Mark is an IT Manager based in Swansea. When he's not IT'ing he's writing verse (although he often combines the two, just to annoy his colleagues). From Twitter-friendly aphorisms to lengthy, tedious explorations of all manner of subjects from Jeffrey Dahmer to the evils of puppy-breeding, Mark truly believes in the power of writing poetry as a catalyst for growth (yikes, did I just say that). He has two dogs, two kids and a wife. Mark's talk will explain why leadership isn't management. Being an inspiring leader often happens way before management does anyway; a person just 'has it', although they may not know it, or believe in themselves enough to go get it. Mark's talk will promote writing poetry as a means of both awakening and cultivating the leader in you, so that you can go get it.
