Mark Denton

Inspirational Skipper
Mark has a fascinating story to tell, of exploits around the world.  He uses his experience as a young leader, as skipper on a round the world yacht race,to bring to life a Leadership Masterclass. His tale is gripping, and his style engaging and inspirational.  Our Masterclass Day brings another dimension to Adapt's portfolio - and succeeds because of Mark's skill in matching Client's messages and vocabulary so well.  This is a story relevant for all leaders.
