About Mark Swain

My passion has always been in living life to the fullest-and empowering others to do the same! I have been called a Renaissance man/polymath because of my many and varied interests. I've spent the past 30 years working as a life/career coach, professional speaker, and workshop facilitator. I have authored over 20 professional development programs, two books, numerous articles, and many customized speeches on a wide variety of subjects. I have been recruited by major companies (Day-Timer, Shipley Associates, Franklin Covey, Lee Hecht Harrison, etc.) to teach their courses, develop new courses, and provide coaching services. I am a Past President of the Utah Chapter of the National Speakers Association. I have taught at, and presented for, major universities (Clemson University, George Mason University, University of Utah, etc.) on various subjects including: abundant living, writing, creativity, communication, career planning, art, and astronomy.
