Elite Leadership (Keynote Presentation)

Mark believes that leadership can be taught, and the aim of this keynote is to outline the fundamentals of elite leadership.

Mark draws on his experience at the top levels of business and Special Operations to show you that the basics done well, are the foundations of mission success.

Any endeavour requires applying the basics of mission focus, a supportive team, and self-care. Self-care fundamentals such as rest, nutrition, exercise and growth are the basics needed for elite performance.

Mark draws from neurobiology and uses personal examples to illustrate a proven approach to prevention, recovery and growth.

Outlines the importance of simplicity, focus and agility in planning to achieve mission success.
