“Mark is simply the best speaker that I have ever heard, and in my business I’ve heard many. He blitzed older, more experienced speakers off the stage and is able to capture an audience with ease”
Mark was certainly a star. He is one of the best presenters I have seen in a long time. We have had nothing but favourable comments.
Thought he was spot on! Great speaker: entertaining and to the point. The best speaker on the day.
