Mark Pattison Speaker Biography
Mark Pattison is a former NFL wide receiver, elite mountaineer, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker whose life has been shaped by endurance beyond the spotlight. When his professional football career ended, he faced a challenge familiar to many high achievers: rebuilding identity and purpose after the applause fades.
Seeking direction, Mark turned to the mountains—ultimately becoming the first former NFL player to climb the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on each continent. His journey was later captured in an Emmy Award–winning documentary, chronicling perseverance in the face of uncertainty and extreme conditions.
Mark’s story has been featured by Sports Illustrated, NFL Films, and major media outlets worldwide. Today, he speaks to organizations, leaders, and teams about resilience, reinvention, leadership, and how to keep moving forward when the path ahead is unclear.
SEVEN SUMMITS OF SUCCESS
Most of us are in search of something greater — to find an elevated purpose in our work and in our lives. But, we may also lack the discipline or practical knowledge for how to set a course to find it.
Through his Seven Summits of Success presentations, Mark helps business leaders and their teams get off the sidelines, re-engage in life, and win by applying a proven set of principles, process, and tools which Mark has learned from the NFL, mountains and business.
