“What I love about Mark is that he's not just a good talker, he's a good listener.”

I'm Angela Horvat, founder and managing director of 6 Degrees Media. What I love about Mark is that he's not just a good talker, he's a good listener. He hears my objectives before every conference, he reads the room really well, he prepares and he makes himself available to the other speakers. Whether it's his co-speakers at a round table or the panellists at a conference, that is gold and he proves himself time and time again.
“You did a great job keeping everyone super engaged, getting the conversations going, getting people comfortable on stage.”

I'm a Program Director at Clutch Events. This was the first time that we ran this particular event, same with yesterday's at Clutch, so I think getting the audience engaged, having not interacted with this particular kind of role or kind of sector, it always can be a bit odd when you don't have that rapport. I think you did a great job keeping everyone super engaged, getting the conversations going, getting people comfortable on stage as well, especially yesterday with finance – these people who don't typically get to speak. They got very comfortable, very light, which makes you a lot more willing to chat and willing to have really good conversations.
“A gifted storyteller who brings heart and clarity to his work.”
Louise CumminsFounder, Australian Centre for AI in Marketing“A standout communicator, event host and an absolute professional.”

Thirty years reading the room.
Mark is a Certified Speaking Professional, Amazon bestselling author of The Story Code for Leaders (2025), and the creator of The Story Code™. As a technology journalist, keynote speaker and blue-chip brand advisor – from the Australian Financial Review and Silicon Valley to the global stage – he has stood in front of senior teams when the room is hardest.
His method is a storytelling mindset, the discipline of reading and rewriting the stories that shape belief. It is steady, evidence-based, and considered. It is not a hype reel.
The system, applied.
The methodology Mark teaches on stage also transforms teams through workshops, coaching and his Leading Well program. Learn more about these opportunities at The Story Code Co.
