Book Mark Schulman, Motivation & Inspiration Speaker

About This Speaker

Mark Schulman, CSP is the first-call drummer for the world’s greatest rock and pop artists including P!NK, Cher, Billy Idol, Foreigner, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, and Beyoncé, and one of the most sought-after keynote speakers on the planet. A classically trained cellist who got his start with the Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic, Mark was voted one of Modern Drummer readers’ “Top 3 Pop-Rock Drummers” and has performed on global stages including Glastonbury and Ozzfest.

Over three decades and four record-breaking world tours with P!NK, Mark has performed for more than a billion people. On stages where one mistake isn’t an “oops,” it’s a global broadcast. Mark didn’t just perform. He decoded what makes elite performance possible. The answer isn’t talent. It is attitude. And attitude, he discovered, is a system you can build. His two books, “Conquering Life’s Stage Fright” and “The Attitude Equation,” translate those discoveries into a blueprint for leaders and organizations: Attitude × Behavior = Consequence.

A cancer conqueror and passionate educator, Mark has delivered 1,500+ keynotes for organizations including American Express, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. He taught at the Los Angeles Music Academy, produced his own instructional DVD, and his signature snare drum is one of GRETSCH’s best-selling products.

He is the co-creator of the Everyday Rockstar® Performance System.

Mark's booking fee range is $20,000 - $50,000

Hacking the Rockstar Attitude

The rockstar attitude can be summed up in five words: There are no small moments. Every detail is critical. Everything you do matters. The world’s greatest pop and rock artists share that attitude – something drummer Mark Schulman learned first-hand after years of touring with acts like Cher, P!NK, Foreigner, Simple Minds, Stevie Nicks, and Billy Idol. Great performers in business are called rockstars, but true rockstars can teach the business world a lot about leadership, teamwork, resilience, engagement, and performing at the highest levels.

Mark’s ultra high-energy presentation is where music, video, audience interaction, and the secrets of rockstar performance collide. He inspires audiences to hack the rockstar attitude to discover the joy and success that comes when they’re fully engaged – on purpose. It’s as simple as ABC: Attitude.Behavior.Consequences. Mark shows how creating that attitude shift – and viewing what you’re doing everyday as a performance – will literally change your life.

Mark tailors his talk to meet every group’s individual needs. Sample takeaways:

• World class performance by rockstars is no accident; learn and apply their secrets.
• Techniques to immediately shift your attitude to achieve better outcomes.
• Bring rock ‘n’ roll confidence into your work and life.
• A simple pre-show exercise rockstars use to amp up performance and engagement.
• How to drive better performance in yourself and those around you.
