I use coaching and leadership development to help small to mid-sized companies improve their leadership performance, increase their profits, and enhance their productivity.

I help leaders to:

  • Enhance their abilities in managing others
  • Discover their strengths and weaknesses, and to act on them
  • Increase the loyalty of their employees who receive coaching
  • Learn to embrace, not resist change
  • Align their leadership goals with organizational goals
  • Discover specific ways to maximize their abilities

In Organizations, Performance = Potential – Resistance

The solution to resistance is to focus on the strengths within your organization, while identifying and acting on the resistance. This is what leadership is all about. It’s not just about identifying problems, it’s about making things better. I have been making things better at organizations for over ten years by improving leadership and coaching skills. My highly acclaimed speaking and training presentations have helped thousands of people to perform better.

Let me work with the leaders in your organization to increase productivity with these programs:

Programs and Speaking:

“The Three Secrets of Leadership Success—Now!” Keynote Address
Give your management staff or entire organization a hands-on experience learning  leadership skills, with practical exercises to immediately impact the participants. This is a great way to kick-start an improved leadership program in your organization or team.

Leadership One Day or Half Day Workshops
Give your management team a one day immersion into enhancing their leadership abilities—how to be more emotionally intelligent, how to enhance their strengths, and how to implement immediate changes in their management style to increase their effectiveness. For 8-16 participants at professional, management, or management-in-waiting levels.

Executive Coaching
Become the kind of leader that others want to work for. Successful leadership depends on the successful management of emotions, and the ability to inspire others. Transform your leadership style through one-on-one coaching to quickly and powerfully implement emotional intelligence and leadership skills. Take the EQ Map emotional intelligence test, and find the areas where coaching can have the most impact.

Leadership Development using the Survey/360 Assessment
Self-knowledge is the single most important factor in the practice of leadership” (Center for Creative Leadership, 2005). Show your colleagues what leadership is all about. Start your coaching program by using the Survey/360 assessment, allowing you to assess your leadership competencies. Compare your own assessment of your leadership style with those of your colleagues. This creates the basis for a coaching alliance with your coach, and gives specific areas for targeted improvement.

Here’s what others have said about Mark:

“At the Chamber, we asked Mark to come in and give some of our small business owners and entrepreneurs an hour and a half education/training focused on improving their bottom line through leadership and coaching, and he did just that.  Not only was Mark’s presentation backed by research, he came with 15 years of real-world illustrations and anecdotes to reinforce his message.  The “feed-forward” concept he showed us can be applied immediately by anyone looking to improve their leadership skills and become a more positive influence within an organization. He was fantastic!”

- Bruce Nustad,
Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce
