Mark Carter and Beza Mickan-White, Public speaking causes nerves in so many of us. The women making it work network have a range of business owners from solopreneurs who want to practice their elevator pitches to promote their businesses to CEOs who facilitate large meetings and training sessions, others who MC and present on public platforms. The tips you shared can be used by everyone who attended so thank you for your very interactive session.

I cannot recommend Mark (and Beza) highly enough. He is an exceptional trainer whose expertise, dedication, and passion for helping others improve their communication and leadership skills have left a lasting impact on all participants in the Toastmasters program (and other programs we are partnering on.)

Imagine going to a networking event with a level of confidence, ready to represent yourself and your business. Confidence is something I really struggled with… until I attended the orator workshop with Mark Carter and Beza Mickan White to improve my speaking, presenting, and sales skills. The workshop was full of so many golden nuggets to take home. I learnt the formula of how to build the right foundations of what I want to say and how to deliver it and the mindset needed for great communication. I had to admit to myself that I was seriously lacking confidence and really need to believe in myself a lot more. Coming back to that original picture of networking and selling with confidence, it now feels totally achievable and I can’t wait to implement it in the wild. This workshop wasn’t just about learning new skills – for me it was about growing and feeling empowered.

I recently Participated in the Day 2 of ‘Core presentations skills’ part of their program with Mark and Beza and It was a powerful day. As an upcoming teacher/trainer for hospitality, I appreciated how Mark and Beza were able to relate back every skill and topic delivered to how I can use it in regard to a hospitality teaching scenario. The session was full of energy, knowledge and stories, not to mention joy and laughter, especially in some of the interactive activities.

I attended Mark’s workshop on Highly Effective Presentation Skills because I was looking to improve the impact of my presentation. In less than a full day, Mark has successfully empowered me and a full room of colleagues with simple and effective enhancements to our own styles, while showcasing his own incredible skills. The benefits of this workshop were immediately felt, and I look forward to showcase what I learnt. This was one of the most impactful sessions I have ever attended to! Thank you Mark! I am the presentation!

Whilst I’ve worked with Mark for many years, our most recent project was for Mark to deliver a Presentation Skills workshop to all managers in our business. This time around was a little different, as half were in Brisbane, Adelaide with Mark facilitating from Melbourne.  The full-day training session ran extremely well, despite the distance, Mark is always on and maintained energy and connectivity across all sites for the entire day. Mark is always a safe bet when it comes to training sessions, facilitation, or keynote. Thanks again Mark you did an outstanding job and I look forward to working with you again in 2021.

I first discovered Mark Carter’s work through his first book ‘Ignite your potential’ and soon became my ‘go to’ book for both my personal and professional life. I even started to refer to it as my bible. I would use it to direct me back on track and inspire me when I needed a push both personally and professionally. I then sat several of his work shops and booked him for a day workshop for the hotel I was working with and he completely turned around our workplace culture, a huge success. It was then I purchased his second book ‘Add Value’ and it changed my perspective and mindset about what I wanted and what I’ll hold value to both personally and professionally. I recently joined Marks Academy during my downtime of Covid19 to prepare for the next role in my career. I am currently focusing on Coaching, Presentation skills, sales skills, and leadership. I am doing these workshops one on one and Mark keeps it exciting, informative, and inspiring and makes it relevant to my field of hospitality. I recommend Joining Mark’s academy and signing up for one on one or group workshops as its personable and mark will allow it to work in with your circumstance and work at your own pace during these times of Covid19. If you have any further questions about my experience with the Academy, please feel free to Direct message me.

Mark ran a workshop for our entrepreneurship students at Macquarie Business School. It was fun, engaging and insightful. Mark has an excellent command of the online environment and despite the physical distance he created a social closeness. Anyone managing people in an online environment would benefit from Mark’s insights. Creating that social closeness is now more important than ever.

‘Ignite Human Potential’ and ‘Orator’ with Mark Carter was such an incredible workshop. We focused on a compilation of practical presentation tips and program themes; from voice influences and body language to how we build and structure a presentation. A significant part of the two-day session was mastering the art of storytelling using metaphors and learning how to engage an audience using archetypal themes, creativity and sensory engagement. A few key takeaways the team found most valuable:
· The power of authenticity and being genuine
· The importance of self-awareness; harnessing strengths and overcoming weaknesses
· The value of storytelling
· Building relationships and bonding with co-workers 
Having been fortunate enough to work with Mark Carter multiple times over the past 10 years & his sessions are always inspiring, motivating and most importantly relevant to each member of the Skip team. We were able to take pieces of information most relevant to our role and apply them in all areas of communication. I would highly recommend a session for any business!

When I first met Mark, by chance he had a spare copy of his book on him which he gave me. The book was enlightening and made me question my actions with the world around me. One of my most significant realizations when reading the book was the lack of appreciation I showed to my mother, something I wish I realized earlier. The books original and powerful stories are thought provoking, resonating well with anyone looking to achieve a greater level of success. The One-on-one coaching sessions Mark and I engage in have been my biggest asset. Discussing topics from productivity to public speaking, as evidence of my success with Mark I received 100% on my presentation at University. These coaching sessions provide me with invaluable knowledge and skills, helping me to achieve my future goals. Mark is the real deal, his originality and charismatic personality have fuelled not only his success but mine too. I look forward to continuing my journey with Mark and I hope you guys do too.

As the CEO of E-LEAD Global, It was an absolute pleasure for me to engage Mark Carter as a facilitator to run a workshop on leadership and presentation skills as part of the inaugural E-LEAD Vision leadership and career development program. I say this with an absolute level of confidence that Mark is one of the most influential, energetic and eloquent speakers I ever met. His facilitation style is extremely engaging and completely meaningful. The feedback from all participants was also very positive as they found his session to be highly useful.I have no hesitate to recommend Mark to other organisations and look forward to building further collaboration with him.

I would like to thank Mark for helping me prepare a presentation and music clip for a recent seminar I held (Women’s workshop). Mark understood all my comments / feedback, was very professional and imaginative with the presentation. A huge THANK YOU!
