Mark Kenny drove home our conference theme… Absolute grand slam! Mark, thank you for such a great presentation and look forward to having you back in the future!
This isn’t a keynote about collaboration. It’s a chance to experience what happens when people start working through what really matters together.
These aren’t speeches.
They’re shared experiences where people experience what it takes to move forward together.
Through story, interaction, and simple but powerful exercises, your audience experiences:
-
What changes when people genuinely try to understand each other
-
How conversations shift when we say what needs to be said and others feel safe doing the same
-
What changes when people stop carrying old frustrations into new conversations
-
What becomes possible when people start believing in each other again
Not as ideas, but as something they actually feel in the room.
People don’t leave trying to remember a framework. They leave showing up differently in their very next conversation.

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
Uncommon Collaboration™
The Passes That Transform How Teams Work Together When It Matters Most
Why do capable teams still struggle to move forward together?
Most organizations have capable people and clear goals. Yet teams still drift apart. Alignment fades, conversations get harder, and momentum slows.
When pressure is high and uncertainty is normal, even strong teams start pulling in different directions. Conversations happen, but not the ones that truly move work forward. Decisions don’t stick, and leaders end up carrying more than they should.
It happens when people start guarding themselves instead of giving others what they need to move forward.
Uncommon Collaboration™ begins when we start passing what others truly need.
In this highly interactive keynote, Mark helps teams realign and move forward together by changing how people show up for the conversations that matter most. Through story, interaction, and shared experiences, audiences discover what changes when people start showing up differently for each other.
People leave more connected, more aligned, and better equipped to move work forward together.
Program Objectives:
- Recognize the patterns that quietly create disconnection and slow teams down
- Experience how everyday responses either move conversations forward or stall them
- Apply the passes of Uncommon Collaboration™ to align, build trust, and create forward momentum
INSIDE THE EXPERIENCE
Watch Mark in Action
See what happens when a room starts to shift, and people begin showing up differently with each other.
Story Clip
When collaboration quietly breaks down.
What starts as a humorous rec-league story becomes an honest look at what happens when people begin to withhold what others need. As the story unfolds, it reveals how quickly things change when we stop “passing” to each other, even when everyone is trying to do their part.
Leadership Clip
When a conversation reshapes a leader.
In this candid moment, Mark shares how one uncomfortable conversation reshaped how he led. It’s a reminder of how a single moment of truth can reshape how we lead.
Engagement Clip
When the room starts to shift.
The room comes alive as Mark brings people into a simple but powerful interaction. What starts as a light moment quickly becomes a clear, visual experience of what happens when truth starts moving, and how it changes the energy of the room.
The feedback on your keynote was outstanding! It was a wonderfully different approach that really helped foster connection… and set the stage for engagement throughout the rest of the conference!
