By confronting fear and uncertainty, attendees map out a pathway forward and take ownership of their outcomes. The process helps unravel the full picture, revealing what needs to be acknowledged in order to gain the clearest possible focus in pursuit of their goals. Participants also engage in an advanced neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) tapping technique designed to embed their desired outcomes at a deeper cognitive and physiological level— creating stronger alignment between their goals, state of being, and embodied awareness.

Attendees learn techniques to create mental space and boost efficiency across both professional and personal life. Specific breathwork patterns are introduced to enhance focus, drop brainwave activity, and lower heart rate. The session supports a shift from a ‘winning at all costs’ mindset to one focused on balance and sustainable success.
Read lessThrough a guided in-class simulation, we explore the power of the mind and how quickly it can lead us to conclusions driven by overthinking or ego. Attendees learn how to ‘feel’ and reconnect with their true self, rather than being influenced by the noise of the overactive mind. We explore how the physiology of the body reveals the internal programs we’re operating from, and how adjusting our physical state can directly shift the way we think. The session also covers effective self-talk strategies and how to communicate clearly when others are under pressure or managing multiple demands.
Read lessThis workshop explores the internal drivers behind our daily actions and decision-making. Attendees learn to build emotional stability and reconnect with deeper inner confidence and self-worth. Instead of ignoring roadblocks or self-limiting beliefs that may have developed in earlier stages of life, we focus on supporting the internal process to establish inner strength and move in the direction we've always desired.

Mark Visser is an Australian big wave surfer, ocean adventurer, bestselling author, and international respected mindset coach. Best known as the founder of ‘The Ocean Warrior’ course and the 2014/15 Big Wave Paddle-In Champion, Mark has spent over a decade operating at the intersection of elite performance, adventure, and human potential.
After years of intense training, Mark made surfing history by riding the notoriously dangerous 40-50ft waves at Jaws (Pe’ahi), Maui, in total darkness. This unprecedented world-first achievement, now known globally as ‘Night Rider’, cemented his reputation as a pioneer not just in big wave surfing, but in what is possible when preparation, trust, and mindset align. For Mark, these feats are about far more than surfing; they are about leadership, emotional intelligence, and staying deeply connected as a team under extreme pressure.
For over 13 years, Mark has worked as a mindset coach to some of the world’s most high-performing individuals and organisations. His clients include world champion surfers Kelly Slater and Steph Gilmore, Australian SAS, US Navy Seals, Olympic athletes, elite sporting teams, and professional coaches within billion-dollar technology companies. He specialises in emotional intelligence and helping individuals connect with their “ultimate self” to perform consistently in high-stakes environments.
Mark has also played a key role in elite Australian football success. From 2019, he has served as a mindset coach for the Melbourne Football Club, working closely with senior coach Simon Goodwin. During this period, Melbourne secured its first AFL premiership in 56 years, with Goodwin named AFL Coach of the Year. Prior to this, Mark was instrumental in Richmond Football Club’s pre-season leadership programs, supporting the club’s breakthrough premiership after a 36-year drought.
A powerful and authentic speaker, Mark delivers high-impact keynote presentations that combine breathtaking visuals, real-world insights, and practical strategies. Drawing on his own extraordinary experiences and challenges, he challenges audiences to rethink fear, embrace uncertainty, and prove that the ‘impossible IS possible’. His talks can be tailored for individuals, teams, and organisations seeking to innovate, strengthen culture, and perform under pressure, whether on land or in the ocean.
