SPEAKING

HEART-LED LEADERSHIP IGNITES HUMAN POTENTIAL

In today’s world, organizations face the unprecedented challenge of attracting and retaining talented, productive and resilient people – especially at a time when millions globally reassess their jobs, bosses and employers. In the post-pandemic era, employees demand more than a paycheck to commit to a company. When their deeper needs go unmet, they move on.

Success requires a bold reinvention of leadership, prioritizing well-being to foster positive emotions that unlock optimal performance. In his dynamic speaking presentations, Mark C. Crowley draws on 25 years as a star-performing senior leader in the financial services where his heart-led leadership practices earned him “Leader of the Year” at one of America’s largest financial institutions. He shares proven principles from his groundbreaking book, “Lead From The Heart: Transformational Leadership for the 21st Century,” which sparked a global movement for humane leadership, inspiring employees to achieve record-breaking results while feeling valued and enthusiastic about work

Mark also shares insights from his new book, “The Power of Employee Well-Being: Move Beyond Engagement to Build Flourishing Teams,” offering research-backed strategies to shift from outdated engagement models to fostering thriving, resilient teams. Grounded in science from Oxford, Gallup and more, he proves prioritizing well-being drives greater productivity, retention and profits.

Mark’s transformative message, delivered to organizations worldwide, unveils science-backed leadership practices that align with human nature to unlock exceptional employee performance. His authentic, emotionally resonant, and evidence-driven style captivates audiences, often earning standing ovations – as he did after delivering a powerful keynote (above) to over 1,000 leaders in Prague, Czech Republic.
