Empowering you to See More, Fear Less, & Live Life With Intentional Happiness
Too many of us live life oblivious to what is happening around us. Too many of us live in FEAR or are controlled by it. And too many of us are anything but truly happy in our lives. However, it does not need to be this way.
About Mark
Born in 1971 and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Mark Fabian is the eldest of three children who grew up in a home shadowed by severe physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. From an early age, daily life was marked by fear-at home and at school, where bullying compounded the challenges of childhood. This continuous threat environment shaped Mark deeply. As a survival mechanism, he honed an extraordinary ability to read people’s non-verbal cues, tuning his Limbic Brain to anticipate danger before it arrived.
Despite this constant backdrop of fear, a pivotal moment arrived when Mark made a deliberate choice: to stop outsourcing his happiness and success to external circumstances and others' control. This conscious decision transformed his path, fueling a lifelong commitment to mastering fear, reclaiming personal power, and developing resilience.
Mark spent over a decade serving his community in EMS and firefighting in Pennsylvania, graduated from the Allentown Law Enforcement Academy, and honorably served in both the United States Air Force and the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. He is a nationally certified Situational Awareness for Everyone (S.A.F.E.) Instructor, a nationally recognized expert in Managing FEAR, and a Certified Neuroscience Coach.
The blend of his lived experience, formal training, and innate skill in reading people has made Mark a compelling communicator and educator, passionate about empowering others to overcome fear and navigate life’s uncertainties.
When not inspiring audiences or working, Mark enjoys quiet moments at home with his wife and their
four dogs.
It is the combination of his life experience, his training, and natural ability to read people that make Mark an extremely effective communicator and educator.
I have had the pleasure of participating in a group study where Mark served as co-facilitator. He kept the group focused on key learning objectives, assuring that all had a safe and secure space to engage, share, and reflect on what was being taught.
Mark comes well prepared, confident, and open to lively debate and discussion.

Mark's Talks
The Disruption of BANG
What is the Disruption of BANG?
It is the act of interrupting the attack profile. For nearly all recorded time, all emergency services have been provided as a reaction to some event “BANG” that created the need for a response (this is called “Right of BANG”). It is time that we create a paradigm shift, time that we become preemptive in dealing with tragic events.
Using Location Specific Physical Security Improvements & Behavioral Analysis Techniques, we can vastly improve our Threat Mitigation & Detection Capabilities, allowing us to work on getting “Left of BANG”.

Knowing & Managing FEAR
As children, many of us were afraid of___________.
❖ The Dark
❖ Spiders
❖ Dogs
❖ Insects
❖ Loud Noises
The list could go on and on.
We feared these things and more even though in most cases, none of these things ever truly caused us any harm. And over time, the things we were afraid of either abated, grew, or were added to. Those that were new or grew, gained power over us.
The concept of “NO FEAR” actually does not exist. It was a great company and marketing slogan, but it is not reality. EVERYONE FEELS FEAR – EVERYONE!!!
The difference between people when it comes to fear is how we deal with it. Some have allowed it to control them and worse yet, some have been taught or conditioned to allow FEAR to control them. And yet others have learned to harness FEAR so that it can inspire or empower them.
“Accept it, face it, and fight it by learning to use it both as a signal and fuel” (Coach Tony Blauer)
Living Life with Intentional Happiness
Ask yourself, are you genuinely happy in your life? And do you see the real value of who you are?
So many of us just go through the motions, day in and day out. You know, pretending to be happy and "Part of the group". All too often never seeing our own value as we try to fit in just enough to not draw any unwanted attention.
❖ At school
❖ At work
❖ At church
❖ With family
This list could go on and on.
Day to day, how many of us are genuinely happy? Or how many of us actually feel lonely while in a crowd? Well, the simple truth is that happiness is a conscious choice that we must make daily.
The HARD truth is that our world, society, social media, and even our families can teach us the exact opposite. However, not only do you deserve to be happy in being you, your happiness and value ARE NOT dependent on anyone or anything else. Your happiness and value begin and end with ONLY YOU. Because you are the one in control of how you respond to the things that happen to you and around you.
Good and bad things will happen to ALL of us. What truly matters is how you choose to respond to those things. You CANNOT control anyone or anything else except for you.
Now it is time to understand the truth of this so that you can be the one to determine your happiness and value. Not some outside influence that you cannot control.
