Speaking
Mark Wilson is a finance professional turned keynote speaker who walks into a room and immediately rewires what people think is possible. Born with cerebral palsy and told he’d never walk or talk, he now does both onstage with alarming enthusiasm. His sessions blend sharp insight, real experience and the kind of humour that disarms even the toughest crowd.
Mark doesn’t do motivational wallpaper. He gives audiences actual tools for navigating pressure, change and the messy parts of being human. One moment you’re laughing, the next you’re scribbling down something that’ll help the next time life sideswipes you. His speaking style is warm, fast, clear and very real; no fluff, no sugar-coating, no pretending life is tidy.
He’s worked with schools, corporates, community organisations and charity events, and he’s known for holding a room whether it’s a hall full of teenagers or a boardroom full of executives. His finance background brings credibility, his advocacy brings heart and his humour keeps it all grounded. Mark leaves audiences clearer, lighter and actually equipped to handle their own chaos long after he’s left the stage.
Testimonials
When Mark starts, the room goes quiet, then it leans in. The kids might stare at first, but you can see the penny drop as he mixes humour with straight talk. By the end, they’ve got it. Every school is better off after he leaves.
- Murray O’Donnell, Variety Bash

We’ve known Mark since his teen years. First heard him speak at a Brain Injured Children’s Trust fundraiser — he lit up the room. In a classroom, the kids went from wriggly to silent. He held the whole crowd. He’s grown into a caring, capable young man with a real gift for holding an audience..
- Pat & John Courtney
It was an absolute pleasure having Mark visit our office today. The insights he gave us surrounding his life and experiences were so valuable in helping us understand more and more about brain injuries. We hope Mark is able to continue sharing his experiences with as many people as possible in the future as he is truly an inspiration in overcoming whatever life throws at you.
- Guy Worthington - Ignitions Group
