Mark Culmer

Mark is an experienced Executive Leadership Team Coach and trainer whose primary focus is leadership and team development. Mark creates the safe environment and space for teams and individuals, to enable working with new information, ideas, values, beliefs and attitudes that allows the ‘holding and exchange’ of current reality and what might be.

Coaching through transformational leadership generates high-performing teams, and it’s these teams that are able to work with the challenges facing organisations:

· Strategic thinking, prioritization, , purposeful decision-making, and getting up to speed with the challenge ahead

· Developing others, inspiring and motivating your workforce to work smarter

· Team Leadership: where to start when taking over a new team, instil pride within a team, support team development and growth

· Guiding change through the challenge of managing, mobilizing, understanding, and leading change. Overcoming resistance to change, and deal with employees’ reaction to change

· The challenge of managing relationships, politics, and gravitas. Gaining managerial support and managing up; getting buy-in from other departments, groups, or individuals.

Mark’s coaching style is grounded in physical, intellectual and emotional being that can be the first connection to opening doors to potential. He brings the qualities of mindfulness, immediacy and presence that establish a relationship and nurtures rapport. Mark’s ability to create both authority and presence in the relationship attracts the energy to shift a meeting, conversation or event. This shift creates an impact that open doors to new possibilities and connects to greater performance. It’s about soft skills and hard outcomes: outcomes that can be measured.
