Overview
After a senior leadership career spanning the public and private sectors, Mark coaches people who are focused on career progression and performance improvement in the workplace.
He brings over two decades of experience operating at board, executive and senior management levels, alongside extensive work designing and delivering learning and development solutions across a wide range of industries.

As a master’s-level, ILM Level 7 qualified executive coach, he works with leaders and managers at all levels, supporting them to improve performance, capability and impact.
Mark views coaching as a purposeful, reflective and developmental partnership that enables clients to think more clearly, lead more effectively and act with greater confidence. His approach blends challenge with support, creating a psychologically safe space in which clients can explore their thinking, test assumptions and develop insight into their leadership style, behaviour and impact.
Drawing on his deep understanding of leadership, emotional intelligence and organisational dynamics, Mark helps clients understand what drives them, what may be holding them back, and how they can create sustainable change in complex environments. His style is pragmatic, grounded and outcomes-focused, while remaining highly relational and human.
He uses a wide range of evidence-based tools and models when appropriate, including leadership frameworks, emotional intelligence diagnostics, influence and persuasion principles, and change models, always in service of insight, action and real-world application.
