Mark Webb - Passion over tradition!


Listen Later

What does it mean to really grab life by the horns and follow your passion over tradition?


And how do you cope with a life-changing diagnosis?


Mark Webb is a multi-award winning public speaker and disability advocate with an incredible story to tell. In our conversation he shares:


  • The value of being a 'ski bum' and what he learned from travel repping
  • Why he dropped out of university off the back of job ad on a poster
  • How he came to chaperone Michael Jackson at Disneyland Paris
  • The events that led to his MS diagnosis and how his experiences with his employer and colleagues became the beginning of his speaking career
  • The lessons we all need to learn as employers and colleagues when someone shares their diagnosis
  • Why it's so important to be one of the Good Guys


We also discuss how Mark helped his CEO at Dixons to become the most followed FTSE 100 leader on Twitter (as was) without a scandal!
