| 2003 has seen the publication
of his fourth book BACK
OFF BULLY. While Mark uses teenage
examples, he's found that the techniques outlined
in the book can be translated to a variety
of environments - from the schoolyard to the
workplace. To supplement BACK
OFF BULLY, Mark has developed a number
of presentations on Bullying. |

Mark also has a number of sessions designed for
parents:
- How to get through to your teenager.
- Parenting Confident Kids.
- How to parent in the 5 minutes you see you kids.
- Understanding your teenager.
- How to create quality time when you have no
time.
- Parenting During Exams.
- Your kids - What's normal. When to worry. What
to do
In addition to his unique lifestyle, he has been
shot at in a tribal war, has leapt from a sinking
raft in a hurricane, has done stand-up comedy
in New York City and holds the record with his
team mates as the fastest junior kayak team over
250km. He is now an international speaker and
sports coach to AFL athletes.

"Mark has presented this 'Boys to Men' talk to a number of student groups for me over the years and never fails to engage the boys and get the messages across, while keeping them amused and entertained...
"Students were very positive about Mark's presentation both in terms of the actual content/messages and entertainment factor. Staff also really enjoyed the presentation and were impressed with the underlying information/messages to the students re 'Being a Man'."
-Debbie Sojka, Glen Waverley Secondary College.
"Please clone Dobbo
so that we could each take one home."
- Craig Moore, University of Ballarat
"I came here as a
chance to escape work and the pressure of having
to study. Yet you have practically changed my
life. From everything I learnt from you I am going
in so many new directions. I used to use excuses
to excuse a lot of my behaviour but now I feel
more responsible for me and it has empowered me.
Given the chance, I would tell everyone at school
to come on this program."
- Sarah, Year 12, Camp Aspire Participant
"Energetic, inspirational
and empowering. He is an outstanding resource
for group activities with adolescents, has excellent
communication skills both with young people and
adults and as an extensive knowledge
of leadership."
- Danielle Forer, Social Worker, Centre for
Adolescent Health
"Mark provided our
staff with some great ideas and strategies for
dealing with young people. Judging by the number
of staff who wanted to talk to him after the session,
all staff were very happy with the session."
- Ross Digby, Holmesglen Institute of TAFE.
