Travel Managers has been fortunate to have worked with Mark over the past 2 years. We have engaged Mark to speak all around Australia at our state meetings about the principles of demonstrating value which is critical for the day in the life of a personal travel manager who lives and breaths by what they offer their customer. He was received with the big thumbs up and our network are professionals so takes a lot to impress them. Since Mark has facilitated coaching sessions with our Business Partnership Team who work very closely with our network to help them become better business coaches and the results have been fantastic. Mark has also been a great mentor for me and has an energy and passion which is genuine and rare to find in this day and age.
Executive General Manager – Travel Managers
Mark was nothing short of incredible. The energy, enthusiasm and engagement he brought to every single session (even those at midnight and 2am) was tangible and infectious to the audience. Mark’s vivacity, even virtually, was fundamental to increasing our employee’s focus and engagement in every single session. Mark bounced off every presenter and guest speaker with ease and effortlessness as if they were life long friends and knew their topics off by hand. He was able to prove incredibly effective and engaging summaries after every session and managed the Q&A’s, chats and technical glitches seamlessly. The event we ran simply could not have been what it was without Mark. We can’t recommend his hosting, moderating and MCing abilities more. He really knew how to make every single session more palatable and engaging for our audience members no matter the subject matter.
Event Manager, QBE
Mark Carter is an amazing and energetic keynote speaker who really cares about his audience. We have used Mark on numerous occasions and received outstanding feedback from the groups he has engaged with. His content is practical and easy to absorb but has a strong message and easy takeaways for his audience. He is a true professional and will align his message to your business strategies to change behaviour. I rank him as one of our best strategic facilitators for our network.

Managing Director Australasia - Adstream
The entire keynote experience was fantastic from beginning to end. Early engagement with us to assess what was needed and ensure the style and content hit the mark (pun intended). The delivery approach was refreshing, entertaining and insightful. His keynote on leadership was delivered in a way that needs to be experienced to be understood, but suffice to say it is quantum leap from PowerPoint slides and giving his view of the world. The feedback we had from the session was excellent. In addition, Mark ran a breakout training session for LHH to follow on from the keynote, this session was engaging, made great use of interactivity and made a tangible difference to the skill development of the team. I very much look forward to working with Mark again in the future.

Mark Carter's Biography
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.
Mark regularly bundles services - keynotes, workshops, MCing – to add value to your event.
