It’s pretty simple what Mark Mayfield does:

he talks about very serious stuff in a very funny way. 

He has one of the most diverse backgrounds in the speaking industry having owned and operated several businesses ranging from livestock production to golf instruction, and spent ten years as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C.  

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

He is the author of several self-help books and two jokebooks, and makes presentations to all types of corporations, conventions, and trade associations.  He was raised on a farm, received two degrees magna cum laude from Kansas State University, and taught school before he began his lobbying, comedy, and speaking career.   He has received the CSP designation from the National Speakers Association and been inducted into their Hall of Fame.

His speaker emphasis is on mental health augmented by his latest book,

“I’m Not Okay, You’re Not Okay, And That’s Okay”.  In addition, he also make presentations on change, customer service, and teamwork, and performs after-dinner comedy shows.  He is the proud father of two daughters and is also the most annoying Grandpa on the planet.
