Transforming Lives Through Leadership

On this episode of The Leadership Toolkit, Mike Phillips our host, sits down with the inspiring Mark J. Silverman — a man who overcame profound personal challenges to emerge as a beacon for leaders everywhere — he is transforming the lives of others through his leadership. He is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and introspective growth.

From generating over $90 million in sales during his tech career to coaching CEOs, senior leaders, and rising high achievers, Mark has spent the last decade helping others create sustainable success and amplify their impact.

Silverman’s approach disrupts conventional leadership paradigms— advocating for a balanced blend of personal evolution coupled with strategic influence. "Leading Up, Leading Across, Leading Your Team," as he denotes, is predicated on fostering trust, effective communication, and a relentless pursuit of personal and professional growth.

He’s the author of:
🔹The Rising Leader Handbook: Turning High Achievers Into Effective Leaders
🔹Only 10s 2.0: Confront Your To-Do List, Transform Your Life (with over 75,000 copies sold)

Mark also hosts The Rising Leader Podcast and is working on his third book to empower leaders to reach their full potential. This episode is filled with practical strategies, leadership insights, and real-world advice for anyone striving to lead effectively.
