Audience Impact & Outcomes
Turning founder audiences into focused, action-ready growth leaders.
Why Impact Matters
Event organisers don’t just want to fill a stage slot - they want their audience to walk away changed.
Mark Preston’s talks are designed to do exactly that.
Every keynote, workshop, or session delivers practical clarity, real-world relevance, and a clear plan of action - so founders leave knowing exactly what to do next.
What Audiences Leave With
-
Clarity on What Actually Drives Growth: Attendees learn how to strip away noise, distractions, and shiny-object thinking - and focus only on actions that move the business forward.
-
A Repeatable, Actionable Framework: Every session includes a simple, proven structure founders can take away and apply immediately - no big budgets, no guesswork.
-
Confidence to Make Bold Growth Decisions: Founders leave with the confidence to cut wasted effort, prioritise effectively, and execute at speed.
-
Real-World, Battle-Tested Insights: Lessons come from 20+ years of hands-on business building, scaling a franchise network, and advising high-growth founders - not theory.
-
The ‘Growth Without the Waste’ Mindset: A mental shift that changes how they view scaling forever - doing the right things in the right order, with the resources they already have.
Immediate Outcomes for Organisers
-
Engaged, Energised Audience: Founders leave inspired and ready to act, not just 'motivated in the moment'.
-
Positive Event Feedback: Organisers consistently report strong post-session ratings and high-value attendee feedback.
-
Extended Event Impact: The clarity and tools shared in Mark’s talks keep delivering results weeks and months after the event ends.
What Past Attendees Say
"Mark quietly delivers golden, actionable advice that truly drives growth."
"He is unassuming and quietly spoken and quietly dropped nuggets of gold along the way that will make more difference to us than many of the more flamboyant-but-with-less-substance speakers I've seen in my time. If you're looking for someone who can offer actionable advice not only to grow your customer base but make sure prospects feel they're in the right place once they're on your site, I can recommend Mark wholeheartedly."
Guy Clapperton MCIPR, Founder at Clapperton Media Associayes Ltd

"What people want to hear is our voice. Our intention, what can we do to help them, how we do it etc - all the information that enables our potential clients to make an informed decision. And that in a nutshell is the message that Mark left with me - have I given my potential clients enough information to help them make an informed decision. This is a work in progress - one that has already started. Thanks Mark for your inspiration and for prompting so many thoughts. I enjoy thinking."

"Mark’s talk makes you rethink your story and what truly makes you unique."
"I saw Mark on stage at the GB Confex last week and he made impact, reminding us all about our website, our story, what makes us unique and different and so much more. Basic things like I add 6 figures within 6 months isn't the first thing to see on my website but this is what I am known for. Mark makes you look at what you are doing and even video the most important message he wants you to remember. Thanks Mark for an inspiring, thought provoking talk. Alison."

Made what I find a difficult subject, easy to understand but more importantly I had a lot of implementable notes, which I know will improve my Business. So if SEO confuses you contact Mark and see the mists lift"

Why This Resonates With Founder Audiences
Founders face constant pressure to do more, faster. But more often than not, that leads to burnout, misdirection, and wasted resources.
Mark’s sessions give them something they rarely get - the space and structure to think clearly, the confidence to cut the waste, and a path to grow with purpose.
