Helping You See
Because the greatest vision comes from fulfillment.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER - CEO - PARALYMPIAN
I’m Mark
A speaker, father, ceo, and two time gold medal paralympian
I lost my eyesight at 9. Today, I run a multimillion-dollar health company without being able to see it. I’ve also stood on the podium twice as a Paralympic gold medalist.
But my story isn’t about blindness. It’s about creating fulfillment, which comes from choosing accountability, finding what drives you and taking bold action. Every day, I’ve had to trust my team, create systems that function without my oversight, and take steps forward without certainty. That’s not business, that’s leadership.
As a keynote speaker, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of people — leaders, teams, and organizations — helping them reframe adversity, create freedom in how they live and work, and find the fulfillment that fuels real results. My keynotes are about more than my journey, they are about giving audiences the tools and mindset to move from fear to forward motion.
And it doesn’t stop there. Every keynote supports my nonprofit work, helping people with vision loss gain rewrite the narrative and discover what’s possible when resilience meets opportunity.
Mark Bentz has changed the way I look at the world. His keynote is nothing short of transformative.
“His message of grit, resilience, and being unstoppable resonated deeply with our audience. Mark's journey from adversity to extraordinary success is a testament to the power of mindset and determination. Truly inspiring and unforgettable!”
Julia Oulton, CEC - Strategic Advisor & Executive Coach

Why Audiences Book Me
constant change, disruption, and uncertainty are the new normal. That pressure leaves teams stuck in fear, leaders stretched thin, and organizations struggling to keep people engaged and moving forward.
I know how much pressure businesses face today.
That’s where my keynote comes in: I give your people the drive to handle disruption, the clarity to act when the path isn’t clear, and the fulfillment that keeps performance sustainable. Leaders walk away ready to build trust and alignment. Teams leave with practical tools to take bold action instead of waiting for perfect conditions. This isn’t inspiration for the moment but a roadmap for lasting results.
