Mark Mayfield Speaking Fee, Schedule, Bio & Contact Details

Mark has one of the most diversified backgrounds in the speaking industry having owned and operated several businesses ranging from livestock production to nightclubs to golf instruction, and also spent ten years as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. and in thirteen state legislatures for a Fortune 500 company. That business experience combined with his work as a nightclub performer allowed him to create truly unique presentations. His tagline is simple: Solid Business Wisdom in a Brilliant Comedic Style. He is one of the rare individuals in the world who is equally adept at performing comedy shows or high content speeches.

He has received rave reviews sharing the stage with a wide variety of celebrities like Paul Newman, Peter Frampton, Colin Powell, and Bob Newhart and has introduced a President of the United States on a live, nationwide television broadcast.

Mark is author of several business books and two joke books including his latest "Morph", a guide to accepting and managing change, and has spoken to a "Who's Who" list of corporations, conventions, and trade associations over the past four decades. He was raised on a farm, received two degrees magna cum laude from Kansas State University, and taught school before he began his lobbying, business, and speaking career. He has received the CSP designation from the National Speakers Association and been inducted into their Hall of Fame.

He is happily married (although his wife is not) and is the proud father of two daughters. He is also the most annoying Grandpa on the planet.

From comedy shows to seminars, Mark's philosophy is simple say it with humor and people will take the message home. A national convention planner recently called Mark "one of the very few, really funny, inspiring men in America today." Mark's mom also said that once after a small bribe.

Your Keynote Address in the morning and the Awards Banquet Presentation that night were the best ever. To hold an audience's attention with a strong target message that entertains them at the same time with related hysterical comedy is a rare talent.

Mark was AWESOME!! We had nothing but positive feedback from our group about him. I asked several people at cocktail hour that evening what they thought. Some comments were: he was great; he was funny; it was nice to have someone that could be humorous without being raunchy; his talk fit in with our Chairman which was a message about change and how people don't typically like to change.
