Mark Noon, USAF (Ret.)

Mark Noon excelled in military and civilian healthcare leadership for more than 25 years. He is an author, actor, speaker, and executive coach. Spending his early military days as an enlisted lab tech, Noon received a commission as an officer and an immediate promotion to a lab management role. As is true with many promotions, he entered this new role lacking the skills and training needed to lead others. That experience shaped Noon’s career-long commitment to developing skilled leaders in all industries. His expertise includes employee engagement, leader development, succession and strategic planning, inspirational and motivational speaking, teamwork, change leadership, creating value and leading by values, and bridging generational gaps in all organizations & levels.

Noon served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 12 years as an officer, retiring as a Major. Nine assignments, seven states, and a tour of duty in the Middle East created experiences few in leadership ever acquire. During that time, Noon was a key leader in a cultural and leadership transformation within the AF medical community. Following his military retirement, he brought his operational and service excellence expertise to Studer Group and now to Leadership10. He is an expert at conveying the value connection— driving results by teaching leaders to cultivate value in the people they manage. He has taught the highest level of both civilian and military leaders about improving customer experience, self-leadership, values, and culture. He has coached and spoken in more than 320 organizations in 43 states and four countries. Known for his energetic, affable presentation style, Noon easily connects with diverse audiences in all businesses by creating a positive environment where people are ready to learn.

When he’s not traveling the country speaking to organizations and leaders, Noon lives in a small beach community near Destin, Florida, with his wife. He has four grown children, two of whom are married, two grandchildren, and dogs.
