Mark Carter doesn’t just deliver keynotes or facilitate workshops, he creates cinematic, rich learning experiences that spark insight, shift behaviour, and leave a lasting impact. With more than 28 years’ international experience, Mark has helped global brands, blue-chip companies and SME’s elevate leadership, culture, sales, and adaptability through transformative learning and development.

His TEDx talk served as the cinematic trailer for his globally published book, Add Value (Wiley), and he is the founder of a learning management system for SMEs, enabling organisations to translate strategy into behaviour and performance.

Mark’s journey began leading teams across Europe for Contiki Holidays, where a tour bus became a real-world laboratory for human behaviour, decision-making, and leadership under pressure. This shaped his philosophy that human connection drives performance, a principle he has carried into nearly three decades of corporate work as a respected global learning & development professional.

Whether it’s an arena of thousands or intimate workshops, Mark fuses masterful storytelling, behavioural science and actionable frameworks into experiences that are as memorable as they are practical. His work consistently bridges the gap between inspiration and execution, helping organisations future proof their leaders and cultures.

His work is regularly featured across TV, radio, print, and industry media, with clients praising his energy, authenticity, bespoke approach and tangible results. As one delegate put it: “MC should be bottled and drunk daily!”

Born in England, raised in Scotland, and seasoned through world travel, Mark is now based in Australia, blending a global perspective with local insight. An accredited behavioural analyst, his philosophy is anchored in three core principles: Add Value, Be Your Word, and Provide Creative, Selfless Service: the foundation of every keynote, workshop and hosting engagement.

At the Franchise Council of Australia, we have worked with Mark on many events. Whether it be a keynote session, MCing or running a workshop, training or hosting. You will always find it educational, informative, relational and practical. The cinematic style keynotes are very engaging for the audience.

Mark is an engaging and highly sought after speaker. He has a unique ability to captivate and motivate whilst providing thought provoking content, tailored to the audience. I would happily seek his services again and strongly recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their company culture.

– Learning & Development Manager - Haileybury

Mark is one of a kind – his energy and enthusiasm whilst delivering on point content, virtually or in the real world is second to none. Mark recently delivered a virtual session to my team and everyone walked away feeling pumped and with lots of ideas on how they can Add more Value in their day to day roles and in their own lives. Thanks Mark – you’re a legend.

– Managing Director - Spring Professional

We engaged Mark to run a session for our partners on creating Value. We all want to create it but how do we go about this? Value is something that Mark is an expert in, and his passion for the subject shines through. He engaged our partners in an excellent session that was practical, entertaining and inspirational. Mark’s style embodies the art of storytelling and he is masterful at using great examples as well as practical models. I highly recommend Mark as a trainer, facilitator or keynote speaker.

– Principle Partner Marketing Manager - Red Hat

What can I say other than PERFECTION! Mark was engaging and inspiring right from the start! Talking through his experiences, knowledge, and passion in human behaviour. Mark was so easy to work with, tailoring his session to deliver on the brief. If you are looking for a professional that will leave a lasting impact on you and your staff then look no further. I without doubt recommend Mark.
