Mark Sincevich is the chief perspective officer
of his company, Leading with Focus. He works with organizations
to develop leaders with more focus and creativity. Mark does this
through a unique photography angle in his speaking programs and
writing. As a result of Mark’s programs, his customers gain
a fresh perspective, generate new ideas, sharpen the focus and
create more business.
Leading with Focus begins with great personal leadership. There
are three key components or legs like a solid tripod that support
Leading with Focus. The first leg is creativity, the second is
powerful communication and the third, or stabilizing leg, is life
balance. And all great tripods have a hook underneath the center
column. This is typically for a camera bag or a heavy weight,
so the tripod doesn't get blown over by a strong wind. Mark calls
this weight a Perspective Pad.
An organization or leader needs to have an idea, has to communicate
it effectively and needs a balanced life to see the idea implemented
and to enjoy the process. And when you keep a Perspective Pad,
you will further realize what your accomplishments mean to you
and your organization. Leading with Focus is also a self-perpetuating
cycle. The more space that is given to the life balance leg, the
greater the opportunity for creativity to emerge. This allows
the cycle to repeat itself and also strengthens your leadership
potential!
Mark usually has his Perspective Pad and a camera with him wherever
he goes, and he loves to speak about his experiences. This led
him to develop the Staash Perspective System (SPS). The SPS takes
its inspiration from photography and teaches that simplicity leads
to more powerful communication and leadership. Powerful communication
is the second leg of the Leading with Focus tripod. Mark is also
an active member of the National Speakers Association (NSA), the
founder of Staash Press, the Executive Director of the Digital
Photography Institute and a member of the American Society of
Media Photographers (ASMP).
Mark travels widely around the world and is comfortable working
with people and organizations from various cultures. He is also
the author of three books, including The Leadership Lens, is frequently
quoted in the media and his photography and articles have been
published all over the United States. In between assignments,
Mark can be found spending time with his family in the Washington,
DC area or writing in cafés with character.
Programs
INTERNAL FOCUS
• The Art of Seeing
learn how to generate new ideas for yourself and your organization

best ways are through new ideas. Everything you see around you
once started as an idea, but how can you come up with new ideas

is the first leg of the Leading with Focus tripod. The Art of
Seeing program blends photography metaphors with the creative
and innovative behaviors utilized by top organizations. In this
extremely interesting program you will learn the connection
between ideas and organizational survival. You will also understand
that the more you simplify a photograph or an idea, the more
power you bring to it. What if you took this concept of simplicity
and applied it to your organization? The results of having simple
ideas could transform your organization through new directions,
procedures and products! At the end of the program you will
learn how to become more creative and to see the world from
a different perspective.

great ideas but fail to act on them? Are you searching for a
deeper meaning for your organization and your life? The Perspective
Pad program is the hook under the center column of the Leading
with Focus tripod. All great tripods have a hook underneath
the center column for a camera bag or a heavy weight, so the
tripod doesn't get blown over by a strong wind. Also, this weight
helps further stabilize the tripod. Come learn simple and extremely
powerful planning techniques that can create lasting change

BALANCED FOCUS
• Perspective is Everything
the quest for work life balance
Are you being the most effective in your leadership or executive
role? Do you want more time to exercise and to eat healthy,
to build relationships and to understand your work and your
life better? In the quest for work life balance, you will learn
about getting and then maintaining a proper perspective. Photographers
have a tool called a perspective control lens to achieve a balanced
photograph. Having a balanced life is critical to seeing your
ideas implemented and for enjoying the process. The Perspective
is Everything program is the third and stabilizing leg of the
Leading with Focus tripod. When your life has stability, you
can achieve more in the form of new ideas and effective communication.
You will also understand the connection between your leadership
potential and the life balance journey. In this program, you
will learn how to focus your energy into the three key areas
of a balanced life, find constructive ways to reduce stress,
and begin achieving work/life balance right away!
EXTERNAL FOCUS
• Leading with Focus
connecting your time and energy to the things that matter
As a leader, executive or manager, are you being stretched
in too many different directions? How do you know where to invest
your time and energy on the things that matter the most? Today's
managers, senior executives and leaders are showing up burned
out, are too tired to come up with new ideas, and are not able
to communicate effectively. To be an effective leader, you must
be exercising great personal leadership. You will learn the
three key components, or legs like a solid tripod, which support
Leading with Focus. They are creativity, powerful communication
and life balance. All of these legs help you to perform at your
very best. Plus all great tripods have a hook underneath the
center column. You will also discover the importance of this
hook or Perspective Pad. When you lead with focus, you will
accomplish more of the right things and have a much more effective
platform or tripod to lead yourself and your organization!
• Powerful Communications
achieving resonance through solid content and effective
delivery
Do you know how to effectively communicate a great idea or
new initiative to your peers, employees or customers? Are you
at the top of your organization and still have a challenge being
understood or achieving resonance? Resonance means connecting
with as many people in your audience as possible in order to
achieve the changes you want. This could mean getting your project
approved or having a greater chance of getting the sale. Powerful
Communications is the second leg of the Leading with Focus tripod.
In this insightful program, you will learn about the Staash
Perspective System and key photography principles. Learn how
to apply these principles to create powerful messages and memorable
stories. Become inspired to create a culture of communications
excellence by understanding the importance of solid content,
