A SPEAKER PAGE FOR MEETING PLANNERS AND TEAM LEADERS | BOOK MARK TO DELIVER A FREE PRODUCTIVITY TALK FOR YOUR TEAM, GROUP OR NETWORK
Hi, I’m Mark Bryce,
Thank you for your interest in a FREE team or group talk. I’ve been teaching people for over 25 years, and my special skill is teaching how to plan for success; organise and find time on ridiculously busy days. In my free talk I focus on how to manage time and get more done, especially when it comes to dealing with a lot of emails (Inbox Zero). I help participants rethink their relationship with time; organise their day and make their inbox work for them.
FREE PLANNING FOR SUCCESS TALK: TAG IT! – INBOX ZERO FOR TEAMS
In this talk, I focus on time finding and productivity … but not your management speak, boring productivity … I focus on real world productivity. I focus on ‘Time Finding’. I share a ‘5 Step Productivity System for Teams’.
I highlight the power of ‘Inbox Zero’ and show participants how to go from 800 or more unread emails waiting in their inbox to 13 emails within just 48 hours … plus how to have fun doing it.
I make participants feel empowered and more in control of their time.
My talk won’t waste time … it will save time … AND by saving time we can then focus on cooler priorities such as billable hours; building better customer relationships; being more creative; engaging with your colleagues; making time for family; making time for well-being and more.
Want more detail before you book? Let’s start with …..
2 reasons not to book me
#1 – Don’t book me if you want someone to just talk. I know it’s called a talk but all of my sessions include practical activities, live demos and guided learning. I like to use activities such as ’15 Minute Challenges’ and ’30 Second POP Content’.
#2 – Similar to the first reason, don’t book me if you want a 150+ slide PowerPoint. It’s really not my style. I once did a full day training session with just 1 slide and 3 embedded videos. I like to follow a format of 5 slides + a relatable story + practical activities and resources to take away. I always allow time for Q&A.
4 quick testimonials about my previous events
- “Really good interaction between attendees. Fun and Enjoyable”
- “I was worried that I would not understand everything. The time passed very quickly because Mark made the whole talk so easy and enjoyable to understand. I am so pleased I attended this event”
- “I thought it would be PowerPoint presentations and reading through handouts. [I now have] a much better understanding of how to deal with Safeguarding issues. Don’t be scared of safeguarding. I would recommend this event because the delivery was fun, challenging and informative”
- “Mark has been an outstanding trainer taking those [that] have struggled and showing them patience and understanding till they grasped the concepts. The training is PowerPoint heavy [supplied slides] but Mark made it engaging and enjoyable”
Note: I know people love testimonials with names, job titles and faces. It makes it more relatable. However, I make all of my evaluations anonymous with an option to give your name and contact details so I can dig a little deeper if needed. Most people don’t give a name. I get the truth that way. There are more testimonials further down this page, keep scrolling if you want more testimonials.

More Testimonials (if you need them)
Coaching
► “O.m.g bin off this wk and applied for 3 jobs. All offered an interview and 1 got my C.V. from Indeed and asked me to go for interview when I never applied. Thanks 4 ur help” [sic] (by text to Mark)
► Co-Coaching – “Kirstin was absolutely brilliant when helping me secure my placement, completed in my third year as part of my University course. She helped and supported me through every stage of the application process, from the CV writing, through the assessment centre and with the final interview. I cannot recommend or thank her enough for all she did to prepare me fully for each stage of the application process” (from Kirstin’s LinkedIn Profile)
► “Whatever the problem, day or time (be it 7am or midnight), I know that I am always welcomed with any questions that I may have. His teaching styles are creative, enjoyable and valuable. He is very honest with his opinion and gets straight to the point. Mark’s kindness and helpfulness constantly makes me smile, and sets me up for a day full of motivation, even on some of my more challenging days. MB is clearly very knowledgeable; be it about web design, professional online presence or even Disney princesses. I feel as though I can really be myself and talk about any problems that I feel relevant; Mark will always help, however possible”
Projects, Mentorships and Challenges
► “One of the most worthwhile experiences I have ever had”
► “The 153 Mile Challenge – a brilliant, simple and accessible idea which we wanted to adopt for a (large scale) youth based project up in the Lancaster area” (Guy Christiansen, Creative Learning Director at The Dukes Theatre in Lancaster)
► “The Pirates of St Cleopas enjoyed the whole journey of ‘the adventure starts’. The simplicity of taking a theme from a story book and bringing it to life over a 3 month period was genius! It allowed the children to explore, experience and share! The training was so valuable to the project, it inspired staff, re-energised our outlook in provision, and most importantly allowed us to re-visit the aims of our play provision. The project allowed parents and families to get involved…. Dig out photo’s, share treasured memories with their children and collect items. Although it was initially to engage children, it very much engaged the families of the children involved. Many thanks to Mark for all your support, a treasured project :-)”
Guided Learning and Training
► “Mark was honest, knowledgeable and concise. I feel confident knowing how to move forward”
► “Love the more casual, non-classroom approach”
► “Enjoyed the Course. Online training a new way of learning. Really easy and enjoyable”

[This event resulted in me understanding] that Safeguarding is part of a normal conversation and person-to-person relationship. I’m less worried about Safeguarding, more confident and happier. I would recommend this event as it takes the fear out of Safeguarding”
