Mark worked very closely with me in my capacity as CEO of Q Holding, and subsequently as President and COO of Cirtec Medical providing executive coaching to members of my team. Mark engagement and approach were incredibly well received by all executives, resulting in all cases in tangible improvements not only for the individual, but for the whole organization. Mark also provided team development support, which also was very well received and provided meaningful benefits to all involved.

Mark was a valuable extension of our organization and always saw him as part of the team!

Mark acted as an executive coach for myself and our senior management team. He was a valuable resource to me personally. While we covered topics the company wanted all of their senior management be aligned on, I could discuss situations I was facing to get an alternative perspective as to how I planned to act.

He is good at holding you accountable and ensuring that you’re being honest with yourself about your motivations when making decisions. There are no easy passes, just honesty (and a lot of questions!).

I enjoyed working with Mark and I highly recommend him.

I engaged Mark to conduct a full day of training at our annual HR meeting. The topics were ‘Conducting an Investigation’ and ‘Reasonable Suspicion’. Mark was wonderful to work with and did a great job facilitating the sessions. While developing the materials for the training, Mark was professional, available according to my schedule, met deadlines and responsive to my goals for the program. The materials were clear, concise and presented professionally. His facilitation skills were excellent. This was an all-day event and he kept the audience engaged and participating. Everyone walked away with new knowledge and new skills. I highly recommend Mark. He has a strong knowledge of HR, understands the training process and the importance of interactive sessions. We will be considering Mark for other projects in the near future.
