More on Mark's Presentations

1) STAND-UP COMEDY

“First Thought Wrong/Perfectly Broken”

(Recovery-based, not recovery-specific show for universal audiences/functions)

Carlin-like wit, depth and delivery are all present in this bullet-fast, lightning paced show about personality disorders, family dysfunction, relationship challenges, fractured success, mismanaged gifts and the ability to rise above all the detritus of life. No one else does this type of stand-up comedy right now. You will laugh, cry, empathize and despise some of the characters Mark brings to life on stage. When it is over, you will look at all life with a different perspective: Healthy is relative, hope is available and there is always room for more!

2) CORPORATE/COMEDY KEYNOTE

“Taking Your Nose OFF The Grindstone”

(Corporate Speech; Motivational/ Comedy Keynote)(45-60 minutes)

Note: EVERY corporate show is TAILORED to your industry/clientele/staff/market!!

This original, comedic presentation will enable you to use your sense of humor to return to passion and discover deeper purpose at work, at home and in the community. Stop taking life personally and diffuse the stress in your life by learning that control is a myth, hope is free and defects of character are simply tools misused! Whether your business is wingnuts, WiFi or women’s fashion, YOU are the product and what you sell is simply an accessory. S.A.L.E. stands for Securing Another Lifelong Experience. Supply and demand: you are a relationship magnet waiting to be turned on and attract the people that matter in your life. Demand is guaranteed. Will you be healthy enough to be an available supply?

3) PROFESSIONALS:

“Flexing Your Humor Muscle”

(Humor Workshop for Healthcare and Treatment Professionals)(90-120 minutes)

Unlike anything in the healthcare field today, this presentation is very specific to physicians, nurses, psychologists and all addiction and treatment professionals.

Hilarious, irreverent, and emotional stories of hope, healing, heart and humor designed especially for the dedicated people who work on the front lines of the disease of addiction, codependency, alcoholism and other dysfunctional family dynamics. They will be invited to examine themselves professionally AND personally in order to rediscover passion, purpose and potential. Powerpoint, group exercises, comedic material and personal disclosure are all used to give these attendees more tools to take to work with them next week!! This workshop will remind the “pros” why they work with the “cons”!!

One of the lines Mark uses in this workshop is “this is the job I have because it is the work I was born to do!”
