You know when you feel you’re not quite on the same page as everyone else? I get it.
At a national charity I blew a move into senior leadership, instead supporting a colleague who’d been badly treated. In an ambitious startup, I’d made a ton of money when I learned the boss was swindling customers – I couldn’t stay, never mind that I was getting paid to travel the world and play with fascinating tech. As a soldier I won awards and gave humanitarian assistance, but the ‘camaraderie’ conflicted with my values and so I’ve left that world behind. I rarely knew what I’d do next, only that integrity mattered more than fitting in. I wish I’d had a coach. So now, I am one – for those who want to look before they leap.
When norms and expectations stand in your way, I’m here.
Most of all, I give you a safe space.
Because I want the best for those who feel out of step! My coaching isn’t bound to a particular framework, though I’ve learned a good few and make use of what’s appropriate. You don’t just flow through a process with me, you get my undivided attention along a journey as unique as you are. We establish where you are and want to be, looking at the past only in so far as it brings insight. Together we’ll catch unhelpful ways of thinking while unravelling the options that are in front of you. As we do that, what you want might well evolve – which we’ll embrace.
Coaching with me leaves you galvanised, finds your joy and gets you moving, free to change direction as you uncover what matters. To be seen, and heard, and to be nurtured – that’s what I offer. With trust and encouragement as the bedrock, my coaching is a partnership that builds a brighter path.
Each journey is different, so how will yours look?
Perhaps a quick push to find a little clarity, or an adventure where I help you go the distance.
With me there’s coaching from the very off, so you feel the difference from our first chat!
When I rocked a cocktail bar in my twenties, I was told I had something precious – that every merry maker felt they had all my attention while I served them. That’s how I coach. I’m there, just for you. I can sit with whatever’s going on, and distil it right down to what’s needed for you.
I get to the heart of an issue, positively, and help move things forward. I’ve nurtured hopes and dreams across nearly three decades of a very varied career. Early working with the Foreign Office rubbed off on me – I’ve been described as diplomatic, inquisitive, and determined. I’ve given emergency aid in conflict zones, made personal gifts in my own small business, and led multi-million pound teams in global consultancies. The job descriptions didn’t matter as much as the people.
I’ve supported colleagues facing mental health issues, helped loved ones feeling suicidal, and turned frustration into new beginnings. For myself, too – I battled severe depression when my marriage ended, and sought a richer, more meaningful time thereafter. Those difficulties made me much more present – clients appreciate that I’m calm, constructive and considered. Improving lives is my jam.
You’ll be seen, and heard, with me.
Together we’ll get you where you want to be.
“Mark’s presence makes me feel welcome and calm, he knows when to push me and when I need a little time.
The work we’ve done together has made me confident, focused and energised. I now come to Mark with a positivity and glow!”
“Mark has been fantastic in helping me with my confidence issues and guiding me to find out who I am and what I want.
I felt very lost and unsure of myself but I now feel like I’m on the right track!”
“Mark is a trusted partner to share difficulties with and he gently, doggedly moved me away from paralysis.
I’ve taken action, got momentum again and I’m moving forward.”
