Speaking Topics
Mark Murphy specializes in all the cornerstones of great leadership, including employee engagement, goal-setting, motivation, team-building, change management, innovation, quality control and peak performance, just to name a few. Whether your event requires laser-like focus on a particular leadership skill or a blend of essential skills inherent to your organization, Mark will customize his keynote presentation to your specific needs. Here are two of his popular themes:
HARD Goals: The Science of Extraordinary Achievement
Everyone can achieve extraordinary things. The secret is setting goals that test the very limits of your abilities. In this session, we explain the science behind getting from where you are to where you want to be in your career, business and life.
Leadership IQ studied nearly 5,000 workers from virtually every field. Conclusively it was found that extraordinary goals, the kind that got America to the moon and back, innovated the iPod, created nanotechnology, and more, stimulate and engage the brain in ways that are profoundly different than the goals most people set.
Hundred Percenters: Leadership That Achieves Greatness
We’ve all heard that if you make employees happy, they’ll give you great performance. But trying to make employees happy does not automatically deliver great performance. In fact, for all the billions of dollars companies have spent trying to satisfy and engage their employees, 72% of employees admit they’re still not giving their best effort at work.
In this session, Mark reveals new research from more than 500,000 employees and leaders on the best leadership style for inspiring employees to passionately give 100% every day. And, in addition to the research, attendees can instantly validate these insights with their own workplace experiences. For example, when people describe the best boss they’ve ever had, they never say, “my leader coddled me and always made me happy.” Instead they say,”my leader challenged me, pushed me past my limits, and taught me to aim higher than I ever thought possible.”
