Mark Sanborn is simply the best. I first encountered Mark while I was still working in the corporate world, and he was so good at that time 14 years ago, that we hired him to present upwards of 40 presentations to our corporate audience in a single year. He would be the guy that would open and close (the headliner) and then I'd be the corporate "dud" that would do all the technical and company stuff.
Mark Sanborn is an amazing business and leadership professional speaker. One of the bonuses of having hired Mark in those early days is that I got to learn from and emulate the best. If I'm perfectly honest with myself, seeing Mark all those times, spawned the desire in me to become a professional motivational speaker.
I could tell you all the incredible accomplishments Mark has achieved, but I'd still miss a bunch of them ... he's done that much (so you can check out his website to get more info). But the highlights include that he's the international best-selling author of The Fred Factor, he is known as "the high content speaker who motivates," he presents over 90 programs each year on leadership, team building, customer service and mastering change and his client list includes Exxon, BMW Financial, New York Life, Costco, ServiceMaster, and HP. Add to that he's been elected to the National Speakers Association CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame and he's a Past President of the National Speakers Association.
The coolest thing about Mark is that ... well ... he's cool! He is the "James Bond" of professional speaking. He is the true epitome of professionalism; handsome, clean cut, a true business profession. ... And then, on top of that, he rides a Harley, he loves fine tequila, and he is one of the most disarmingly funny people I get to spend time with. On top of that ... (I know, it's almost like "enough is enough" already) he's a great Dad of 2, a consummate husband and a committed spiritual "family man."
Motivational Quote: One of my favorite motivational quotes by Mark Sanborn is:
"Focus and determination beat brains and intellect every time. If you focus on
the right things, and work at them often, you will achieve exceptional results."

If you ever get a chance to hear Mark Sanborn speak ... well ... jump at it. His "Fred the Postman" experience is one of the classic platform presentations of the speaking profession (and the foundation of the best selling book he authored).
Have a great day!
