Unbreakable

Mark Pollock during an expedition

Forged After Blindness
Tested After Paralysis

Unbroken by blindness at 22 and paralysis at 34, keynote speaker Mark Pollock uses his Unbreakable Framework to help leaders and their teams develop a clear, repeatable way to respond when unexpected challenges strike. Without waiting for certainty that isn’t coming, they leave knowing exactly how to deal in facts, differentiate between what they can and can't control, and do what it takes to get the job done.

Mark gave our newly formed global team a shared language for tenacity and collaboration. Direct, warm and meticulously prepared. If you want a team to leave the room ready to take ownership of what comes next, book Mark.

To take on endurance challenges in places like the Poles, the Himalaya and the Gobi Desert requires great courage and mental strength. The fact that Mark completed these adventures blind, and continues to explore what’s possible after losing the use of his legs, makes him truly remarkable.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE

For the finale of our lecture series ‘What Does it Mean to be Human in the 21st Century?’, Mark Pollock and human rights lawyer Simone George discussed the tension between acceptance and hope when faced with life’s toughest circumstances. Their presentation was moving and thought-provoking, and it led on to a deep conversation on stage with a neuroscientist and clinical psychologist that will stay with us

Director, Human Insights Lab, The Dock, Accenture

Mark delivered a powerful and impactful session called ‘Exploring Performance Potential’. Our colleagues across Asia Pacific not only enjoyed the session, but were prompted to think differently. Their feedback has been extremely positive.

Sometimes we choose our challenges and sometimes they choose us. What we decide to do about it is what matters.
