About
Mark Visser is a motivational speaker for hire in Sunshine Coast, QLD.
Mark Visser surfed Jaws at night, a world first known as Night Rider, and he tells the story with the imagery to match. A big wave paddle-in champion, author and founder of the Ocean Warrior Course, he's been a mindset coach to world champions Kelly Slater and Steph Gilmore and worked with the Australian SAS, US Navy Seals, Olympic athletes and business teams. His keynotes centre on backing yourself, doing the work, surrounding yourself with great people and doing what you say you'll do, and presentations can be tailored to your company's goals and ethos. Beyond the stage he runs masterclasses of one to two hours and half-day workshops on mental wellbeing, performance and leadership. Down to earth, energetic, and based on the Sunshine Coast.
Watch
The show
Down to earth, genuinely energetic, and a natural on stage rather than a rehearsed one. Mark works with large corporations, leadership teams and business professionals looking for an edge at work, and presentations can be shaped around your company's ethos and key messages, or around specific goals for your brand or club. Four ideas run through everything he says: self belief, meaning the willingness to back yourself; doing the work, because nothing is gifted or guaranteed; surrounding yourself with great people, since a supportive culture is what carries a team; and doing what you say you'll do, which builds real confidence in you and the people around you. His background is in elite sport, corporate work and leadership teams across a lot of industries, and his focus is mindset development, processing fear and stress, and advanced emotional intelligence.
On the day
Vision matters here, because the Night Rider footage and the imagery carry a lot of the talk. So you'll need audio and visual set up in the room, running from a Mac laptop. That's the practical ask. Sort the screen and the sound and the rest of the presentation travels with him.
Performance options
Alongside keynotes, he runs masterclasses in one to two hour blocks and workshops as half day sessions, teaching self awareness, mental wellbeing, performance and leadership skills. The Backpack Procedure, an hour, identifies emotional baggage that isn't serving you any more and gives you ways to clear space and work more efficiently at home and at work. The Mind Body Process, also an hour, uses an in-class simulation to show how fast an over-thinking mind or ego drags you to a conclusion, and how to feel your way past the noise instead. Who's Holding the Mic? runs two hours and digs into the mental structure driving your day to day, then works on supporting yourself from within. Map It Out and Tap It Out, another two hours, gets clear on where you are and what's needed next, exposing the fear of failure so you can find solutions and lock in a positive pattern.
