Mark’s Topics
Leadership is a critical driver of business success, yet it’s not easy—at its core, leadership is about getting work done through others, making decisions, and building human connections. Because people are complex, leadership can be messy, and it requires individuals who are willing to learn, work hard, and earn trust. True leadership starts with leading oneself, and most leaders’ development is stuck at the “inner game” level, requiring introspection and vulnerability. Colonel (Retired) Mark Gasparotto, a decorated 20-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, uses his experience and educational background in leadership to guide TEC members through a deep exploration of their leadership identity, consciousness, and actions. Through interactive techniques and leadership models, Gasparotto helps leaders unlock their potential, build stronger teams, and drive business performance by mastering their inner game.
