Unbreakable

Most talks on resilience sell optimism. Mark Pollock’s don’t. Unbroken by blindness at 22 and paralysis at 34, he gives leaders and their teams a clear, repeatable way to respond when unexpected challenges strike. They leave knowing 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 joined us in Luxembourg to help our employees face the challenge of implementing our ambitious vision. Using his deep experience of staying resilient, innovating and working together was uplifting, and it provided the framework for how to do what we need to do. He delivered exactly what we were looking for.

Mark spoke at our first ever global managers meeting at Dr. Martens in London. His powerful talk around perseverance, teamwork and collaboration really resonated and mirrored our own brand values. We would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone who wants their team to reframe its thinking and approach.

Mark opened our conference at Cisco EMEAR, titled ‘Making It Happen’. I had high hopes and expectations and they were all significantly exceeded. Since the session, so many of our business partners have commented on how much they appreciated Mark’s input and how we used his insights to set the tone for the conference.

When a leadership team is navigating uncertainty they didn’t plan for, when a sales force needs to hold its nerve in a difficult market, or when an organisation is grappling with disruption it didn’t see coming, the question is never really about the challenge itself. It is always about what leaders and their teams decide to do next.

Built on his Unbreakable Framework, Mark Pollock addresses that question through three decisions. Do they step into the arena as competitors or sit back as spectators? Do they deal in facts as realists or rely on hope as optimists? Do they work together as collaborators or go it alone as soloists?

Unbreakable framework

The Unbreakable Framework is a different way to think about performance, resilience, and collaboration. It gives leaders and their teams a clear, repeatable way to respond to unexpected challenges by deciding to step into the arena as competitors rather than sit back as spectators, to deal in facts as realists rather than rely on hope as optimists, and to work together as collaborators rather than go it alone as soloists.
