Mark Mayfield

Mark Mayfield grew up on a farm in Kansas, earned two degrees magna cum laude from Kansas State University, served as national president of the Future Farmers of America, taught school, worked as a lobbyist, and owned a nightclub before discovering that what he did better than almost anyone was make people laugh while actually teaching them something. He has been doing that professionally ever since.

The Corporate Comedian With Real Content

Mayfield’s keynotes cover communication, customer service, change management, and balanced living in a format that meeting planners describe as laugh-out-loud funny in a way that is clean and memorable. His presentations are not motivational speeches with jokes inserted. They are content-driven programs where humor is the delivery system for ideas that audiences retain because they experienced them rather than just heard them.

Shared the Stage, Earned the Credential

Mayfield has shared the stage with Paul Newman, Peter Frampton, Colin Powell, and other headliners, and has been recognized by major meeting planning organizations as one of the most consistently effective convention speakers working today. His farming background, academic credentials, and varied career give him material and perspective that most corporate humorists cannot match.

Mark Mayfield keynotes are booked for events focused on communication, managing change, customer service, balanced living, and delivering serious organizational messages in a format that is genuinely entertaining and built to be remembered.
