On Stage
Speaking That Cuts Through
Raw, real, and without a script. Mark speaks from lived experience — the kind that cuts through walls and opens conversations that have been locked for years.
Mark Walsham
Speaking from lived experience — drink driving, prison, addiction, recovery
What Mark Speaks On
Speaking Topics
Every session is shaped around the room it's being delivered to. These are the threads Mark pulls on most.
02
Men's Mental Health
Why men suffer in silence — and what happens when they finally don't. Mark dismantles the walls we build and shows a path through that doesn't require losing everything first.
03
From Prison to Purpose
Incarceration, shame, and the slow, hard work of becoming someone you're proud of. A story of radical accountability that resonates far beyond the prison walls.
04
Addiction & Resilience
The science, the reality, and the recovery. What addiction actually looks like from the inside — and the decision points that change everything. Honest, unsettling, hopeful.
05
School Programs
Age-appropriate, powerful presentations for secondary students covering drink driving, mental health, peer pressure, and the real-world consequences of split-second decisions.
06
Workplace Presentations
Keynotes (45–60 min) and half-day workshops for businesses, trades, corporates, mining and construction, and community organisations. Mental health awareness, practical resilience tools, and psychological safety — woven into one honest conversation.
07
Sporting Club Presentations
Tailored sessions for junior and senior clubs across all codes — including the Ovens & Murray region. Breaking down the mask of toughness and building club cultures where men and boys can speak up and support each other.
