  • Mark provided an awe inspiring session for our early stage companies, drawing parallels with the challenges they face and his own experiences. In a powerful yet unassuming way, he drew us all in to his story in a really down to earth way, while conveying the high drama of a career lived out in the waves. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark’s session Beyond Fear to any group.

  • Mark Mathews and his “Life Beyond Fear” keynote was, by far, the most captivating, enthralling, and engaging motivational speech I have attended in my 25-year career. Never have I sat so still and listened so intently to a speaker at a Las Vegas sales meeting – I literally dropped my coffee and could not take my eyes off the stage as he told his incredible story, and connected his reality with our daily life.

  • "Like no other. No one comes close. I have been speaking across the globe for over a decade and never have I been so moved or inspired by a speaker as I was with Mark Mathews. His ability to move an audience with his stories of resilience, courage and humour were unprecedented. The standing ovations that he received across the country as part of the Future of Leadership series in 2018 were a testament to his speaking ability and his humility. Mark not only delivered on stage, like no other, but he is equally congruent off stage as well." Peter Bains - Future Of Leadership
