"Mark was absolutely awesome! We all thoroughly enjoyed the training and general experience. It was uplifting, emotional and powerful. Others have said it was the most worthwhile PD they have ever experienced. Coming from harsh critics in this place, this is a fabulous endorsement of Mark and his program"

"Mark’s Braving Leadership Program has been exceptionally well received by our senior student leadership team. Some, in fact have described it as ‘life changing.’
The program is unlike other student leadership programs in that it directly addresses some of the issues that our young people find the most difficult, for example holding their peers to account.
The program is a mix of mentoring and capacity building to help young leaders develop the skills to build a culture where students not only look out for each other but also develop the courage to call a peer out in a respectful way. Respectful interactions in every context are a key principle of the program.
Mark’s program is intentional, relevant and effective."
