As North America's #1 real estate sales speaker/trainer, Mark Leader has helped tens of thousands of salespeople raise their production and increase revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars.

At age 9, Mark worked in his family's clothing store. His parents' guidance and tutelage provided him with a strong ethical and spiritual foundation. The self-confidence he gained during his early years set in motion his journey to becoming one of the most dynamic, humorous and sought-after professional speakers and motivators in the industry.

As a sales professional, Mark listed over 1,000 properties and averaged 93 transactions for 8 consecutive years without the help of an assistant or team. Earning virtually every production award available, Mark set records that remain unbroken today.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Mark orchestrated the transition from salesperson to office owner with his characteristic commitment to excellence, and quickly created one of the highest-producing, highest-retention sales organizations in Canada.

The journey continued as Mark launched his speaking/training career. His platform successes lead him on to the creation of Leader's Choice. It was designed, according to Mark, to increase agents' production immediately and change their mindset by dramatically improving self-esteem and creating balance between their professional and personal lives.

With humor, enthusiasm and genuine concern for his students, Mark speaks from his successes to equip agents with the tools they need to break out of mediocrity and discover extraordinary success. Wherever he trains, he leaves behind sales leaders who credit him with jumpstarting their skills, improving attitudes and sending their sales commissions skyrocketing.

Mark has written the book "Distinguishing Marks of a Leader" and has co-authored the book "Blueprint for Success" with Ken Blanchard and Stephen R. Covey as well as the book "Success is a State of Mind" with Les Brown, Mark Victor Hansen and Deepak Chopra.
