From exploration and education to insightful conversation.

 

Held in the heart of the incredible InterContinental Hayman Island Resort, Ideas Exchange (IDEX) 4.0 themed 'Making Waves' seamlessly blended professional growth with personal well-being. The bespoke leadership experience, hosted by FCM Meetings & Events, went beyond the conventional norms of corporate gatherings. The focus was on expanding guests' networks and nurturing the individuals behind the titles.

The FCM M&E team aimed to convey a crucial message: professional success is intertwined with personal development and wellness. So, as guests stepped onto the pristine shores of Hayman Island, the backdrop of tranquility and serenity synced with the essential element of the event, which was to inspire reflection, relaxation and fun.

Over the three-day experience in September, FCM M&E leaders and hosts of the event Simone Seiler and Katie Fraser navigated insightful industry talks, complemented by wellness sessions and a transformative workshop by Australian big wave surfer, author, keynote speaker, and mindset coach Mark Visser.

Intertwining personal & professional development and growth

Mark brought a wealth of experience and insight, guiding guests through an immersive journey of self-discovery and growth. Acknowledging the challenges professionals face in the current landscape, the workshop set out to equip guests with tools for personal resilience and well-being. It allowed guests to delve into the interconnectedness of personal and professional life, emphasising the significance of balance and mindfulness.

"The workshop started with a one-hour keynote which talks about my backstory of wanting to achieve a world-first program, and I was told it couldn't be done," Mark said.

"From there, I spoke about developing a strong sense of inner worth and having the courage to back yourself when others say what you're talking about is ludicrous.

"We also dived into the importance of realising that an individual can only go so far, while working with a team can allow you to reach greater heights."

"Sometimes, when we talk about mindfulness, it's considered wishy-washy and has become a bit of a buzzword. But I've been a part of it for 21 years, and it's about understanding how we can be the best version of ourselves with the right tools.”

Becoming the best version of yourself

Mark's workshop at IDEX provided a hands-on exploration of practical strategies for fostering personal development. His approach transcended the traditional corporate workshop, creating an intimate space for vulnerability and growth.

Mark, who is also the founder of The Ocean Warrior and the 2014/15 Big Wave paddle-in champion, made history by surfing one of the world's biggest waves at Jaws (Pe'ahi), Maui, in total darkness.

Working as a personal coach for world champion Kelly Slater, Australian SAS, US Navy Seals, Olympic athletes, and business professionals, Mark specialises in emotional intelligence and helping individuals connect to their ultimate self.

"As individuals, we tend to ignore pressing situations only to find out they come back louder and stronger if we don't address them. When we do, it helps drive massive growth and a solid sense of stabilisation and confidence within to become the best version of yourself, and learning to become the ultimate version of who you are," Mark said.
