“Finally, a speaker who connects well with all students, from the general student population to Greek life and athletics.  Mark is the most refreshing new voice in college programming"
 -Lori Medford, Victim Advocate

When you bring Mark Dawson to speak you get a speaker unlike most “college speakers” or school speaker. Mark is not a career academic or a student turned speaker like many of the “experts” and “speakers” students and educators have experienced. He is very real and his broad base of life, business and athletic experiences add to his keen ability to relate to people of all ages and all walks of life. Mark has an ability to capture the attention and respect from audiences like few other “college speakers” can, especially when talking to all male groups, fraternities and student athletes. He is a proven leader and “influencer” with an extensive and diverse background guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

Getting To YES
Addressing issues, challenges, and solutions regarding
safe dating, safety, consent, communication, respect and sexual assault awareness.

Sales 101 says, “To sell yourself (or products or services) you must get the prospect saying yes”.  Getting To YES is an entertaining, fun and inspiring program that leaves the audience with a whole new way of looking at and approaching dating, healthy relationships, sexual assault and consent. This is not your typical program on sexual assault awareness and prevention or your typical speaker.    Mark does not see sexual assault as a “women’s” issue or a man against woman issue. His approach is NOT to tell an audience what NOT to do as so many programs do, especially to male audiences.  Mark’s approach is positive and refreshing. He will have the audience laughing one minute then hanging on every word the next as he shares personal dating stories, being in relationships with survivors of sexual assault and talks about how students can have more fun dating, healthy dating, prevent sexual assault, offer support for survivors and provide specific information about how to help a friend, girlfriend, sister etc. 

In Getting To YES Mark openly and honestly addresses issues of:

▪Consent
▪Communication
▪Body language and mixed signals
▪Respect
▪Personal responsibility
▪Sex under the influence
▪Date rape drugs
▪The dating race (“game”)
▪Sexual assault
▪How to help survivors
▪Bystander intervention
▪and much more.

Mark empowers students with the knowledge, tools and desire to date safer, help keep women in there lives safe and make their campus a safer place while also gaining skills to practice healthier dating behaviors, how to ask first and the difference it can make, increased awareness, responsibility and communication in their own lives while discovering new and fun approaches to dating and intimacy.

This program is perfect for any type of student programming and can be customized to meet your specific needs.

"Can you hear me now?"™
Bringing clarity and “reception” to your relationships
(a communication and leadership program)
 

Can you hear me now?  We hear people say that quite often when on a cell phone.  The cause is often a bad connection or bad signal.  The same is true of many of our relationships.  If you want to learn how to improve your relationships, connect better with people and enhance your ability to influence and lead others this program is for you.  Too often we live by what some call the Golden Rule, “Treat people how you want to be treated.”  Well that’s the problem, the real magic is to treat people the way THEY want to be treated.  Hundreds of years of research has shown that people’s personalities fall into four major categories and once you figure out what categories people in your life fit into, its possible to understand everything about them and how to speak and interact with different people in THEIR language. Mark will explore human behavior in a scientifically proven program that will help you learn how to bring your “A” game to any school function, meeting, team and even to the bar on Friday night. This program is an entertaining approach to exploring your personality and discovering the most effective way to communicate and relate with others.
