"I was able to clearly identify and achieve my goals. . ."
​

"I wholeheartedly recommend Mark as a coach, because with him I was able to clearly identify and achieve my goals even in the face of intense pressure. I did not know what to expect from coaching, but having known Mark for many years before, I knew I could expect his utmost support and encouragement. As it so happens, Mark’s abilities as a coach far exceeded my already high expectations. His attentiveness to the tasks at hand, as well as his willingness to show gentle confidence in my abilities helped me to keep my focus and energy during a fraught time. Moreover, Mark is uniquely skilled at recognizing another’s greatest strengths, and he uses this insight to collaborate on and come up with a very clear and accessible plan of action. Having Mark as my coach helped me to identify what I do best, and to take that success and make it even more accessible.​"
