Hello, I’m Mark and I’ve been coaching since November 2016. Since then, I have worked with over 700 people from CEOs to early career starters, prisoners to refugees. If you want to know more about me keep on reading, but if you are more interested in what coaching is and if it is right for you then click here.
I started my career as an actor which I did for seven years before I became unfulfilled and embarked on a career development programme with the National Theatre. The programme led me to a career in theatre producing and I worked on over 20 productions from drama to opera, and theatre festivals. After a couple of fortuitous turns, I found myself working in the arts within criminal justice and eventually onto charity management. I was Head of Operations at Only Connect before joining the team at Spark Inside as Managing Director.
Spark Inside runs a life coaching programme in prisons and whilst there I worked with a coach and started training as a coach myself. At this point I made a big decision - I quit my job and set up my own coach practice.
Through being coached myself and through coaching others I have seen the power it has to create lasting change in peoples’ lives. I now have over 2300 hours coaching experience and alongside my private clients, I work as an associate coach for several charities and businesses.
