Frequently Asked Questions
If I were gonna hire me, this is what I'd want to know first.
- Why would you spend precious time with me when you could do so many other interesting things with your time? You're fed up with your professional prospects and no matter what you try, you get the same bullshit response...crickets. You've followed "the rules" and no one is coming. Right now you're "settling" and it's getting fucking old. Life feels like it's passing you by and it passes faster every day. You know there's more out there...but WTF?
- What makes you so special? Nothing. OK some stuff. I give a shit. I listen really well. I pay attention. I don't make assumptions and I don't speculate. I've been practicing helping people in a bind for 35 years. I've eperienced the attraction, introduction, interview, negotiation, hiring, retention, development, promotion and termination phases of the professional lifecycle more than almost anyone else in the world. I've also built and sold 2 multimillion dollar IT staffing firms
- What's the most unique aspect of your methodology? I take an unconventional approach to all the phases of the professional development lifecycle that's practical, pragmatic and simple. I break the rules
- What do you charge for your services? While I offer a few different levels of service depending on your needs and wants, everyone starts off with a 30 minute free consultation where we figure out what you need help with and then we figure out whether we're a good fit for one another. We both get to say yes or no. If we both say yes, then we design a custom program for you
- What is the overall structure of your programs? There are different combinations of one on one live time with me, sometimes small group interaction, workbooks, videos and audios. These programs take place from 1 month to 6 months. Timeframes vary based on your appetite for investment, speed and depth of immersion into the content
- What types of subtopics can we expect to be exposed to? Imagine anything that would help you reach a higher level of performance professionally (and likely impact your personal life positively as well). I've found that confidence is contagious. Things like;
- How to negotiate from a position of strength
- How to communicate to move people to action
- How to lead in the 21st century
- How to resolve ugly conflict
- How to enroll other people into your vision
- Active, empathetic listening skill development
- Interview skills that get you hired, not ghosted
- How to make other people feel confident and hopeful
- And so much more...
- What can I expect to experience if I apply myself and finish the program? You'll feel an increased confidence. Your limits will have expanded exponentially. You'll feel that almost anything is possible if you apply what I teach you consistently over time. The complex will begin to seem simple
- Who is this program NOT for? It's not for people who are not ready to be helped. It's not for people who are "content". It's not for "rule followers". It's not for people who seek to blame other people or other circumstances for their setbacks. It's not for people who give up at the first sign of difficulty
- Who is this program for? This program is for people who are fed up with bullshit "quick fixes". It's for people who recognize (or have finally figured out) that success takes work, but it's simple. It's for people who believe that success comes from small incremental consistent progress over time. It's for people who want to own their own shit
"Prior to engaging with Mark, I felt a sense of uncertainty about my life's direction and success. I struggled to put my visions into words and give them a definition.
Mark's intuitive approach challenged me to reevaluate my mindset, and he asked those profound, uncomfortable questions that sparked crucial introspection.
His steadfast guidance has not only helped me gain clarity about my true aspirations, but he has also equipped me with the necessary strategies to achieve them.
Today, I feel confident and invigorated, eager to continue iteration on my redefined path to happiness and success.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mark's coaching and mentorship to anyone seeking meaningful personal and professional growth"
