The Intention Imperative: Three Essentials That Will Make You a Successful Leader Today
Nobody ever got to the top of Mount Everest accidentally. Summiting the highest peak in the world takes clarity and intention AND so does leading successfully. Intentional Leadership = clarity (knowing clearly where you want to go) + intentionality (taking consistent action to get there). Clarity without consistent action is daydreaming. Consistent action without clarity is wasted time and effort.
Just as the tools of successful mountaineering have changed and improved over time, so have the requirements of intentional leadership. Based on 33 years of working with organizations globally, teaching leaders and observing powerful shifts, Mark has identified three essential areas of focus for leaders in the world:
- Inspiration: motivation to the power of purpose
- Culture: creating an engine that sustains vision and values while achieving desired results
- Emotion: designing and delivering positive emotions for customers and employees
In this program, Mark explains how five very different businesses use clarity of purpose and consistent action to flourish in their given fields. He shows how they have harnessed and successfully employed the three essentials in their practices and how it is possible to improve your own business dramatically by learning from these real-world examples. The Intention Imperative is a practical, proven and engaging presentation based on the latest and best of Mark’s thinking.
Up, Down, or Sideways: How to Succeed When Times are Good, Bad, or In Between
Discover practical ways to prepare for and deal with change – good, bad or otherwise – by focusing on the mindsets and methods that never change.
Predicting the future is easy; predicting it correctly is very hard. Since we can’t be certain of what the future holds, what should we always be doing to ensure our success regardless of what happens?
Originally created to help audiences through the aftermath of the economic downturn of 2008, this presentation contains strategies and tips extremely relevant to the COVID-19 crisis and any other extreme situations.
This Program:
- Examines the mindsets and methods that enable us to succeed come what may
- Teaches a practical way of preparing for and dealing with change
- Helps listeners to focus on those things that should never change
- Shows the audience how to make the most of up, down, and sideways situations
- Improves company morale and inspires teams to push through challenging times
- Advises what to do when coming out of a crisis.
The Potential Principle: A Proven System for Closing the Gap Between How Good You Are And How Good You Could Be
How do you keep getting better when you’re already the best? Or what happens when complacency, outdated thinking or weariness stunts performance? What do you do when growth stalls, or when your team is working below its true potential?
THE ANSWER: You’ve got to pursue your true potential.
Today’s top performers and top companies often experience a crisis once they’ve moved into the number one spot. It is easy to become complacent and rest on past accomplishments while competitors are biting at your heels.
When you’re Number One, there is nobody to emulate. You either keep increasing your lead or run the risk of being overtaken by Numbers Two through Five.
Mark Sanborn has worked with many of America’s best companies. That’s because he has the ability to motivate and teach simple, proven and highly effective ways of thinking and doing that keep individuals and organizations moving forward and gaining new ground.
Not only has he learned from working with the best-some 2600 clients-but he’s learned what doesn’t work, too, and he can help you change your thinking and supercharge your performance.
Here’s what Mark teaches:
- Why top performers must go beyond simply “achieving the goals” or “making your numbers”
- Why “taking action” isn’t enough (and what really is)
- How to become laser-focused each day and do those things that produce the biggest results (learn the specifics, not the generalities)
- Two statements anyone can use that absolutely define collaboration and teamwork – Six things you absolutely control
- What is far more important than the ability to change
- A form of discontent that achievers use to continually improve
If you’re having a meeting of top performers, organizational leaders or anyone who needs a boost to supercharge their outlook and performance, talk to us about how Mark can help.

You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader Presentation: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference
In his work with corporate America, Mark Sanborn has found that too many definitions of leadership are focused on the outer manifestation of leadership: the title, position on the org chart, and corner office space. These perquisites of appointed leadership may have little to do with the actual ability of the individual who enjoys them to lead. Sanborn has found that the more telling characteristic of true leaders is their power with people as opposed to the positional power they may enjoy over people.
As one of our leading thinkers, authors and speakers on leadership, Mark has focused on the true heart of leadership; What he refers to as little ‘l’ leadership. This-genuine leadership-is not conferred by title or location in the executive suite. It is leadership demonstrated through our everyday actions and the way we influence the lives of those around us.
Mark was inspired to write You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference by his encounters with the genuine, often untitled, leaders that make such a significant and positive difference at every level of our organizations.
In Mark’s keynote presentation of the same name you’ll gain valuable insights on how to develop your own leadership ability and the leadership potential of your employees. He’ll show you how to identify and develop the characteristics that define genuine leadership.
