"The session people will be
quoting six months later"
Dr Mark is not a motivational speaker who discovered neuroscience. He is a neuroscientist who discovered he could change the way people live and work by making the science practical.
He has served on think tanks, received numerous awards for research and teaching, and is recognised internationally as a leading voice on how modern life is reshaping human attention, productivity, and behaviour.
"We could not have
asked for a better keynote that was
informative and entertaining."

The Work
Dr Mark's research focuses on the neuroscience of human potential. How the brain drives decision-making, memory, focus, resilience, and connection.
Over the past decade, he has developed evidence-based frameworks that help organisations build cultures where people genuinely thrive.
His keynotes are not about hacks or habits. They are about understanding how the brain actually works and then designing your leadership, your team, and your environment around that reality.
He has presented on five continents, working with corporate leaders, government bodies, high-performance teams, and universities across the globe.
In 2026, he was featured on 60 Minutes in the Brain Drain episode, cementing his reputation as one of the country's most credible and compelling voices on brain science and human modern performance.
