Here’s a few random testimonials from my 1-1 coaching, workshops etc. No arms were twisted in the production of this page! Feel free to browse and see if you can identify with any of these individuals:
“I worked with Mark during a time of huge personal transition. He gave me invaluable insight into myself, which has had a direct impact on the course of the last 6 months of my life. The coaching sessions I had with him prompted me to take action in the direction of the career and life I really want, rather than doing what I think I 'should' be doing to please other people or fit in.
He also got me thinking very differently about the options available to me, which opened doors both in my mind and externally in the world. Mark has outstanding interpersonal skills, which really helped me be at ease and take risks to be completely honest in our sessions. I highly recommend him and his service.” - Elloa
“Mark was a great coach. He made me come up with the right questions myself and encouraged me to find my own answers. I had a very useful series of meetings and conversations on the phone with Mark. I came out more focused on my business and what I wanted to do to make good progress with it." - Nadjib
“Mark is a passionate and enthusiastic local Career Coach who loves to help the City's job seekers. Mark helps supply and write useful and insightful blogs for BrightonandHoveJobs.com. All information shared with the Brighton community is very inspiring!” - Charlene
“I was (and am) looking for a clearer path regarding my career, as I felt an increasing need to re-evaluate the kinds of work I was doing and what types of work would best suit me, with the qualifications I have.
Following the sessions, I feel that I have been greatly helped in being able to narrow down a wide number of possible areas of work and career to a few specific choices and these I can then research further.” - Jules
“Mark is passionate about his work and very sensitive to the needs of his clients. I was lucky to work with Mark in the international surrounding where he shared knowledge and skills regarding career counselling with the group of youth workers coming from 8 European countries. Through his work he challenged many limiting beliefs and helped me and others to realize our potentials in a better light and get ideas for helping others do the same. I would strongly recommend Mark for any challenging task since he proved to be flexible, process oriented but also having results in mind, and the most important of all, very positive and inspiring coworker.” - Jelena
“Before my sessions with Mark I... wasn't sure where to begin with regards to thinking about a new career. After the sessions with Mark I... learnt that it makes sense to look for a job/career that primarily matches your personality. I discovered my personality type and found it useful to work out several elements I do and don't want from a job. I will now research into jobs that match my personality type. Having a good basis to work from, I will now research into various areas.” - Helen
“When I was doing my A Levels all my friends were planning to go to university. I didn't want to go to university but at the same time I didn't really know what to do next either. I had a few meetings with Mark which were very helpful in helping me making up my mind with what to do next.” - Rob G, IT Technician, Worthing College
“I wouldn't be here if someone like you hadn't had faith in my personal and academic ability to achieve what I put my mind to.” - Sarita J, Law Graduate
“Before I went to see Mark at school I was unsure of what career path I wanted to take and if university was something I would enjoy. After just 2 sessions, Mark had helped me to realise that I was very interested in doing Social Work and it helped me plan for my A Levels. I'm now at Sussex University studying Social Work and still love it!” - India E, Brighton University
“Good advice and I gained great confidence having completed the workshop. I now have a goal to research college courses in Civil Engineering. ” - Michael
“The workshop helped me to understand my personality and values.” - Andrea
“Before the workshop I wasn’t sure where to start with thinking about a new job. I now have a better idea about what makes me tick and the things I need to consider to get a job I love Mark’s style was clear and upbeat with good advice and relevant activities.” - Jamie
“Before the workshop I was sceptical about what to expect. Now I have a clear view about my future. Mark’s style of delivery was excellent” - Mark
“The workshop made me think about myself – lately I have not given myself enough space to do this. I was very impressed with the quality of the resources. Thanks for the workbook, I wasn’t expecting it. I’m now going to work through it with someone else to help it become ‘real’.” - Dawn
“I rediscovered the ‘home truths’ about my personality and strengths and hence it’s given my job search a bit more direction. I am now having 6 months off (work) and will use this time to kickstart my thinking. Mark’s style was sincere, not cheesy, yet enthusiastic and positive.” - Fiona
“Excellent workshop which just came at the right time in my life and I now feel very positive about the future.” - Tania
“The workshop made me think about what I want and who I am and the importance of these being aligned. It made me realise how important it is to me to have excitement and passion in my job. The workshop was relaxed and fun with a good mix of interaction.” - Emma
“The materials were useful and helped me to clarify in my mind what I’d like to do and to help me know myself better. I will now go away and complete my plan. The atmosphere was friendly and interactive” - Ana
“What I found most useful was the incorporating of beliefs, personality type and values into the career search. I got to know myself better and have set clear goals.” - Caroline
“It is very useful to be able to talk to others and be obliged to develop ideas/goals. I will now complete the folder as I need to put my thoughts into written word to really understand them” - Cecile
And here’s a few more (unfortunately mainly anonymous) testimonials from some recent workshops I ran in Serbia (English is their second language):
“Mark was our trainer in a 7 day International Training Course on topics of youth career guidance for youth workers from 8 countries. His work is amazing - aside from providing skills for our work, he helped us to think over our lives and things we want to do. This training course and his energy gave me a new wave of enthusiasm for both - working with youth and developing myself. I hope I will have the opportunity to work with him again.” - Ana
