Unstoppable Resilience: Developing the Mindset of a Champion
Why doesn’t the fastest runner always win the race? Or why doesn’t the smartest person always get the best job? Because it’s not always the ones who “start out the smartest who end up smartest.” (Dweck) It takes more than natural speed, intelligence or ability to be a champion. It takes resilience. But resilience is not just for the elite with an Olympic gold around their neck. Resilience can be learned. Mark shows leaders how to increase their grit, passion and purpose by developing the mindset of a champion. Mark’s best practices will help you cultivate determination, increase resilience and conquer adversity.

Without the ability or capacity to change, accidents can happen. During Mark’s high-performance presentation, you will learn how to: -get change-right and change-ready -defy change paralysis through Mark’s mobilized for safety approach -significantly reduce risk of accidents and liability -identify behaviours that enhance engagement -implement strategies to increase productivity, motivation and safety Empower your employees to achieve “target zero.”
