When the ABC aired its Agents of Influence story in 2023, Mark Kentwell was a central figure.
Marketed as an expose that lifted the veil of secrecy on the real estate industry, the program questioned the reputation Mark had built over more than 20 years, through a tireless work ethic and commitment to innovation and excellence.
In this episode of the Elevate podcast, hosted by Samantha McLean, Mark opens up about his “biggest test to date”, how he coped with the damage to both his personal and professional reputation and how he has come out the other side a stronger and better person.
He reveals the strategies he used to keep positive, including how focusing on his biology, psychology and his environment enabled him to handle the adversity in the best mental and physical shape possible.
Mark and Sam also discuss how he tackled the fallout from the controversy with clear communication with his team, the clients and competitors.
He also takes a deep dive into how he has moved into a new era, rebranding to Presence and focusing on building a business that is a destination for top talent to grow exceptional careers.
