level of engagement amongst participants. He challenges individuals to stretch themselves but is genuinely interested in seeing them continually improve. MC delivers his content with passion and energy combining best practices in sales with behavioural insight to tremendously add value. What distinguishes MC apart from anyone else is the fact that he is approachable, personable and is deeply interested in getting the best out of you. These characteristics coupled with the mastery he has in the delivery of his content make MC an asset to any organisation he is a part of. He comes to each session prepared and tailors content specifically to his audience. I highly recommend MC as a sales trainer, presenter, personal development specialist or executive coach to businesses and individuals alike. The energy and positivity he brings will be contagious. Professionally, I have enjoyed my interactions with MC and believe his high performance sales training framework has positively impacted my role. On a personal note, I have found MC to have many interesting and worldly insights, act with integrity but also consider him a friend. Keep being inspirational MC - 'onwards & upwards!'

I have known Mark for quite a few years now after working with him at Contiki in Europe. On a number of occasions we recognized Marks ability to relate to all levels of people by employing his many talents to train our new Tour Managers how to run tours throughout Europe on 8 week intense Training Trips. Marks engaging personality and approachability were an asset in ensuring trainees were able to make the most of his knowledge and expertise. He trained them in all aspects of the position: organization, administration, history etc but most importantly he trained them to deal with real people and their very real expectations. Mark has the habit of approaching all things in life with great gusto. His natural energy and enthusiasm makes people want to sit up, take notice and be a part of whatever insight Mark is delivering.

I had the pleasure of Mark as an executive mentor whilst moving from an Operational background and into our Sales environment. Mark’s depth of knowledge surrounding value added sales processes, leadership and behavioural tools played a critical role during my transition. Mark has an engaging, high energy personality and speaks with a contagious enthusiasm for the subject matter he teaches. During our conversations, Mark was able to easily distil the underlying themes and barriers to my own, and my team’s success, simply from listening to my choice of language. Mark helped me clearly articulate those themes and provided simple, but incredibly effective, tools that allowed me to develop a high performance culture within our sales team. My own professional development has come leaps and bounds simply from being exposed to Mark, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a sales and leadership orientated business coach.

Inspirational is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Mark Carter. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Mark in a business capacity for over a decade during which I have seen him coach and mentor executives at all levels both one on one and group forums, present, lead and inspire sales executives at small to large conferences present to a large audience. A nationally recognized career expert, Mark speaks regularly to corporations. Above all, I was impressed with Mark’s ability to adapt himself to cater to different personalities. His coaching has had a direct positive impact on sales and revenue as well as personal and professional development. And, of course, his genuine regard and passion for what he does distinguishes him from others. Mark would be a true asset for any organization.

Mark "MC" Carter, simply put is exceptional in his field of learning & development. He is by far among the best public speakers and trainers that I have encountered in my entire career. I've had the the privilege of working with him to develop, train and coach my team in a variety ways ranging from technology releases, skills assessment, up-skill, induction training and overall development. I've also attended his Leadership Development & Change Management coaching tailored towards senior management & executives. Attending one of Mark's sessions will take you through a coaching journey you will not forget nor regret. He has an amazing ability (if not a gift) to motivate and boost a participant's self-confidence & self-belief to a whole new level. And he will do this while driving the direction, values and desired behaviors of an organization. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Inviting a man to MC the event was a landmark step for us because we are an agency lead by women for women in the community. We selected Mark because of his keen understanding, compassion and knowledge about the population we serve. Mark worked closely with us to ensure the message we wanted to convey and the goals we wanted to achieve for the event were met. He spoke to our values and played a key role in creating an exceptional event experience. Mark delivered an energy to the event that helped us exceed our fundraising target. He prepared a dynamic video presentation to kick off the that was both captivating and well put together. He engaged participants in our live auction and as a results we raised several thousand dollars for our charity. I would highly recommend Mark Carter because he has the integrity, values and work ethic that really makes a difference!

