Mark Denton Biography

Mark Denton is a Leadership, Team, Resilience and Navigating Change Expert, and multi-award winning keynote speaker, including most recently being voted the ‘Bookers Choice’ at the Speaker Awards 2024.

Denton’s background is in professional Ocean Racing, where he had raced in many of the sport's most gruelling events. But it was the opportunity to lead an amateur team in the ‘world's toughest’ around-the-world yacht race that was to be his making, an experience so rich that it’s Denton’s sole focus for his speeches.

This epic event sees 12 teams in identical yachts vying for glory across 10 months and 32000 miles, the ‘wrong way’ around the world. But these are not crewed by hardy professionals from the rarefied world of elite sport. Rather 100% amateurs, male and female, of different ages, backgrounds and nationalities, 70 % having never sailed before!

It’s the toughest Leadership and Team challenge in the book, and the ultimate laboratory to discover what culture really allows a disparate group of people to achieve the extraordinary when facing constant adversity, change and competition. And the results were surprising, in many ways rewriting the rules of how Leaders and Teams need to be to thrive in a brave new world.

And so it’s been Denton’s mission since to share the learning, recognising that the parallels for business were remarkable. And his audiences from many of the world's greatest Organizations agree, captivating them in over 31 countries to date, and with consistent 5 star reviews.
