I Help High-Achieving Men Rebuild Confidence and Reclaim Their Influence
If you're a successful professional who's lost your confidence after a divorce, career setback, or personal crisis, you're in the right place. I specialize in accountability-based coaching for capable men who know they're meant for more but feel stuck.
You've had success before. You know you're capable. But right now you're operating at half speed and you can't figure out why.
I don't do cheerleading or surface-level advice. I help men who are ready to reflect honestly, take responsibility, and do the daily work to get their edge back.
You know It’s there. You had it a moment ago.
The question is, how do you get it back? How do you rebuild your confidence and regain your influence?
Mark Aylward | Founder
Here's where I come in...
The first step is taking the emotion out of the equation. Move through the grief.
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
OK, if that journey is behind you (Or you can at least see acceptance on the horizon). Let’s talk.
Stop asking yourself why this happened to you. It doesn’t matter.
That’s just wasting your time and delaying your return.
My R.E.A.L Framework
R.E.A.L. stands for Reflect, Evaluate, Activate, Lead. It's how I help men move from stuck to forward momentum.
Reflect: Get honest about where you are and what you actually want (not what you think you should want)
Evaluate: Identify what's working and what's holding you back. No bullshit, no excuses.
Activate: Take concrete daily action instead of spinning your wheels thinking about it.
Lead: Step back into your power and influence. Stop waiting for permission.
This isn't theory. It's built from 30 years of coaching and my own experience rebuilding after a nine-year custody battle, divorce, and loss of identity.
What They're Saying About Mark Aylward
And His R.E.A.L Framework...
"Working with Mark was a transformative experience. On paper I looked fine. I felt stuck. Mark helped me choose a direction and take a first step. He named what actually mattered in that season of my life"
“I wholeheartedly recommend Mark's coaching and mentorship to anyone seeking meaningful personal and professional growth”
Knowing and working side by side with Mark for several years, I had the pleasure of experiencing his integrity, candor, intelligence and outstanding character. He is an extremely talented trainer/mentor and positively impacts all that he touches.
"If leaders are made and not born, then Mark has been responsible for the growth and development of countless leaders over the course of his career. I owe so much of my professional and personal development to Mark that it would be impossible to sum up in the context of this short paragraph"
"I also feel like your advice goes beyond just career. Your experience as a single parent makes you value the whole human experience in a much different way than most men"
"Mark is always one of the first calls I make when I am working through a big life decision. From career changes to moves to long-term goals, Mark always helps me to sort through the variables and confusion, and focus in on what I should prioritize in the decision. There are very few big decisions I make without getting his perspective and counseling first."
"He is a calming voice of reason, and his years of experience are a huge resource no matter the situation I am working through. I truly feel like Mark sees me as a whole person, and not just a resume, and it is clear in the advice he gives and the compassion he provides
"You’re also very direct and practical. You don’t use flowery sayings, you always push me to do something real and tangible. I walk away with next steps and feel challenged; it’s not just an empty ego boost"
"A leader and a motivator, Mark demonstrates outstanding management skills through his in-depth knowledge of business and his innate understanding of people."
You're In The Right Place If...
You've succeeded more than you could ever have imagined, but something is missing.
On the outside people see a shiny successful man. On the inside...empty and tired.
You feel one step away from being "outed" as a fraud.
You've been in first gear for too long.
You’re tired of well-meaning advice like, "shake it off" and "you'll be fine".
You’re ready to commit your time, money, and presence to getting your mojo back.
If you don't know what you want to do, or you know what you want, but you just can't seem to figure out how to get it...that makes you a human being...NOT a failure.
Stop beating the shit out of yourself. You just need to get out of your own way.
That's what I help men do...
Who I Work With
I Help Men Who Are Ready to Be Helped
I work with capable men who've had success but feel like they've lost their edge.
Maybe you went through a divorce. Maybe you got passed over for a promotion.
Maybe you built something and lost it. Maybe you just woke up one day and realized you're not the man you used to be.
You're still capable. You just need someone who won't bullshit you and will hold you accountable while you figure out what's next.
I don't work with everyone. I work with men who are ready to reflect honestly, take responsibility, and do the daily work. If you're looking for someone to validate your excuses, I'm not your guy.
What You Get Working With Me
Get clarity about your options. There are more than you think. We cut through the noise and figure out what you actually want, not what you think you should want.
Rebuild your confidence. Simple, practical tools to restore your self-belief. Some you've likely never heard of. No corporate coaching bullshit.
Develop new skills to regain your influence. Learn how to get out of your own way and lead with certainty again.
Create a plan you can actually execute. No more spinning. We build a roadmap with concrete daily actions that move you forward.
What My Clients Get
Men who work with me typically see results in three areas:
Clarity on what they actually want. Not what they think they should want. Not what their ex-wife wants or what society expects. What they actually want.
Restored confidence in their decision-making and leadership. The ability to make calls without constant second-guessing or analysis paralysis.
A plan they can execute without spinning. Concrete daily actions that build momentum instead of more thinking about thinking.
This isn't cheerleading. It's accountability-based coaching for men ready to do the work.
"We are more fulfilled when we are involved in
something bigger than ourselves."
