Mark's
Speaking Style:
Mark draws on 30 years of
experience in the performing arts as a songwriter and
storyteller to bring his speaking topics alive. His
programs are as interactive and entertaining as they are
informative and instructional. Shepard designs and
delivers programs that provide maximum "take away"
value. Participants gain instant access to sophisticated
tools of transformation. What truly makes his
presentations different is his judicious use of his
original songs and mesmerizing stories to support,
illustrate and reinforce his teaching.
Mark's Most
popular and requested programs:
- Thirsty for the Sky: Drums,
Songs & Stories Celebrating Empowerment, Self Motivation
and Achieving Your Goals. With over 300 songs and
countless original and traditional stories in his
repertoire Mark is uniquely able to create a performance
based program that is ideal as an after dinner feature
or as uplifting change of pace in the middle of a day
full of technical presentations. Depending upon your
theme Mark can create a custom entertainment program
that supports the message and change you want your
audience to leave with.
- The Way of The Modern
Jedi: Master Your Mind for A Change! Defeat the
Dark Side in your Professional Life
- Rapid Rapport: How to
quickly overcome the hurdles of establishing rapport and
connecting with others. This is one of the key tools
Mark uses in assisting shy professionals to feel
confident and comfortable in any setting.
- Impossible People: How to
detect, deflect and defuse difficult people easily and
effortlessly all the while creating and maintaining a
"win-win" outcome for all concerned.
- StressBusters: How to stay
relaxed, calm and resourceful in the face of stress,
rapid change and increased demands of today's frenetic
business world.
- The Reluctant
Salesperson:
Persuasion Power for Professionals
Many "non-sales" professionals such as lawyers,
accountants, and alternative and traditional medical
practitioners cringe at the idea of "selling".
Ultimately true salesmanship is building rapport and
telling stories. This program assists professionals to
feel at ease and "tell their story" in a way that gets
results and creates a win-win relationship based "sale".