I have had the privelage of working alongside Mark at both SENSIS and at CareerOne and Mark continues to hit the mark with effective sales training which sales consultants and Managers can take away with them and improve their results immediately. He is the only sales trainer I have used who engages his audience with energy, passion and a humbleness that draws the consultants in. The consultants, the Sales Managers and State Sales Managers buy in to him immediately and walk away from the training with actions that work. The feedback is always exceptionally positive from any team he has worked with, he can command a group of 100+ like he did with my Call Centre at SENSIS or a smaller group of 10 as he is doing now at CareerOne. A one day session based on value changed my team overnight from selling on price to selling on value and the proof is in the results, which are 30% higher than last month.

I have engaged Mark Carter's (Glow International) services on many occasions over the last eight years. Whether it is a short powerful motivational presentation to kick off a sales campaign, a change management session or a long term leadership course Mark’s ability to understand our business model, specific needs and translate this into a compelling story that creates sustainable change is outstanding. When Mark is delivering a session our audience is always highly engaged and the feedback is second to none. Without doubt Mark is my first choice when looking to utilise external facilitators as he really understand our busines needs and always delivers a first class session. Mark’s ability to utilise his extensive experience and relate that back to our customers and teams is fantastic. He is always flexible with our requirements, can quickly adapt as new needs arise and is very innovative in his thinking. Mark takes the time to provide value added extras that make the sessions extremely memorable.

I was intrigued the first time I heard Mark Carter was going to present to our sales force as I have previously heard positive feedback regarding his style and was keen to see what all the hype was about. Mark met and surpassed my expectations. He was charismatic, vibrant and despite this very impersonal and relatable. He charmed the audience and myself from the moment he began to present. What Mark does to captivate the audience’s attention is he makes them think, rather than giving us the answers he asks the questions and takes the audience on a journey with him. I would highly recommend Mark for anyone seeking a motivational speaker.

I have worked with Mark at Sensis since 2005. During this time we have used him from facilitating our start up conferences with 300+ people to running a motivational session for some of our senior leaders in the business, Mark is vibrant, knowledgeable and extremely creative. His ability to engage his audience whilst delivering key messages and takeouts are his strength. Mark is also versatile in his communication and knows how to connect with his audience. Mark is also well respected across our business and has always been a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation in endorsing Mark.

Mark stepped in at the last minute to MC my wedding. From start to finish he was enthusiatic and professional and really made the day for my wife and I. I'd recommend Mark to anyone requiring a public speaker. He speaks with authority and eloquence and no detail is too small. Thanks Mark!

I've had the pleasure of being coached by Mark Carter at Sensis Pty Ltd. Being in sales you are usually fed "more of the same" sales techniques spin. Mark however has always displayed a unique way of delivering presentations, combined with group activities and getting everyone involved has been truly inspiring. Mark's 100% integrity in his delivery style and always staying true to what he believes in, is infectious. Looking forward to the next session, which i have no doubt will have a lot of surprises!

I've worked with Mark as his co-host for a charity event. Mark was electric and thoroughly entertained the audience. I would highly recommend hiring Mark to MC any award/charity/black tie event or to present to large corporations who want to motivate their employees.

I had the pleasure of hiring Mark as my MC at my wedding this year. To this day my guests are still talking about my fantastic MC. With 300 guest Mark definitely had his work cut out for him but from the beginning I new Mark was going to be amazing. He went out of his way months in advance to explore both cultures and bring them together. He made it so personable and went above and beyond an MC role, he was an entertainer. He gathered images creating his own presentation for my husband and I, he sat with my family prior to get their take on things, and in true Mark style he created magic for us on the night. how he controlled, took charge and entertained all night was beyond me. I would recemmend Mark for any occassion as I know I will be hiring him again soon. Thank you again Mark for all you did to make our day so special.

I would like to thank Mark for helping me prepare a presentation for a recent seminar I held for a women's workshop. Mark understood all my comments / feedback, was very professional and imaginative with the presentation. A huge THANK YOU.
