I am very pleased with the response to the leadership training courses. As a result of Mark’s knowledge, experience and personal coaching style, the attendees rated both the content and the presenter very highly - several said it was the best course they had ever been on! His experience as a coach and mentor added real value as he encouraged and supported genuine development within the team
Hi Mark, I just wanted to say a quick thank you for my sessions today, they’ve been a huge help. I’m hoping in just this short time I’ve gained the skills to help elevate my confidence. So thank you so much.
Mark’s ability to deliver the course improved my outlook on leadership and management. The course gave me many pointers and I believe I am already starting to see the effects. I feel very privileged to have taken part in the course.
Mark delivered the course with great enthusiasm and was obvious that he is very passionate about empowering others to embrace their leadership skills and challenge themselves in their professional and personal lives. Mark made the course very enjoyable and has definitely inspired belief in me

If you are a product of the leadership thinking that was prevalent in the second half of the twentieth century, you will probably have been taught that a leader needs to keep some distance from their team. In other words, it’s lonely at the top.
Today we see loneliness in leadership as a personality flaw in the leader and not part of the job description. If it’s lonely at the top you are doing somethings wrong. And one of those things is almost certainly failing to engage in the leadership conversation with your team.

During the recent Arctic cold weather snap, I really appreciated the 4 wheel drive on my beloved Volvo. It may be getting long in the tooth but it handles the ice and snow with a sure-footed assurance – which I was especially grateful for this weekend as it meant all the band equipment arrived at Church on Sunday morning and number 1 daughter arrived safely back at University in Nottingham on Monday.

When the pressure is on and deadlines loom or disaster strikes, it can be very tempting to want to do something - anything - to start working on the solution as soon as possible. And, all things being equal, this is the right thing to do - we should have a bias to action.
Last week the news was full of the disruption caused by the WannaCry Ransomware which has hit over 300,000 computers in 150 countries (as of 20th May). Some have blamed Microsoft, others the NSA, still others the Government. They are all wrong.
There comes a point in any journey of personal growth and development where the next step we need or want to take suddenly feels way bigger than all the others taken so far. You might be embarking on your biggest ever project at work, preparing your first public speaking gig, creating your first presentation for work, starting a business or turning up to join a local sports team or theatre club for the first time. Whatever it is, it is something that is taking you out of your comfort zone.
You will unleash your full potential when you bring your own kind of awesome, rather than trying to copy someone else’s.
