The 5 P’s to Success

The 5 P’s Presentation is powerful, punchy and practical. The duration of 45 to 60 minutes
is ideally suited to conference audiences. Mark humorously describes and demonstrates 5
key factors, which will help to ensure personal and organizational success. These are:

Presence – Being here, in the now. The untrained mind spends more than half it’s time
not with the body, shifting between the future and the past. The ability to be fully present
is a vital skill for attaining peak performance and productivity. We need to train our brain to
devote quality time, maintain focus and work smarter. The visible evidence of this
achievement is when we develop a strong, magnetic Presence.

Purpose – Each of us was born for a specific purpose, with unique talents that nobody
else has. We need to uncover and weave these talents into the fabric of our working life.
It is vital that we clarify our personal vision and articulate clear, balanced goals. We will
undoubtedly leave the world a better place through having lived and fulfilled our specific
Purpose.

Passion – Emotional intelligence is even more important that IQ in today’s world.
Passionate people are motivated, enthusiastic, full of energy and totally committed to
themselves and their career. What are you really passionate about? And what are you
doing about it? Most people live lives of quiet desperation. Make the choice today to
uncover, rekindle and enthusiastically live your Passion.

Positivity – Many of us today are suffering from information overload. We are constantly
bombarded with negativity. Our senses are assailed with bad news through the various
mass media, unproductive gossip and ever-increasing communications technology. We
must develop the skills of detachment, positive affirmations and disciplined contemplation
to remain positive. By using the 2 magic words “I Choose,” we avoid the futility of blame
and take back our power. Optimists make it a habit to always focus on the Positive.

Persistence – Most things don’t come easy. The road to success is often cluttered with
obstacles, detours, potholes and other demoralising setbacks. We need to put “failure”
into proper perspective because it is actually a vital stepping-stone to success. Our
society is hooked on instant gratification, “I want it all and I want it now!” To achieve
meaningful success, we need to develop mental toughness, courage, patience and
Persistence.
