Keynotes, conference talks and moderated sessions
The AI speaker who keeps it human.

Programme
What Mark speaks on.
What your audience expects now
Audiences and customers have quietly changed how they find you, judge you and decide to trust you. This talk unpacks what attention and trust look like in the AI age, and what it asks of the way your organisation shows up.
Leading in the AI age
What good leadership looks like when everyone on the team has AI: where to set direction, where human judgement stays non-negotiable, and how to bring people with you without the hype.
From tools to teammates
What separates teams that gain hours from teams that collect tools, including what AI agents really can and cannot do, with live examples from Mark’s own business.

Story-led, twenty years of broadcast storytelling
A journalist’s structure and pacing: the session holds, and the point lands.
03
Actionable, people leave with things to try
Audiences go back to their desks with practical next steps, not just notes.
04
Real-world, he still trains teams every week
The examples come from live training rooms and current client work, not old decks.
