Description

Mark Denton is an multi award-winning Leadership, Teamwork and Resilience Speaker, inspiring Organisations to 'Master the Waves of Change' to achieve sustained success.

However, it's how he does this that sets Mark apart from the crowd. Because rather than preaching the usual cliches, he takes his audiences on a 'roller-coaster' journey instead, through the up's, down's, twists and turns of leading a diverse amateur team to success in the ‘world’s toughest' around-the-world yacht race.

See his incredible 2025 showreel right here:

And as the epic journey unfolds, he shares the secrets that allowed his team to thrive despite facing constant adversity, change and competition.

It’s an intoxicating mix that’s enthralled audiences worldwide, with rave 5 star reviews across all industries, sectors and borders.

“It was one of the most engaging and inspiring talks I’ve ever attended and very skilfully tied back to what’s important for us to focus upon regarding Leadership and Teamwork. I want to do the whole meeting again, I loved it that much!” Shelley Green, Unum PLC

And he also offers 1/2 or 1 day Interactive and competitive Masterclasses, where teams vie for glory in their own virtual race around the world whilst having to solve many of the challenges Mark and his team faced.

There are also many bolt-on sessions available, from facilitated follow-on workshops on a diverse range of topics, personality profiling such as Insights Discovery, or a 'deep dive' into how to build psychological safety based on Mark's partnership with the number 1 authority on the subject, Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson's 'Fearless Organisation'.

Mark was invited to speak at our company’s leadership meeting. It was one of the most engaging and inspiring talks I’ve ever attended. Mark told the story of how he successfully skippered a boat in an ‘round the world’ challenge and very skilfully tied it to business leadership, highlighting important learnings and parallels. Although I know nothing about sailing, it was mesmerising and I felt as if I was leading my own sailing team in a similar navigation - I was with him every step of the way. A brilliant speaker and if you’re looking for an interesting and effective way to get your business leaders to approach leadership differently, I would highly recommend you consider Mark. I want to do the whole meeting again, I loved it that much, as did all of us.

Mark is a superb speaker and his story and the way he tells it has you continuity on the edge of your seat. A really engaging presentation that’s also full of really valuable leadership and team insight.

My client hired Mark to tell his incredible World Challenge yacht race story and bring to life a new company leadership framework. It worked an absolute treat - Mark’s story landed the leadership messages we needed- empower others to act, own your shadow, the importance of psychological safety, team values, vision and resilience. It's an incredible journey and his compelling story telling had the 60 leaders of the company captivated and inspired and most importantly taking away key leadership learnings to immediate apply. Thank you Mark- I would definitely hire him again!
