Testimonials:

At all times I felt listened to and understood. You could identify and make connections between all the things that I said, showing how carefully you were listening to me and interpreting what I had to say.

The coaching session has made me look at myself as more of a proactive person. I now realise that I have much more confidence to be able to ask questions, make points and express my feelings than I believed. Whereas before, I think I relied, in my mind, on someone with more experience or leadership to solve or consider a problem, I now feel like I have a voice and can help myself and others.

You were able to connect with me instantly which led to an immediately trusting and effective coaching relationship – this is a real strength of your coaching, Mark.

The coaching has supported me to become a more reflective leader, to evaluate my approaches and to make changes along the way. It has really supported me in my role which I feel has improved my professional practice. Not only has this coaching experience supported my own professional development but I have also shared ideas with close colleagues along the journey.

Mark made me feel empowered and helped me to change the way I looked at the problems or issues I came to the sessions with. He used a range of techniques that made me see things in a whole new light which actually felt really exciting, especially because some of the areas I was coached on had been ongoing problems for me for a number of years. 

Mark is an astute, supportive and relatable coach. He has given me the necessary insights into my practice to recognise and be proud of my strengths and areas for development. Not only has this inspired my work as an individual and as professional, but to take a Level 5 course in Coaching and Mentoring in Leadership. I highly recommend Mark to any leader (or aspiring leader) looking to further their practice. 

I have definitely developed an improved confidence and perspective when dealing with particularly challenging situations. My confidence as a leader has stepped up another level!  

Mark listens, observes, questions and probes conversations so that you are valued, supported and challenged to improve. He provides a wealth of experience and insight into the sessions which leaves you with perspectives and thought that were not previously considered. My practice as a Head teacher is better thanks to Mark’s coaching.  

Mark was able to show me that I had all of the answers to any problems that arose. The coaching has changed my mindset when approaching difficult situations and has empowered me to trust my own solutions and to have confidence when giving things a go. 

While Mark has a wealth of experience to draw from, his real skill as a coach is gently helping you to discover that you have all the answers and making each session a thoroughly enjoyable and valuable experience. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough as a coach.
