About Ric Marks
Founder of Ultimate Marks | Author of The Leadership Legacy | Leadership Partner & Speaker
🤝 Leadership Reimagined
I'm Ric Marks — a lifelong student of people, partnership, and purpose-driven leadership. After two decades in leadership roles across the education, NDIS, and not-for-profit sectors, I realised something most leadership models overlook: real influence doesn’t come from authority — it comes from trust. That insight led to the creation of Ultimate Marks — a platform dedicated to helping leaders build legacies, not just meet KPIs.
✍️ Author. Coach. Culture-Builder.
I’m the author of The Leadership Legacy, a practical guide for leaders who want to move beyond transactional leadership and create a culture that lasts.
Through my workshops, courses, and coaching, I help leaders break free from outdated management models and embrace a partnered approach — one grounded in:
-
Authentic communication
-
Empowered teams
-
Long-term trust
-
Measurable impact
Whether you’re a first-time team leader or a seasoned executive, I’ll help you turn your leadership into a legacy worth leaving.
💬 My Philosophy in 3 Words:
Influence. Trust. Legacy.
I don’t believe in tricks, gimmicks, or command-and-control systems. I believe in authentic leadership — leading with clarity, modelling what you expect, and walking alongside others to co-create success.
