Mark coaches and trains. He coaches to move mindset. He trains to embed new skills. He’s at his best when jumping between the two; he loves coaching clients to find the perfect training for them, and training clients to open up profound coaching experiences.
His specialist areas include communication, negotiation, building strategy, KPls and OKRs, project management, diversity and inclusion, interview technique, recruitment, presentation skills, sales, feedback, performance management, and career conversations, across a range of sectors. Mark grew up German-English bilingual. He’s been translating across the two sides of his family and bridging the gaps in effective communication from the very start. Training as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, gave him a deep technical and emotional understanding of voice, speech, and language. Alongside his acting work, Mark forged a career as a role-player, coach, facilitator, and course designer, in a range of corporate learning and development programs. He’s enjoyed work with Unilever, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, AstraZeneca, Google, and many, many others.
He has been Head Coach at London Speech Workshop since 2023. Mark also has a wealth of experience working inside SME and start-up environments. He was Managing Director of BLOK, an omni-channel health and fitness start-up with over 200 staff and global customer reach. So he knows how to succeed from the inside too. In his 4 years there he increased GP margin from 40% to 60%, footfall by 203%, average class capacity from 25% to 72%, and launched the digital product, BLOKtv in a pandemic pivot, which acquired 35k users in 134 countries within 6 months.
